Q: The largest phylum in the animal kingdom, arthropod, is primarily comprised of what? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Arthropods are the largest phylum in the animal kingdom. Most arthropods are insects. The phylum also includes spiders, centipedes, and crustaceans. The arthropod body consists of three segments with a hard exoskeleton and jointed appendages. Terrestrial arthropods have adaptations for life on land, such as trachea or book lungs for breathing air. The earliest arthropods were trilobites. The earliest land arthropods were millipedes. Choices: - reptiles - mammals - amphibians - insects A:
insects

Q: The cells in the follicle undergo physical changes and produce a structure called a what? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Following ovulation, the ovarian cycle enters its luteal phase, illustrated in Figure 43.15 and the menstrual cycle enters its secretory phase, both of which run from about day 15 to 28. The luteal and secretory phases refer to changes in the ruptured follicle. The cells in the follicle undergo physical changes and produce a structure called a corpus luteum. The corpus luteum produces estrogen and progesterone. The progesterone facilitates the regrowth of the uterine lining and inhibits the release of further FSH and LH. The uterus is being prepared to accept a fertilized egg, should it occur during this cycle. The inhibition of FSH and LH prevents any further eggs and follicles from developing, while the progesterone is elevated. The level of estrogen produced by the corpus luteum increases to a steady level for the next few days. If no fertilized egg is implanted into the uterus, the corpus luteum degenerates and the levels of estrogen and progesterone decrease. The endometrium begins to degenerate as the progesterone levels drop, initiating the next menstrual cycle. The decrease in progesterone also allows the hypothalamus to send GnRH to the anterior pituitary, releasing FSH and LH and starting the cycles again. Figure 43.17 visually compares the ovarian and uterine cycles as well as the commensurate hormone levels. Choices: - primordial follicle - liberated ovum - secondary ovum - corpus luteum A:
(Answer)
corpus luteum

Ques: Q: Gene therapy is a type of what kind of engineering? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Biotechnology in Medicine and Agriculture It is easy to see how biotechnology can be used for medicinal purposes. Knowledge of the genetic makeup of our species, the genetic basis of heritable diseases, and the invention of technology to manipulate and fix mutant genes provides methods to treat the disease. Biotechnology in agriculture can enhance resistance to disease, pest, and environmental stress, and improve both crop yield and quality. Genetic Diagnosis and Gene Therapy The process of testing for suspected genetic defects before administering treatment is called genetic diagnosis by genetic testing. Depending on the inheritance patterns of a disease-causing gene, family members are advised to undergo genetic testing. For example, women diagnosed with breast cancer are usually advised to have a biopsy so that the medical team can determine the genetic basis of cancer development. Treatment plans are based on the findings of genetic tests that determine the type of cancer. If the cancer is caused by inherited gene mutations, other female relatives are also advised to undergo genetic testing and periodic screening for breast cancer. Genetic testing is also offered for fetuses (or embryos with in vitro fertilization) to determine the presence or absence of disease-causing genes in families with specific debilitating diseases. Gene therapy is a genetic engineering technique used to cure disease. In its simplest form, it involves the introduction of a good gene at a random location in the genome to aid the cure of a disease that is caused by a mutated gene. The good gene is usually introduced into diseased cells as part of a vector transmitted by a virus that can infect the host cell and deliver the foreign DNA (Figure 17.9). More advanced forms of gene therapy try to correct the mutation at the original site in the genome, such as is the case with treatment of severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID). Choices: - mechanical engineering - electrical engineering - chemical engineering - genetic engineering A:
Ans: genetic engineering

Q: What do you call the force identified by a north and south pole? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Choices: - buoyancy - gravity - normal force - magnetism A:
(A).
magnetism

Ques:Q: What are the two factors that affect the pressure of fluids? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Two factors that affect the pressure of fluids are depth and density. This explains why water pressure is greater deeper in the ocean and air pressure is greatest at sea level. Denser fluids, such as water, exert more pressure than less dense fluids, such as air. Choices: - viscosity and gravity - momentum and density - depth and decrease - depth and density A:

Ans:depth and density

Question: Q: What are the three types of rna involved in protein synthesis? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: There are three types of RNA involved in protein synthesis: messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribisomal RNA (rRNA). All three of these nucleic acids work together to produce a protein. The mRNA takes the genetic instructions from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, where the ribosomes are located. Ribosomes are the organelles where the proteins are made. The ribosomes themselves are made out of rRNA and other proteins. The mRNA binds to the ribosome, bringing the genetic instructions to order the amino acids to the site of protein synthesis. Finally, the tRNA brings the correct amino acid to the ribosome ( Figure below and Figure below ). In mRNA, the four nucleotides (A, C, G, and U) are arranged into codons of three bases each. Each codon encodes for a specific amino acid, except for the stop codons , which terminate protein synthesis. tRNA, which has a specific "3-leaf clover structure," contains a three base region called the anticodon , which can base pair to the corresponding three-base codon region on mRNA. More will be discussed on these processes in the Protein Synthesis: The Genetic Code (Advanced) and Protein Synthesis: Translation (Advanced) concepts. Choices: - messenger, organic and transfer - messenger, transfer, and organic - organic , transfer , and ribosomal - messenger, transfer, and ribosomal A:
Answer:
messenger, transfer, and ribosomal
