Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Q: What kind of fossils are excellent markers for correlating the ages of sedimentary rocks? Choices: - agonum - euglena - vertiscom - foram A:
A: foram

Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: 2.3 | Biological Molecules By the end of this section, you will be able to: Describe the ways in which carbon is critical to life Explain the impact of slight changes in amino acids on organisms Describe the four major types of biological molecules Understand the functions of the four major types of molecules The large molecules necessary for life that are built from smaller organic molecules are called biological macromolecules. There are four major classes of biological macromolecules (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids), and each is an important component of the cell and performs a wide array of functions. Combined, these molecules make up the majority of a cell's mass. Biological macromolecules are organic, meaning that they contain carbon. In addition, they may contain hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, and additional minor elements. Q: Biological macromolecules are organic, which means that they must contain what? Choices: - hydrogen - aluminum - oxygen - carbon A:
A: carbon

Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: The lifecycle of basidiomycetes includes alternation of generations (Figure 24.16). Spores are generally produced through sexual reproduction, rather than asexual reproduction. The club-shaped basidium carries spores called basidiospores. In the basidium, nuclei of two different mating strains fuse (karyogamy), giving rise to a diploid zygote that then undergoes meiosis. The haploid nuclei migrate into basidiospores, which germinate and generate monokaryotic hyphae. The mycelium that results is called a primary mycelium. Mycelia of different mating strains can combine and produce a secondary mycelium that contains haploid nuclei of two different mating strains. This is the dikaryotic stage of the basidiomyces lifecyle and and it is the dominant stage. Eventually, the secondary mycelium generates a basidiocarp, which is a fruiting body that protrudes from the groundthis is what we think of as a mushroom. The basidiocarp bears the developing basidia on the gills under its cap. Q: Spores are generally produced through what type of reproduction? Choices: - similar - asexual - hormone - sexual A:
A: sexual

Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Cell division is how organisms grow and repair themselves. It is also how many organisms produce offspring. For many single-celled organisms, reproduction is a similar process. The parent cell simply divides to form two daughter cells that are identical to the parent. In many other organisms, two parents are involved, and the offspring are not identical to the parents. In fact, each offspring is unique. Look at the family in Figure below . The children resemble their parents, but they are not identical to them. Instead, each has a unique combination of characteristics inherited from both parents. Q: How do organisms grow and repair themselves? Choices: - cell death - mutation - symbosis - cell division A:
A: cell division
