1. You need to fill a rectangular swimming pool with dimensions 10 meters by 5 meters and a depth of 2 meters. How many cubic meters of water does it take to fill the pool?

• A. 50 cu m
• B. 100 cu m
• C. 150 cu m
• D. 200 cu m

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Simply multiply the pool's dimensions to find its volume.

2. What is the formula for calculating density?

• A. Density = Volume / Mass
• B. Density = Mass × Volume
• C. Density = Mass / Volume
• D. Density = Volume - Mass

Correct answer: c

Rationale: Density is defined as the mass of a substance divided by its volume. The formula for density is Density = Mass / Volume.

3. How does the structure of centromeres contribute to chromosome movement during mitosis?

• A. The centromere provides a binding site for spindle fibers, allowing chromosomes to be attached and manipulated.
• B. The centromere serves as a dividing point between sister chromatids, ensuring their separation during anaphase.
• C. The centromere maintains chromosome stability by preventing chromosomal breaks and rearrangements.
• D. The centromere plays a role in DNA replication, ensuring accurate copying of the genetic material.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Rationale: A) The centromere provides a binding site for spindle fibers, which are microtubules that help move chromosomes during cell division. This attachment allows the chromosomes to be pulled towards opposite poles of the cell during mitosis. Therefore, the structure of centromeres directly contributes to chromosome movement during mitosis by facilitating the attachment and manipulation of chromosomes by the spindle fibers. B) While the centromere does serve as a dividing point between sister chromatids, ensuring their separation during anaphase, this function is more related to the segregation of chromosomes rather than their movement. C) The centromere does play a role in maintaining chromosome stability by ensuring proper chromosome segregation, but it is not primarily responsible for preventing chromosomal breaks and rearrangements. D) The centromere is not directly involved in DNA replication. Its main function is

4. What does the term "net force" refer to in physics?

• A. Total force acting on an object
• B. Force due to gravity
• C. Force in motion
• D. Force of friction

Correct answer: a

Rationale: Net force is the vector sum of all forces acting on an object.

5. What property of matter refers to the amount of space occupied by an object and is measured in cubic units?

• A. Mass
• B. Density
• C. Weight
• D. Volume

Correct answer: d

Rationale: Volume is the property that refers to the amount of space occupied by an object and is measured in cubic units such as cubic meters or cubic centimeters.

6. An IV drip delivers medication at a rate of 40 drops per minute. Each drop contains 0.05 milliliters of the medication. How many milliliters of medication are delivered in one hour?

• A. 12 milliliters
• B. 24 milliliters
• C. 60 milliliters
• D. 120 milliliters

Correct answer: B

Rationale: First convert minutes to hours (1 hour * 60 minutes). Then, multiply the number of drops per minute (40 drops/minute) by the volume per drop (0.05 ml/drop) and by the conversion factor (60 minutes/hour) to find the total volume delivered: 40 drops/minute * 0.05 ml/drop * 60 minutes/hour = 24 milliliters.
