Answer the following question given this paragraph: Oogenesis begins long before birth when an oogonium with the diploid number of chromosomes undergoes mitosis. It produces a diploid daughter cell called a primary oocyte. The primary oocyte, in turn, starts to go through the first cell division of meiosis (meiosis I). However, it does not complete meiosis until much later. The primary oocyte remains in a resting state, nestled in a tiny, immature follicle until puberty. Q: What begins when an oogonium with the diploid number of chromosomes undergoes mitosis? A:
OPTIONS:
- germination
- morphogenesis
- gametogenesis
- oogenesis
oogenesis

Answer the following question given this paragraph: The atmosphere is a thin layer of gas that surrounds Earth. Climatologists study the atmosphere. These scientists work to understand the climate as it is now. They also study how climate will change in response to global warming. Q: What is a thin layer of gas that surrounds earth called? A:
OPTIONS:
- the cloud cover
- the dioxide
- the wind cycle
- the atmosphere

Answer: the atmosphere

Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Genetics is the branch of biology that focuses on heredity. The basics of heredity are similar for all organisms that reproduce sexually: the offspring receive one set of genetic material from one parent and the other set from the other parent. But are there aspects of genetics that are specific for humans? Let's find out. Q: What branch of biology focuses on heredity? A:
OPTIONS:
- Epidemiology
- ontology
- semiotics
- genetics
Answer: genetics

input with options: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Near-Earth asteroids have orbits that cross Earth's orbit. This means that they can collide with Earth. There are over 4,500 known near-Earth asteroids. Small asteroids do sometimes collide with Earth. An asteroid about 510 m in diameter hits about once per year. Five hundred to a thousand of the known near-Earth asteroids are much bigger. They are over 1 kilometer in diameter. When large asteroids hit Earth in the past, many organisms died. At times, many species became extinct in a mass extinction. Astronomers keep looking for near-Earth asteroids. They hope to predict a possible collision early so they can to try to stop it. Q: Near-earth asteroids cross paths with earth, meaning they could collide; what are the paths called? A:
OPTIONS:
- trajectory
- curves
- galaxies
- orbits
output: orbits

Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: The reaction of an alkyl halide with an inorganic hydroxide base at elevated temperature produces an alcohol. The molecular reaction to produce methanol from iodomethane and sodium hydroxide is shown below. Q: The reaction of an alkyl halide with an inorganic hydroxide base at elevated temperature produces what? A:

OPTIONS:
- blood
- methane
- yeast
- an alcohol

A: an alcohol

Answer the following question given this paragraph: When geologic and climatic conditions are changing, evolution may occur more quickly. Thus, long periods of little change may be interrupted by bursts of rapid change. This model of the timing of evolution is called punctuated equilibrium . It is better supported by the fossil record than is gradualism. Q: Fossil records support the idea that periods of little change may be interrupted by bursts of rapid change, an evolutionary model contrasted by what? A:
OPTIONS:
- elitism
- darwinian
- minimalism
- gradualism
gradualism
