1. What are the key differences between cytokinesis in plant and animal cells?

• A. Animal cells utilize an actomyosin ring for cleavage furrow formation, while plant cells lack this mechanism.
• B. Plant cells rely on the assembly of a cell plate in the center of the dividing cell, ultimately separating the cytoplasm.
• C. Cytokinesis in both plant and animal cells is driven by the expansion of the endoplasmic reticulum.
• D. Both types of cells achieve cytokinesis through similar membrane pinching and constriction mechanisms.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: A) Animal cells utilize an actomyosin ring for cleavage furrow formation, while plant cells lack this mechanism. - This statement is true. Animal cells use an actomyosin ring to form a cleavage furrow during cytokinesis, while plant cells do not have this mechanism. Instead, plant cells form a cell plate. B) Plant cells rely on the assembly of a cell plate in the center of the dividing cell, ultimately separating the cytoplasm. - This statement is correct. Plant cells form a cell plate in the middle of the dividing cell during cytokinesis. The cell plate eventually develops into a new cell wall that separates the two daughter cells. C) Cytokinesis in both plant and animal cells is driven by the expansion of the endoplasmic reticulum. - This

2. What is the term for a group of organisms with the same genetic makeup?

• A. Population
• B. Clone
• C. Genotype
• D. Species

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: - A population (option A) refers to a group of individuals of the same species living in the same area. - Genotype (option C) refers to the genetic makeup of an individual organism. - Species (option D) refers to a group of organisms that can interbreed and produce fertile offspring. In this context, a clone (option B) is a group of organisms that are genetically identical because they are derived from a single ancestor. This term specifically refers to organisms with the same genetic makeup, making it the most appropriate choice for the question.

3. Inhalation

• A. Expiration
• B. Respiration
• C. Aspiration
• D. Aspiration

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Respiration.' Inhalation refers to the process of breathing in air, while respiration is the overall process of gas exchange in the body, including both inhalation and exhalation. Expiration refers specifically to the process of breathing out air. Aspiration, on the other hand, refers to the act of inhaling foreign objects into the lungs, which can be harmful. Therefore, 'Respiration' is the most appropriate term related to 'Inhalation' as it encompasses the entire process of breathing and gas exchange in the body.

4. According to Newton's third law of motion, if you push against a wall with a certain force, the wall will push back with:

• A. A smaller force
• B. An equal force
• C. A greater force
• D. No force at all

Correct answer: b

Rationale: Newton's third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

5. What figure of speech is used in the statement "His words were a dagger to my heart"?

• A. Metonymy
• B. Simile
• C. Metaphor (Correct)
• D. Hyperbole

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The statement compares the pain of his words to a physical object, forming a metaphor.

6. Identify the adverb in the following sentence: The patient waited anxiously for the doctor's news.

• A. waited
• B. anxiously
• C. doctor's
• D. news

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. In this sentence, "anxiously" describes how the patient "waited".
