A: adipocytes

Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Introduction Since the rediscovery of Mendel's work in 1900, the definition of the gene has progressed from an abstract unit of heredity to a tangible molecular entity capable of replication, expression, and mutation (Figure 15.1). Genes are composed of DNA and are linearly arranged on chromosomes. Genes specify the sequences of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. In turn, proteins are responsible for orchestrating nearly every function of the cell. Both genes and the proteins they encode are absolutely essential to life as we know it. Q: What are known as the building blocks of proteins? A:

OPTIONS:
- organism acids
- protein acids
- bases
- amino acids

A: amino acids

Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: To begin mitosis, the DNA in the nucleus wraps around proteins to form chromosomes . Each organism has a unique number of chromosomes. In human cells, our DNA is divided up into 23 pairs of chromosomes. Replicated DNA forms a chromosome made from two identical sister chromatids , forming an "X" shaped molecule ( Figure below ). The two chromatids are held together on the chromosome by the centromere . The centromere is also where spindle fiber microtubules attach during mitosis. The spindles separate sister chromatids from each other. Q: What forms when the dna in the nucleus wraps around proteins? A:

OPTIONS:
- rna
- genes
- ribosomes
- chromosomes

A: chromosomes

Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: When Earth first formed, it was a fiery hot, barren ball. It had no oceans or atmosphere. Rivers of melted rock flowed over its surface. Gradually, the planet cooled and formed a solid crust. Gases from volcanoes formed an atmosphere, although it contained only a trace of oxygen. As the planet continued to cool, clouds formed and rain fell. Rainwater helped form oceans. The ancient atmosphere and oceans would be toxic to modern life, but they set the stage for life to begin. Q: What did volcanic gases help to form on earth? A:

OPTIONS:
- water
- plants
- rocks
- atmosphere

A:
atmosphere
