The evidence says that every child in a certain family has been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). All of these children have genetic commonalities. Therefore, ASD may be genetic.
The evidence does not mention whether the children died from ASD. Therefore, no conclusion can be drawn that ASD may be lethal. Furthermore, the sample size of the evidence is much too small to suggest that ASD is related to traditional nuclear family structures.
Therefore, the Correct Answer is B.
Which of the following molecules exhibits ionic bonding?
A. NaCl
B. CO2
C. C6H12O6
D. H2O
The Correct Answer is A.Sodium chloride exhibits lonic bonding due to the attraction between Na+ ions and Cl- ions.
Typically, elements on the opposite sides of the periodic table (a metal and a nonmetal) form ionic bonds. Carbon dioxide, water, and glucose exhibit covalent bonding. Typically, elements on the same side of the periodic table (two or more nonmetals) form covalent bonds.
When animals eat, insulin is released from the pancreas, stimulating glucose uptake by the liver. When glucose levels drop, the pancreas reduces insulin release. This is an example of which mechanism for maintaining homeostasis?
A. Negative feedback
B. Positive feedback
C. Stress response
D. Parasympathetic regulation
The Correct Answer is A.Maintaining homeostasis means that conditions are kept stable and relatively constant. Negative feedback is a mechanism used to reverse or minimize changes in a system. In this example, negative feedback is used to keep the body's glucose and insulin levels stable. Positive feedback (B) is a mechanism that Increases changes in a system. A stress response (C) describes the body's reaction to threats or pressures. Parasympathetic regulation (D) refers to activities of the nervous system, including slowing the heart rate and boosting Intestinal activity.
What is the name for the physical presentation of an organism's genes?
A. Phenotype
B. Species
C. Phylum
D. Genotype
The Correct Answer is A.Phenotype is the physical presentation of an organism's genes. In other words, the phenotype is the physical characteristics of the organism. Phenotype is often contrasted with genotype, the genetic makeup of an organism. The genotype of the organism is not visible in its presentation, although some of the characteristics encoded in the genes have to do with physical presentation. A phylum is a group of classes that are closely related. A species is a group of like organisms that are capable of breeding together and producing similar offspring.
Where is the gastrocnemius vein in relation to the femoral vein?
A. Lateral
B. Distal
C. Superior
D. Ventral
The Correct Answer is B.The gastrocnemius vein is found in the calf. The femoral vein is found in the proximal anterior thighs/pelvis.
Since the gastrocnemius vein is found below the femoral vein it is distal or inferior to the femoral vessel.
What type of mutation is represented by the following sequence?
Original: 123456
Mutated: 154326
A. Breakage
B. Deletion
C. Insertion
D. Inversion
The Correct Answer is D.An inversion mutation is represented in the sequence 1 5 4 3 2 6. An inversion error is a type of mutation where an entire sequence of DNA is reversed. In this case, 2 3 4 5 has been reversed to 5 4 3 2.
Breakage, choice A, in a gene can mess up its function entirely or lead to a translocation of genetic information. Choice B, deletion, is when a section of DNA is omitted or lost.
Choice C, Insertion, is when an extra base pair is added to a DNA sequence. Deletions and insertions can lead to a frameshift effect where entire sequences are thrown off because one nucleotide is wrong.
This could result in coding for the wrong amino acid and non-functioning proteins.
Which of the following are examples of homeostatic mechanisms?
A. Increasing heart rate when blood pressure is low, Consuming excess calories to gain weight
B. Lifting weights to increase muscle mass
C. Shivering when the body temperature falls
D. Shivering when the body temperature falls, Secreting insulin to decrease blood sugar concentration, Increasing heart rate when blood pressure is low
The Correct Answer is D.Homeostatic mechanisms are involuntary actions by organs, glands, tissues and cells to maintain balance within the body. For example, if a person becomes dehydrated, the kidneys will retain fluid by decreasing urine output.
Consuming excess calories and lifting weights are not involuntary actions, nor do they maintain the body in its baseline state. Rather, they are actions specifically taken to move the body away from its baseline.
Which of these does NOT match the nitrogenous base to the nucleobase?
A. Purine: Adenine
B. Purine: Thymine
C. Pyrimidine: Uracil
D. Pyrimidine: Cytosine
The Correct Answer is B.There are two types of nitrogenous bases: purine and pyrimidine bases. Purine bases have two rings in their structure and consist of adenine and guanine. Pyrimidine bases only have one ring in their structure and consist of thymine and cytosine (DNA) and uracil and cytosine (RNA). Therefore, the correct answer is B since thymine is a pyrimidine.
A patient lying flat on their back is in which of the following positions?
A. Prone
B. Supine
C. Lateral
D. Medial
The Correct Answer is B.Which of the following is NOT provided as a result of the valid research and observations recorded by scientists?
A. A better understanding of the physical world
B. The ability to predict possible outcomes affected by actions
C. The ability to prevent earthquakes and other natural disasters
D. The creation of various substances and technologies that enhance our world
The Correct Answer is C.Scientists make observations, gather data, and complete research over many years in order to compile knowledge that will provide insight into future disasters, such as earthquakes, storms, and global warming. Although science can be used to predict earthquakes and other natural disasters, there is currently no way of preventing them from occurring.
Which of the following is exchanged between two or more atoms that undergo ionic bonding?
A. Neutrons
B. Transitory electrons
C. Valence electrons
D. Electrical charges
The Correct Answer is C.An ionic bond forms when one atom donates an electron from its outer shell, called a valence electron, to another atom to form two oppositely charged atoms.
