Answer the following question given this paragraph: The seminiferous tubules within each testis join to form the epididymis. The epididymis (plural, epididymes) is a coiled tube about 6 meters (20 feet) long lying atop the testis inside the scrotum. The functions of the epididymis are to mature and store mature sperm until they leave the body. Q: What joins within each testis to form the epididymis? Choices: - viviparous tubules - hypodermic tubules - interstitial tubules - seminiferous tubules A:
seminiferous tubules
Answer the following question given this paragraph: 10.1 | Cloning and Genetic Engineering By the end of this section, you will be able to: Explain the basic techniques used to manipulate genetic material Explain molecular and reproductive cloning Biotechnology is the use of artificial methods to modify the genetic material of living organisms or cells to produce novel compounds or to perform new functions. Biotechnology has been used for improving livestock and crops since the beginning of agriculture through selective breeding. Since the discovery of the structure of DNA in 1953, and particularly since the development of tools and methods to manipulate DNA in the 1970s, biotechnology has become synonymous with the manipulation of organisms' DNA at the molecular level. The primary applications of this technology are in medicine (for the production of vaccines and antibiotics) and in agriculture (for the genetic modification of crops). Biotechnology also has many industrial applications, such as fermentation, the treatment of oil spills, and the production of biofuels, as well as many household applications such as the use of enzymes in laundry detergent. Q: The primary application of biotechnology is in what field? Choices: - physics - chemistry - psychology - medicine A:
medicine
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Almost all fish have sexual reproduction, generally with separate sexes. Most fish are oviparous. Many species reproduce by spawning. Eggs hatch to form larvae, which undergo metamorphosis to become adults. Q: What do fish eggs hatch to form? Choices: - adolescent fish - tadpoles - unfertilized eggs - fish eggs hatch to form larvae A:
A: fish eggs hatch to form larvae
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Fermentationof grains to produce beer, and of fruits to produce wineis an ancient art that humans in most cultures have practiced for millennia. Wild yeasts are acquired from the environment and used to ferment sugars into CO2 and ethyl alcohol under anaerobic conditions. It is now possible to purchase isolated strains of wild yeasts from different wine-making regions. Louis Pasteur was instrumental in developing a reliable strain of brewer's yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, for the French brewing industry in the late 1850s. This was one of the first examples of biotechnology patenting. Many secondary metabolites of fungi are of great commercial importance. Antibiotics are naturally produced by fungi to kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria, limiting their competition in the natural environment. Important antibiotics, such as penicillin and the cephalosporins, are isolated from fungi. Valuable drugs isolated from fungi include the immunosuppressant drug cyclosporine (which reduces the risk of rejection after organ transplant), the precursors of steroid hormones, and ergot alkaloids used to stop bleeding. Psilocybin is a compound found in fungi such as Psilocybe semilanceata and Gymnopilus junonius, which have been used for their hallucinogenic properties by various cultures for thousands of years. As simple eukaryotic organisms, fungi are important model research organisms. Many advances in modern genetics were achieved by the use of the red bread mold Neurospora crassa. Additionally, many important genes originally discovered in S. cerevisiae served as a starting point in discovering analogous human genes. As a eukaryotic organism, the yeast cell produces and modifies proteins in a manner similar to human cells, as opposed to the bacterium Escherichia coli, which lacks the internal membrane structures and enzymes to tag proteins for export. This makes yeast a much better organism for use in recombinant DNA technology experiments. Like bacteria, yeasts grow easily in culture, have a short generation time,... Q: Fermentationof grains to produce beer, and of fruits to produce wineis an ancient art that humans in most cultures have practiced for how long? Choices: - years - eons - decades - millennia A:
Answer: millennia

Answer the following question given this paragraph: The Milky Way Galaxy is a spiral galaxy that contains about 400 billion stars. Like other spiral galaxies, it has a disk, a central bulge, and spiral arms. The disk is about 100,000 light-years across. It is about 3,000 light years thick. Most of the galaxy's gas, dust, young stars, and open clusters are in the disk. Some astronomers think that there is a gigantic black hole at the center of the galaxy. Figure below shows what the Milky Way probably looks like from the outside. Q: The milky way galaxy is which shape type of galaxy? Choices: - cylindrical - spherical - helical - spiral A:
**Answer**
spiral
