1. During which phase of the cell cycle does cytokinesis typically occur?

• A. Interphase
• B. Mitosis
• C. Meiosis
• D. G2 phase

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: Cytokinesis is the process of dividing the cytoplasm of a cell into two daughter cells after the nucleus has divided during mitosis. In the cell cycle, cytokinesis typically occurs at the end of the mitotic phase, following the separation of the duplicated chromosomes into two identical sets in the daughter nuclei. Interphase (option A) is the phase where the cell grows, carries out its normal functions, and prepares for cell division. Meiosis (option C) is a specialized type of cell division that occurs in sexually reproducing organisms to produce gametes. G2 phase (option D) is the phase of the cell cycle following DNA replication in S phase and preceding mitosis, where the cell prepares for cell division.

2. Which of the following factors would NOT affect the solubility of a solid solute in a liquid solvent?

• A. Temperature
• B. Pressure
• C. Particle size
• D. Nature of the solute and solvent

Correct answer: b

Rationale: Pressure does not significantly affect the solubility of solid solutes in liquid solvents. The other choices are factors that can influence solubility.

3. Which statement BEST summarizes the author's perspective on bioremediation for plastic pollution?

• A. It is the only viable solution to the problem and should be prioritized.
• B. It is a promising approach but requires further research and development.
• C. It is less effective than traditional methods and poses environmental risks.
• D. It is irrelevant to the problem and will not make a significant impact.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The passage acknowledges the potential of bioremediation while highlighting the need for further research, indicating a balanced perspective.

4. Define "friction" in terms of opposing motion.

• A. A force that increases motion
• B. A force that accelerates motion
• C. A force that opposes motion
• D. A force that creates motion

Correct answer: c

Rationale: Friction acts opposite to the direction of motion, resisting or slowing down the movement of objects.

5. In a covalent bond, the shared electrons:

• A. Are completely transferred to one atom.
• B. Spend more time closer to the more electronegative atom.
• C. Remain equidistant between the two atoms.
• D. Do not influence the bond strength.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Spend more time closer to the more electronegative atom. Electronegativity determines the "pull" on shared electrons, with the more electronegative atom attracting them for a larger portion of the time, creating a partial negative charge near its nucleus.

6. After discussing the possible effects of the low patient satisfaction rate, the staff started to list

• A. Collaboration
• B. Majority rule
• C. Dominance
• D. Compromise

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Majority rule.' In this scenario, the staff is likely listing potential solutions or actions based on the opinion or agreement of the majority. Collaboration (A) involves working together towards a common goal, while Dominance (C) implies one person or group having control. Compromise (D) suggests finding a middle ground between different viewpoints. Majority rule best fits the situation where a decision or list of actions is being determined by what most people agree on, which is a common approach in group decision-making processes.
