Q:

When is genetic drift a major factor in evolution?

A) When there is male competition B) When there is artificial selection
C) When there is no selective pressure D) When there is disruptiveselection
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) When there is no selective pressure

Explanation:

Genetic drift or allelic drift is the change in the relative frequency in which a gene variant (allele) occurs in a population due to random sampling and chance.

 

When is genetic drift a major factor in evolution is

* When there is low gene flow.

* When there is no selective pressure.

* When there is a bottleneck.

Q:

Prokaryotic cells lack

A) Membrane bound by organelles B) Nucleolus
C) Nuclear membrane D) All the above

Explanation:

Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and do not have an extensive system of interior membranes. They are encased in a cell wall and many contain external structures such as a capsule, flagellum, or pili. Prokaryotes – have a relatively uniform interior that is not subdivided by internal membranes.

Q:

What is 6% of 3,50,000?

A) 19500 B) 21000
C) 23600 D) 24000
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 21000

Explanation:

6% of 350000

 

6100 x 3,50,000= 6 x 3500= 21,000.

 

Hence, 6% of 3,50,000 = 21,000.

Q:

The term metabolism is best defined as

A) the number of calories it takes to keep from shivering on a cold day B) biochemical reactions involved in building cell molecules or breaking down molecules for energy
C) the length of time it takes to digest and absorb fats D) a measure of carbohydrate utilization, typically involving measurement of calories
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) biochemical reactions involved in building cell molecules or breaking down molecules for energy

Explanation:

Metabolism (from Greek: μεταβολή metabolē, "change") is the set of life-sustaining chemical transformations within the cells of organisms. The three main purposes of metabolism are the conversion of food/fuel to energy to run cellular processes, the conversion of food/fuel to building blocks for proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and some carbohydrates, and the elimination of nitrogenous wastes.


In brief, the chemical processes that occur within a living organism in order to maintain life is called metabolism.

Q:

When Ionic bonds are formed metallic atoms tend to

A) share electrons B) gain electrons
C) lose electrons D) None of above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) lose electrons

Explanation:

Ionic bonding is the complete transfer of valence electron(s) between atoms. It is a type of chemical bond that generates two oppositely charged ions. In ionic bonds, the metal loses electrons to become a positively charged cation, whereas the nonmetal accepts those electrons to become a negatively charged anion.

 

Hence, when Ionic bonds are formed metallic atoms tend to lose electrons and become positive ions

Q:

A number when subtracted by 1/7 th of itself gives the same value as the sum of all the angles of a triangle. What is the number?

A) 420 B) 210
C) 70 D) 35
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 210

Explanation:

Let the required number be 'p'

We know, sum of angles in a triangle are 180 deg

According to given data,

p - p/7 = 180

7p - p = 180 x 7

=> 6p = 1260

=> p = 1260/6 = 210

Q:

What happens when two atoms form a chemical bond?

A) Two atoms fuse together to form a chemical bond B) The atoms share or transfer electrons
C) A chemical bond forms when two atoms transfer or share protons to achieve a stable nucleus D) Like charges in the atoms cause them to stick together
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) The atoms share or transfer electrons

Explanation:

All chemistry is based on sharing electrons. A chemical bond forms when two atoms transfer or share outer electrons to complete their outer shells.
