1. What is the meaning of the phrase "to be on the same page"?

• A. To be physically close
• B. To agree or understand each other
• C. To be sharing the same goal
• D. To be facing the same direction

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The phrase means to be in agreement or share the same understanding.

2. Which property of a substance refers to its ability to be stretched into thin wires?

• A. Conductivity
• B. Viscosity
• C. Ductility
• D. Malleability

Correct answer: c

Rationale: Ductility refers to a substance's ability to be stretched into thin wires without breaking.

3. Which property describes a substance's resistance to flow?

• A. Density
• B. Viscosity
• C. Conductivity
• D. Reactivity

Correct answer: b

Rationale: Viscosity refers to a substance's resistance to flow. Substances with high viscosity flow slowly, while those with low viscosity flow more easily.

4. The muscular chamber of the heart that receives blood from the body and pumps it to the lungs is the:

• A. Right atrium
• B. Left atrium
• C. Right ventricle
• D. Left ventricle

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Right ventricle. The right ventricle receives deoxygenated blood from the body and pumps it to the lungs for oxygenation. The right atrium receives deoxygenated blood from the body and passes it to the right ventricle. The left atrium receives oxygenated blood from the lungs and passes it to the left ventricle. The left ventricle then pumps oxygenated blood to the rest of the body. Understanding the flow of blood through the heart chambers is essential for grasping the functions of each chamber in the circulatory system.

5. What is the importance of RNA splicing?

• A. Removes introns from the mRNA molecule
• B. Adds the poly-A tail to the mRNA molecule
• C. Activates the mRNA molecule for translation
• D. Modifies the structure of the protein

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Rationale: A) RNA splicing is a crucial process in gene expression where non-coding regions called introns are removed from the pre-mRNA molecule, and the remaining coding regions called exons are joined together to form the mature mRNA molecule. This process ensures that only the protein-coding sequences are retained in the mRNA for translation, allowing for the production of functional proteins. Therefore, option A is the correct answer as it accurately describes the importance of RNA splicing in generating mature mRNA molecules for protein synthesis. B) Adding the poly-A tail to the mRNA molecule is a post-transcriptional modification that occurs after RNA splicing and is not directly related to the process of removing introns. C) Activating the mRNA molecule for translation is typically achieved through the addition of a 5' cap and the poly-A tail, rather than through RNA splicing. D) Modifying the structure of the protein is not directly

6. A symbiotic relationship where one organism benefits and the other is not harmed is called:

• A. Mutualism
• B. Commensalism
• C. Parasitism
• D. Predation

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: A) Mutualism: In mutualism, both organisms involved benefit from the relationship. B) Commensalism: In commensalism, one organism benefits while the other is neither helped nor harmed. This is the relationship described in the question. C) Parasitism: In parasitism, one organism benefits at the expense of the other organism, which is harmed. D) Predation: In predation, one organism (predator) kills and consumes another organism (prey) for food.
