input with options: Answer the following question given this paragraph: The two members of a given pair of chromosomes are called homologous chromosomes . We get one of each homologous pair, or 23 chromosomes, from our father. We get the other one of each pair, or 23 chromosomes, from our mother. A gamete must have the haploid number of chromosomes. That way, when two gametes unite, the zygote will have the diploid number. How are haploid cells produced? The answer is meiosis. Q: The two members of a given pair of chromosomes are called what? A:
OPTIONS:
- tissue chromosomes
- divergant chromosomes
- isolated chromosomes
- homologous chromosomes
output: homologous chromosomes

Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: transient males. Since these loyal males already bond and cooperate with females, it may well be a simple matter for them to bond and cooperate with each other. In a semi-counter intuitive manner, the ability to bond with males could be selected for based on its effect on reproductive success with females. On the other hand, a male that commits himself to a cooperative (loyal and exclusive) arrangement with a female necessarily limits his interactions One of the most robust and reliable findings in with other females. This implies that he will attempt to insure the scientific literature on interpersonal that the offspring he is raising are genetically related to him. attraction is the overwhelming role played by physical attractiveness in defining the ideal Of course, another possibility is that a loyal male may be romantic partner (Hatfield & Sprecher, 1986; attractive to multiple females, who in turn compete for his Jackson, 1992). Both men and women express attention and loyalty. Clearly the outcome of such interactions marked preference for an attractive partner in a is influenced by how many females can the male effectively non- committed short-term (casual, one night stand) relationship (Buss & Schmitt, 1993). protect (that is, improve their reproductive success). The situation quickly gets complex and many competing strategies are possible. Different species make different choices depending upon their evolutionary history and environmental constraints. As we noted above, secondary sexual characteristics, that is, traits that vary dramatically between the two sexes, serve to advertise various traits, including heath, loyalty, robustness, and fertility. The size and symmetry of a beetle's or an elk's antlers or a grasshopper's song communicate rather clearly their state of health.192 The tail of the male peacock is a common example, a male either has large, colorful and symmetrical tail, all signs of a health or it does not there is little room for ambiguity. These predictions have been confirmed... Q: The size and symmetry of a beetle's or an elk's antlers or a grasshopper's song communicate rather clearly their state of what? A:

OPTIONS:
- society
- problem
- need
- health

A: health

input: OPTIONS:
- pyramid
- coil-shaped
- tubular
- hollow ball shaped Now, answer this question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Volvox Colony. Volvox cells live in a colony shaped like a hollow ball. The cells of the colony may be connected by strands of cytoplasm and can function together. For example, the whole colony can swim from one place to another as one. Q: What shape is the colony of a volvox cell? A:
A:
output: hollow ball shaped

Answer the following question given this paragraph: 1.5 Homeostasis Homeostasis is the activity of cells throughout the body to maintain the physiological state within a narrow range that is compatible with life. Homeostasis is regulated by negative feedback loops and, much less frequently, by positive feedback loops. Both have the same components of a stimulus, sensor, control center, and effector; however, negative feedback loops work to prevent an excessive response to the stimulus, whereas positive feedback loops intensify the response until an end point is reached. Q: What intensifies the response during homeostasis? A:

OPTIONS:
- pressure loops
- pure loops
- negative feedback loops
- positive feedback loops

Answer: positive feedback loops

Problem: OPTIONS:
- neutrophils
- white blood cells
- platelets
- red blood cells
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Q: What are the most numerous blood cells? A:
Answer: red blood cells

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Plant Parasites and Pathogens The production of sufficient good-quality crops is essential to human existence. Plant diseases have ruined crops, bringing widespread famine. Many plant pathogens are fungi that cause tissue decay and eventual death of the host (Figure 24.25). In addition to destroying plant tissue directly, some plant pathogens spoil crops by producing potent toxins. Fungi are also responsible for food spoilage and the rotting of stored crops. For example, the fungus Claviceps purpurea causes ergot, a disease of cereal crops (especially of rye). Although the fungus reduces the yield of cereals, the effects of the ergot's alkaloid toxins on humans and animals are of much greater significance. In animals, the disease is referred to as ergotism. The most common signs and symptoms are convulsions, hallucination, gangrene, and loss of milk in cattle. The active ingredient of ergot is lysergic acid, which is a precursor of the drug LSD. Smuts, rusts, and powdery or downy mildew are other examples of common fungal pathogens that affect crops. Q: Which is the active ingredient of cereal crop disease, ergot? A:

OPTIONS:
- byblis acid
- amino acid
- pixelation acid
- lysergic acid

Answer:
lysergic acid
