1. What is the name of the structure that packages DNA in eukaryotic cells?

• A. Nucleosome
• B. Chromatin
• C. Histone
• D. Centromere

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Rationale: - A nucleosome is the basic structural unit of DNA packaging in eukaryotic cells. It consists of DNA wrapped around a core of histone proteins. - Chromatin refers to the complex of DNA and proteins found in the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell, including nucleosomes. - Histones are the proteins around which DNA is wrapped to form nucleosomes. - Centromere is a region of a chromosome where the two sister chromatids are joined and to which spindle fibers attach during cell division.

2. Identify the relative clause in the sentence "The book that won the award was a bestseller."

• A. "The book"
• B. "that won the award"
• C. "was a bestseller"
• D. "award"

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The relative clause "that won the award" provides additional information about the specific book.

3. Which force causes an object to move in a circular path?

• A. Tension force
• B. Frictional force
• C. Centripetal force
• D. Gravitational force

Correct answer: c

Rationale: Centripetal force is the force that acts towards the center of a circular path, keeping an object in circular motion.

4. Which property of a wave determines its pitch in sound waves?

• A. Amplitude
• B. Frequency
• C. Wavelength
• D. Speed

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The pitch of a sound wave is determined by its frequency. Frequency refers to the number of cycles of a wave that occur in a unit of time, usually measured in hertz (Hz). Higher frequencies correspond to higher pitches, while lower frequencies correspond to lower pitches. Amplitude refers to the height of a wave and is related to the loudness of the sound. Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive points in a wave that are in phase, and speed is the rate at which a wave travels through a medium.

5. The measurable electrical activity of the brain is recorded by a:

• A. CAT scan
• B. MRI scan
• C. Electroencephalogram (EEG)
• D. X-ray

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: "Electroencephalogram (EEG)". An EEG is a non-invasive test that measures the electrical activity of the brain by placing electrodes on the scalp. It is specifically designed to record brain wave patterns, making it a valuable tool in diagnosing conditions such as epilepsy, sleep disorders, and brain injuries. A CAT scan (A) and MRI scan (B) are imaging techniques that show the structure of the brain, while an X-ray (D) is not typically used to measure brain electrical activity.

6. What is the term for a hydrocarbon chain with no double or triple bonds between carbon atoms?

• A. Saturated
• B. Unsaturated
• C. Aromatic
• D. Alkene

Correct answer: A

Rationale: A saturated hydrocarbon chain has only single bonds between carbon atoms. The other choices are associated with unsaturation or aromaticity.
