Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Autosomal Dominant Inheritance. Only one "affected" allele is necessary to result in the "affected" phenotype. For a genetic disease inherited in this manner, only one mutant allele is necessary to result in the phenotype. Achondroplasia (discussed later) is an example of a dominant disorder. Both homozygous and heterozygous individuals will show the phenotype. Homozygous achondroplasia is usually a lethal condition. Q: In autosomal dominant inheritance only one "affected" what is necessary to result in an "affected" phenotype? A:
OPTIONS:
- molecule
- trait
- cells
- allele
Answer: allele

input with options: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Zinc is a silvery metal that quickly tarnishes to a blue-gray appearance. This change in color is due to an adherent coating of a basic carbonate, Zn2(OH)2CO3, which passivates the metal to inhibit further corrosion. Dry cell and alkaline batteries contain a zinc anode. Brass (Cu and Zn) and some bronze (Cu, Sn, and sometimes Zn) are important zinc alloys. About half of zinc production serves to protect iron and other metals from corrosion. This protection may take the form of a sacrificial anode (also known as a galvanic anode, which is a means of providing cathodic protection for various metals) or as a thin coating on the protected metal. Galvanized steel is steel with a protective coating of zinc. Q: A protective coating of zinc to prevent corrosion is applied to steel and other metals labeled what? A:
OPTIONS:
- polarized
- battered
- corroded
- galvanized
output: galvanized

Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: The majority of mollusks and annelids live in the water or inside hosts. Arthropods are invertebrates that include insects. The majority of arthropods live on land. Q: Where do the majority of arthropods live? A:

OPTIONS:
- in hives
- in water
- in air
- on land

A: on land

input: OPTIONS:
- oxygen
- Nitrogen
- hydrogen
- carbon Now, answer this question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Figure 20.11 Carbon dioxide gas exists in the atmosphere and is dissolved in water. Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide gas to organic carbon, and respiration cycles the organic carbon back into carbon dioxide gas. Long-term storage of organic carbon occurs when matter from living organisms is buried deep underground and becomes fossilized. Volcanic activity and, more recently, human emissions bring this stored carbon back into the carbon cycle. (credit: modification of work by John M. Evans and Howard Perlman, USGS). Q: Long-term storage of what element occurs when matter from living organisms is buried deep underground and becomes fossilized? A:
A:
output: carbon

Answer the following question given this paragraph: At the end of the Cretaceous Period, or 65 million years ago, all dinosaurs (except those which led to birds) went extinct. Some scientists believe a possible cause is a collision between the Earth and a comet or asteroid. The collision could have caused tidal waves, changed the climate, and reduced sunlight by 10-20%. A decrease in photosynthesis would have resulted in less plant food, leading to the extinction of the dinosaurs. Q: A comet striking the earth may have caused mass extinction, this would have decreased sunlight, which would have effected what plant process reducing food? A:

OPTIONS:
- fertilization
- decomposition
- glycolysis
- photosynthesis

Answer: photosynthesis

Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Mushrooms and other fungi obtain energy from other organisms. That's why you often see fungi growing on a fallen tree; the rotting tree is their source of energy ( Figure below ). Q: Mushrooms and other fungi obtain energy from what? A:

OPTIONS:
- the soil
- the sun
- the air
- other organisms

A:
other organisms
