1. What is the difference between a homozygous recessive genotype and a homozygous dominant genotype?

• A. Both have the same phenotype, but different genotypes.
• B. Both have the same genotype, but different phenotypes.
• C. Homozygous recessive has two dominant alleles, while homozygous dominant has two recessive alleles.
• D. Homozygous recessive has two identical recessive alleles, while homozygous dominant has two identical dominant alleles.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Rationale: - Homozygous recessive genotype refers to an individual having two identical recessive alleles for a particular gene (e.g., rr for a trait where r represents the recessive allele). - Homozygous dominant genotype refers to an individual having two identical dominant alleles for a particular gene (e.g., RR for a trait where R represents the dominant allele). - The difference between the two genotypes lies in the specific alleles present in each case, with homozygous recessive having two recessive alleles and homozygous dominant having two dominant alleles. - This genetic difference results in different phenotypes being expressed, as the dominant allele typically masks the expression of the recessive allele in heterozygous individuals.

2. T cells in the immune system can be categorized into different types. What type of T cell directly kills infected body cells?

• A. Helper T cells
• B. Cytotoxic T cells
• C. Regulatory T cells
• D. Memory T cells

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Cytotoxic T cells directly kill infected body cells. These T cells recognize and destroy cells that are infected with viruses or other pathogens. They are crucial for eliminating threats within the body. Helper T cells, on the other hand, assist in coordinating the immune response by activating other immune cells. Regulatory T cells help maintain immune tolerance and prevent autoimmune reactions. Memory T cells are responsible for 'remembering' specific pathogens to mount a faster and stronger immune response upon re-exposure. Therefore, cytotoxic T cells are the correct answer as they directly target and kill infected cells.

3. The final sentence suggests that public discourse about AI should focus on

• A. Celebrating the achievements of AI and promoting its widespread adoption in all sectors.
• B. Criticizing the ethical shortcomings of existing AI systems and demanding stricter regulations.
• C. Engaging in open and informed discussions about the potential benefits, risks, and responsible development of AI.
• D. Focusing solely on the technical challenges of AI development and leaving ethical considerations to experts.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The emphasis on "ongoing public discourse" and "the future of AI in society" suggests a call for open discussions and collective responsibility, aligning with C.

4. The phrase "think outside the box" encourages readers to:

• A. Follow established procedures.
• B. Be creative and find new solutions.
• C. Accept traditional ideas.
• D. Avoid making mistakes.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The phrase emphasizes unconventional thinking and exploring new approaches.

5. When making a dilution, you...

• A. Add more solute to a concentrated solution
• B. Change the temperature of the solution
• C. Decrease the concentration of a solution
• D. All of the above

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'Decrease the concentration of a solution.' When making a dilution, you decrease the concentration of a solution by adding more solvent, not solute. Adding more solute to a concentrated solution would increase the concentration, not dilute it. Changing the temperature of the solution does not directly relate to dilution. Therefore, the only correct statement related to the process of making a dilution is that you decrease the concentration of the solution by adding more solvent, making option C the correct answer.

6. What property of a substance remains constant regardless of the amount of the substance present?

• A. Mass
• B. Weight
• C. Density
• D. Volume

Correct answer: c

Rationale: Density remains constant for a specific substance regardless of the quantity present. It's the mass per unit volume and remains the same for a substance.
