Answer the following question given this paragraph: treat genetic disorders. For example, copies of a normal gene might be inserted into a patient with a defective gene. This is called gene therapy . Ideally, it can cure a genetic disorder. Q: Inserting copies of normal genes into a patient with defective genes is known as? Choices: - pattern therapy - cloning - chromosome treatment - gene therapy A:
gene therapy
Answer the following question given this paragraph: If you look at a star through a prism, you will see a spectrum . The spectrum is the range of colors seen in a rainbow. The spectrum has specific dark bands where elements in the star have absorbed light of certain energies. An astronomer can use these lines to determine which elements are in a distant star. In fact, the element helium was first discovered in our Sun, not on Earth. This was done by analyzing the absorption lines in the spectrum of the sun. Q: What will you see if you look at a star through a prism? Choices: - kaleidoscope - rainbow - spots - spectrum A:
spectrum
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: The Chromosomal Theory of Inheritance was consistent with Mendel's laws and was supported by the following observations: During meiosis, homologous chromosome pairs migrate as discrete structures that are independent of other chromosome pairs. The sorting of chromosomes from each homologous pair into pre-gametes appears to be random. Each parent synthesizes gametes that contain only half of their chromosomal complement. Even though male and female gametes (sperm and egg) differ in size and morphology, they have the same number of chromosomes, suggesting equal genetic contributions from each parent. The gametic chromosomes combine during fertilization to produce offspring with the same chromosome number as their parents. Q: During meiosis, each parent synthesizes gametes that contain only half of their complement of what? Choices: - receptors - neutrons - atoms - chromosomes A:
A: chromosomes
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: We are lucky to have an atmosphere on Earth. The atmosphere supports life, and is also needed for the water cycle and weather. The gases of the atmosphere even allow us to hear. Q: What supports life, and is also needed for the water cycle and weather? Choices: - fossil fuels - oxygen - greenhouse gas - atmosphere A:
Answer: atmosphere

Answer the following question given this paragraph: When we conserve resources, we also cut down on the trash we produce. Americans throw out 340 million tons of trash each year. We throw out 2.5 million plastic bottles aloneevery hour! Most of what we throw out ends up in landfills ( Figure below ). In a landfill, all those plastic bottles take hundreds of years to break down. What are the problems caused by producing so much trash? Natural resources must be used to produce the materials. Land must be given over to dump the materials. If the materials are toxic, they may cause pollution. Q: What is another environmental benefit of conserving resources? Choices: - more jobs - warmer temperatures - lower prices - less trash A:
**Answer**
less trash

Answer the following question given this paragraph: The deprotonated form of an acid is referred to as its conjugate base. Similarly, the protonated form of a base is referred to as its conjugate acid. Q: As ph increases what happens to a solution? Choices: - becomes less basic - depends on the solution - stays the same - becomes more basic A:
(Answer)
becomes more basic
