Answer the following question given this paragraph: A sex-linked trait is a trait whose allele is found on a sex chromosome. The human X chromosome is significantly larger than the Y chromosome; there are many more genes located on the X chromosome than there are on the Y chromosome. As a result there are many more X-linked traits than there are Y-linked traits. Most sex-linked traits are recessive. Because males carry only one X chromosome, if they inherit a recessive sex-linked gene they will show a sex-linked condition; there is no dominant allele to offset the recessive allele. Q: What is a trait whose allele is found on a sex chromosome called? Choices: - dimorphism - linked trait - gender trait - genomic trait - sex-linked trait A:
sex-linked trait
Answer the following question given this paragraph: The process of getting oxygen into the body and releasing carbon dioxide is called respiration . Sometimes breathing is called respiration, but there is much more to respiration than just breathing. Breathing is only the movement of oxygen into the body and carbon dioxide out of the body. The process of respiration also includes the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the blood and the cells of the body. Q: The process of getting oxygen into the body and releasing carbon dioxide is called? Choices: - osmosis - persperation - precipitation - respiration A:
respiration
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Maintaining a high metabolic rate takes a lot of energy. The energy must come from food. Therefore, mammals need a nutritious and plentiful diet. The diets of mammals are diverse. Except for leaf litter and wood, almost any kind of organic matter may be eaten by mammals. Q: Maintaining a high metabolic rate takes a lot of what? Choices: - food - calories - fuel - energy A:
A: energy
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Another example of a thermal insulator is pictured in the Figure below . The picture shows fluffy pink insulation inside the attic of a home. Like the down filling in a snowsuit, the insulation traps a lot of air. The insulation helps to prevent the transfer of thermal energy into the house on hot days and out of the house on cold days. Other materials that are thermal insulators include plastic and wood. That's why pot handles and cooking utensils are often made of these materials. Notice that the outside of the toaster pictured in the opening image is made of plastic. The plastic casing helps prevent the transfer of thermal energy from the heating element inside to the outer surface of the toaster where it could cause burns.

Q: What is the name for a material that prevents the transfer of heat energy? Choices: - physical insulator - structure insulator - thermal condenser - thermal insulator A:
Answer: thermal insulator

Answer the following question given this paragraph: When the amount of solute dissolved exceeds the solubility of the solute. Occurs when a solution is saturated and the temperature slowly drops. Q: What occurs when the amount of solute dissolved exceeds the solubility of the solute? Choices: - salination - absorption - stimulation - saturation A:
**Answer**
saturation

Choices: - 1 times - 1000 times - 100 times - 10 times A:
10 times
