1. What is the purpose of genetic counseling?

• A. To treat genetic disorders.
• B. To diagnose genetic diseases in newborns.
• C. To provide information and support to individuals and families with genetic risks.
• D. To collect DNA samples for research purposes.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To provide information and support to individuals and families with genetic risks. Genetic counselors explain the implications of genetic testing, discuss risks and options, and offer emotional and psychological support.

2. A car is traveling on a curved road. What force keeps the car moving along the curved path?

• A. Gravitational force
• B. Normal force from the road
• C. Air resistance
• D. Friction between the tires and the road

Correct answer: D

Rationale: In this case, static friction acts between the tires and the road, providing the centripetal force required to keep the car moving in a circle even though it's traveling in a straight line relative to the ground.

3. 12 is a/an:

• A. even number
• B. odd number
• C. prime number
• D. composite number

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Even numbers are integers divisible by 2 without a remainder. Since 12 divided by 2 equals 6 with no remainder, 12 is even.

4. What happens to the density of a substance if its mass increases while its volume remains constant?

• A. Density increases
• B. Density decreases
• C. Density remains constant
• D. Density becomes zero

Correct answer: a

Rationale: Density is the ratio of mass to volume. If the mass increases while the volume remains constant, the density will increase as there is more mass in the same volume.

5. The term "symbiotic relationship" describes an interaction between two organisms where:

• A. One organism benefits and the other is unaffected
• B. Both organisms are harmed by the interaction
• C. One organism benefits and the other is negatively impacted
• D. Both organisms benefit from the interaction

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Rationale: In a symbiotic relationship, both organisms involved benefit from the interaction. This mutually beneficial relationship can take different forms, such as mutualism where both organisms benefit, commensalism where one organism benefits and the other is unaffected, or parasitism where one organism benefits at the expense of the other. In this case, the term "symbiotic relationship" specifically refers to a scenario where both organisms derive some form of benefit from their interaction.

6. Two objects with equal masses collide head-on, both initially moving at the same speed. After the collision, they stick together. What is their final velocity?

• A. Zero
• B. Half their initial velocity
• C. Their initial velocity
• D. Twice their initial velocity

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In an inelastic collision like this, kinetic energy is not conserved, but momentum is. Since the total momentum before the collision was zero (equal and opposite velocities), it must be zero after the collision as well, resulting in both objects stopping.
