Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: A newborn baby has a soft spot on the top of its head. Over the next few months, the soft spot gradually hardens. What explains this?. Q: A newborn baby has a soft spot on the top of its head. over the next few months, the soft spot gradually does what? A:

OPTIONS:
- weakens
- grows
- shrinks
- hardens

A: hardens

input: OPTIONS:
- extinction
- evolution
- re-population
- interbreeding Now, answer this question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Assume that some members of a species become geographically separated from the rest of the species. If they remain separated long enough, they may evolve genetic differences. If the differences prevent them from interbreeding with members of the original species, they have evolved into a new species. Speciation that occurs in this way is called allopatric speciation . An example is described in the Figure below . Q: A new species is said to have evolved if separated members of a species evolve genetic differences that prevent what from occurring with the original members?? A:
A:
output: interbreeding

Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Budding occurs when a parent cell forms a bubble-like bud. The bud stays attached to the parent cell while it grows and develops. When the bud is fully developed, it breaks away from the parent cell and forms a new organism. Budding in yeast is shown in Figure below . Q: When the bud is fully developed, it breaks away from the parent cell and forms a new what? A:
Answer: organism

Problem:OPTIONS:
- induction
- convection
- thermal radiation
- conduction

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Sunlight is turned into electricity at a solar power plant. These power plants use a large group of mirrors to focus sunlight on one place. This place is called a receiver ( Figure below ). At the receiver, a liquid such as oil or water is heated to a high temperature. The liquid transfers its heat by conduction . In conduction, energy moves between two objects that are in contact. The higher temperature object transfers heat to the lower temperature object. For example, when you heat a pot of water on a stove top, energy moves from the pot to its metal handle by conduction. At a solar power plant, the energy conducted by the heated liquid is used to make electricity. Q: When you heat a pot of water on a stove top, energy moves from the pot to its metal handle by what process? A:
****
A: conduction
