Kai looks at a photo of herself with her parents. She notices that, while her features are similar to her parents’ features, they do not appear to be identical. Which explains why this is the case?

Omar studies the effects of a drought on the depth of water in a pond. He takes a reading of the water depth at the same location in the pond every day for the duration of the drought. Which method of displaying data would he most likely use to show changes in water depth?

Katie wants to make ball-and-stick models of the four macromolecules. She has colored balls for each of the elements in these molecules, including the following. red: hydrogen black: carbon purple: oxygen green: nitrogenIn which macromolecule will she use the black, red, and purple balls in a ratio of 1:2:1?

Look at the picture below.What macromolecules make up most of the structure that is shown?

Punnett squares are used to show possible combinations of alleles or to predict the probability of a trait occurring in offspring. A pansy that is homozygous for purple flowers (PP) is crossed with a pansy that is homozygous for pink flowers (pp). Which genotypes will be included for the offspring in the Punnett square for this cross?

What is the next step in the process after a substrate enters the active site of an enzyme?

Some theories are developed from repeated testing of a single hypothesis. Cell theory, germ theory, and the theory of evolution all have developed from the testing of multiple related hypotheses. Which statement best explains why some theories develop this way?

Suzanne has type A– blood. Which blood type could she receive in a blood transfusion?

Mutations within an organism can occur in body cells or reproductive cells. Which type of mutation is seen in a sperm cell but not in a skin cell?

Two animals that can be found at the Grand Canyon include the Abert’s and Kaibab squirrels. The Abert’s squirrel is found at the south rim of the canyon and in a few surrounding states. The Kaibab squirrel, however, can only be found at the canyon’s north rim, mainly on the Kaibab Plateau. The Kaibab squirrel is not found anywhere else in the world. Scientists believe that the squirrels are actually closely related and have developed separately as a result of geographic isolation. It is possible that the squirrels were separated by plateau erosion that separated the forests and isolated the Kaibab population. Some scientists are studying if the squirrels are now two separate species or if the Kaibab squirrel is simply a subspecies of the Abert’s squirrel. Separate species are unable to reproduce with each other. Which evidence would be used to support the claim that the squirrels are two separate species?
