10 .        Species found in Australia tend to be very different than the general population at large.  The best explanation is:

            a . the "upside-down" gravity causes mutations in their genes

            b . due to their odd bipedal locomotion, the constant jarring of a male kangaroos "naughty-bits" causes mutations to occur in the gonads.

            c . Mel Gibson.

            d . it's, like, well, you know, sorta, like, well, just cuz (do you know what I mean?).

            e . populations of species have been physically separated from the larger global gene pool.

 

11 .        The second law of thermodynamics states that as entropy increases, free energy

            a . remains constant.

            b . *correct*decreases.

            c . depends on the chemical reaction involved.

            d . varies inversely with the absolute temperature.

            e . is released as heat energy.

 

12 .        With respect to ATP, the term `high energy bond' refers to

 

            a . only one of the bonds present in the molecule.

            b . three of the bonds present in the molecule.

            c . the bond energies of two of the bonds present in the molecule. 

            d . *correct*the amount of free energy available when the bond is broken.

            e . the ribose sugar part of the molecule.

 

13 .             Proteins are to ribosomes as ATP is to the

 

            a . chromosomes.

            c . *correct*transfer electrons to atoms of oxygen.

            d . convert oxaloacetic acid to citric acid.

            e . dissolve NADH and H+.

 

15 .        The advantage of aerobic respiration to an animal is that it

 

            a . *correct*obtains more usable energy by aerobic respiration.

            b . must always use aerobic respiration for  movement.

            c . must always use anaerobic respiration for movement.

            d . cannot release energy from food by anaerobic respiration.

            e . cannot obtain more usable energy from food by aerobic  respiration.

 

16 .        If the base sequence in DNA is AATCGG, what is the sequence of the complementary chain?

            a . transcription.

            b . transpiration.

            c . t*correct*ranslation.

            d . replication.

            e . translocation.

            d . part of a strand of DNA.

            e . *correct*messenger RNA.

 

19 .        A farmer bought a bull that was said to be homozygous hornless.  To be sure that this statement was true, he performed a test cross between the bull and a horned cow. If the bull were indeed homozygous hornless, the offspring from the testcross would be

 

            a .         in a ratio of 3 horned to 1 hornless
