Answer the following question given this paragraph: The amount of solar radiation a place receives is greatest at the Equator and lessens toward the poles. Q: What kind of radiation is greatest at the equator and lessens toward the poles? Choices: - lunar raditation - small radiation - large radiation - solar radiation A:
solar radiation
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Plant Life Spans The length of time from the beginning of development to the death of a plant is called its life span. The life cycle, on the other hand, is the sequence of stages a plant goes through from seed germination to seed production of the mature plant. Some plants, such as annuals, only need a few weeks to grow, produce seeds and die. Other plants, such as the bristlecone pine, live for thousands of years. Some bristlecone pines have a documented age of 4,500 years Figure 32.29. Even as some parts of a plant, such as regions containing meristematic tissuethe area of active plant growth consisting of undifferentiated cells capable of cell divisioncontinue to grow, some parts undergo programmed cell death (apoptosis). The cork found on stems, and the water-conducting tissue of the xylem, for example, are composed of dead cells. Q: Life span is distinct from what, which means the sequence of stages a plant goes through from seed germination to seed production of the mature plant? Choices: - feeding cycle - society cycle - spin cycle - life cycle A:
life cycle
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Q: Which outermost secondary xylem layers transport water? Choices: - the farthest - the oldest - the narrowest - the youngest A:
A: the youngest
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Weathering changes solid rock into sediments. Sediments are different sizes of rock particles. Boulders are sediments; so is gravel. At the other end, silt and clay are also sediments. Weathering causes rocks at the Earth's surface to change form. The new minerals that form are stable at the Earth's surface. Q: Which process causes rocks at the earth's surface to change form? Choices: - bleaching - remodeling - eroding - weathering A:
Answer: weathering

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Through asexual reproduction , new organisms are produced that are genetically identical to the parent. That is, they have exactly the same DNA. Fungi reproduce asexually through three methods:. Q: What type of reproduction do fungi engage in? Choices: - sexual - ephemeral - microscopic - asexual A:
**Answer**
asexual

Answer the following question given this paragraph: After Mendel's first set of experiments, Mendel wanted to see if the inheritance of characteristics were dependent, or were they independent events. Mendel asked if the segregation of the heritable factors (allele) for one characteristic (gene) had any effect of the segregation of the factors for another characteristic. For example, did the segregation of the flower color factors have any effect on the segregation of the seed shape factors? So Mendel performed crosses in which he followed the segregation of two genes. Mendel crossed pea plants that differed in two characteristics, such as seed color and shape. A dihybrid cross is a cross in which the inheritance of two characteristics are tracked at the same time. The offspring of such a cross are called dihybrids . Q: What is the term for a cross in which the inheritance of two characteristics are tracked at the same time? Choices: - fraternal - identical twin - Mendelian - dihybrid cross A:
(Answer)
dihybrid cross
