1. What is the formula for calculating molarity?

• A. M = n/V
• B. M = n/L
• C. M = mol/L
• D. M = mol/dm³

Correct answer: a

Rationale: All of these choices are equivalent to the original formula. The symbol "n" represents the number of moles of solute, and the symbol "V" represents the volume of the solution in liters. The symbol "L" is an abbreviation for "liters," and "dm³" is an alternative way to represent liters.

2. Which muscular pouch in the upper left abdomen stores food after swallowing and begins mechanical and chemical digestion?

• A. Esophagus
• B. Stomach
• C. Small intestine
• D. Large intestine

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Stomach. The stomach is the muscular pouch in the upper left abdomen that stores food after swallowing. It is responsible for beginning both mechanical and chemical digestion processes. Once food enters the stomach, it is mixed with gastric juices and enzymes that break down the food into smaller particles. The stomach also contracts and relaxes to further mix the food with digestive juices. The esophagus is a tube that connects the throat to the stomach and does not store food or participate in digestion. The small intestine and large intestine are parts of the digestive system, but they are not muscular pouches in the upper left abdomen responsible for storing and digesting food.

3. What type of inheritance pattern results in a 3:1 ratio of dominant to recessive phenotypes in the F2 generation?

• A. Incomplete dominance
• B. Codominance
• C. Sex-linked inheritance
• D. Autosomal dominant inheritance

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Rationale: A) Incomplete dominance: In incomplete dominance, the heterozygous phenotype is a blend of the two homozygous phenotypes. This does not result in a 3:1 ratio of dominant to recessive phenotypes in the F2 generation. B) Codominance: In codominance, both alleles are fully expressed in the heterozygous phenotype. This also does not result in a 3:1 ratio of dominant to recessive phenotypes in the F2 generation. C) Sex-linked inheritance: Sex-linked inheritance involves genes located on the sex chromosomes and does not typically result in a 3:1 ratio of dominant to recessive phenotypes in the F2 generation. D) Autosomal dominant inheritance: In autosomal dominant inheritance, a single copy of the dominant allele is sufficient to express the dominant phenotype. When a heterozygous individual (Aa) is crossed with another

4. Julius plans to revisit the organizational chart of the department. He plans to create a new

• A. Box
• B. Solid line
• C. Broken line
• D. Dotted line

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Solid line.' In organizational charts, solid lines typically represent formal reporting relationships, indicating direct authority and responsibility between positions. Creating a new solid line on the chart would signify a new formal reporting relationship within the department. This can be important for clarifying roles, communication channels, and decision-making processes. Boxes represent positions or roles in the organizational structure, while broken lines and dotted lines are typically used for informal relationships or advisory roles, rather than formal reporting relationships.

5. What is the scientific term for a broken bone?

• A. Osteoporosis
• B. Fracture
• C. Sprain
• D. Dislocation

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Fracture.' A fracture is the scientific term used to describe a broken bone. Osteoporosis (A) is a condition where bones become weak and brittle, increasing the risk of fractures. A sprain (C) is an injury to a ligament, not a bone. A dislocation (D) occurs when the bones in a joint are forced out of their normal position, but it is not the term for a broken bone.

6. A car accelerates from rest. What happens to its kinetic energy and work done on it?

• A. Both kinetic energy and work done increase
• B. Kinetic energy increases, but work done remains constant.
• C. Work done increases, but kinetic energy remains constant.
• D. Both kinetic energy and work done remain constant.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: During acceleration, the car's speed increases, leading to rising kinetic energy. Simultaneously, the force applied to accelerate the car does work on it, increasing the work done.
