1. You need to repaint a cylindrical water tank with a diameter of 2 meters and a height of 3 meters. Assuming one can of paint covers 10 sq m, how many cans do you need (consider only the exterior surface)?

• A. 6 cans
• B. 9 cans
• C. 12 cans
• D. 15 cans

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Calculate the surface area of the cylinder and divide by the coverage area per can.

2. When making a dilution, you...

• A. Add more solute to a concentrated solution
• B. Change the temperature of the solution
• C. Decrease the concentration of a solution
• D. All of the above

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'Decrease the concentration of a solution.' When making a dilution, you decrease the concentration of a solution by adding more solvent, not solute. Adding more solute to a concentrated solution would increase the concentration, not dilute it. Changing the temperature of the solution does not directly relate to dilution. Therefore, the only correct statement related to the process of making a dilution is that you decrease the concentration of the solution by adding more solvent, making option C the correct answer.

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. A children's toy consists of a half cylinder (diameter 10cm, height 8cm) attached to a cube with side lengths of 5cm. What is the total volume of the toy?

• A. 125 cu cm
• B. 200 cu cm
• C. 275 cu cm
• D. 350 cu cm

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Calculate the volume of the half cylinder and the cube separately, then add them up.

5. What phenomenon occurs when a wave encounters a change in medium causing a change in its speed and direction?

• A. Refraction
• B. Reflection
• C. Diffraction
• D. Interference

Correct answer: a

Rationale: Refraction happens when a wave changes its speed and direction due to encountering a change in medium.

6. What is the name of the condition characterized by swelling caused by a buildup of lymph fluid?

• A. Anemia
• B. Edema
• C. Hypertension
• D. Diabetes

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Edema. Edema is the condition characterized by swelling caused by a buildup of lymph fluid in the body's tissues. Anemia (A) is a condition characterized by a lack of healthy red blood cells, not swelling. Hypertension (C) is high blood pressure, which does not directly cause swelling. Diabetes (D) is a metabolic disorder affecting blood sugar levels and does not directly lead to lymph fluid buildup and swelling.
