One of the earliest developments in the field of recombinant DNA technology is the production of insulin used in the treatment of diabetes. Outline the production process of human insulin by genetic engineering method by arranging these steps in correct order.
I. Human insulin-producing gene is inserted into the bacterial plasmid vector to form the recombinant DNA of human insulin-producing gene.
II. A plasmid DNA is extracted from a bacterium and cut with restriction enzyme, forming plasmid vector.
III. Introduce this recombinant DNA into a bacterial cell to form the recombinant bacterium.
IV. The recombinant bacteria multiply in a fermentation tank and produce human insulin. Insulin is extracted, purified and bottled. It is then ready to be injected into diabetic patients.
V. Human insulin is extracted from pancreas cells and an insulin-producing gene is isolated.

Living cells follow a specific hierarchy of command in directing the traits of the individual. What will happen to the new individual cell as a new engineered DNA was introduced to it?
It will function according to the new set of codes from the DNA.
It will have a different shape to adjust to the new code.
It will try to mimic its environment in order to survive.
It will be destroyed as a new load of information is unhealthy.

How will you describe the Geologic Time Scale?
It sectioned the history of the earth based on non-living things that have existed during specific times since the creation of the planet.
It sums up the history of the earth based on life-forms that have existed during specific times since the creation of the solar system.
It divides up the history of the earth based on spheres of the Earth where life-forms have existed during specific times since the creation of the planet.
It divides up the history of the earth based on life-forms that have existed during specific times since the creation of the planet.
120sSTEM_BIO11/12-IIIc-g-8 - Q8
In the history of life on Earth, how will you describe the earliest life-forms that had existed?
They are simple organisms that later evolve to more complex organisms.
They are simple organisms that thrive with the minimal necessary to
survive.
They require minimal metabolic processes, but they are also complex
organisms.
They are very adaptive and complex.

Geologic time is a tool used by geologists to determine the history of the earth. It is the standard timeline that describes the age of rocks and fossils that are formed on the Earth's surface. When rock sand geologic events are described chronologically without emphasizing the actual dates, what time of geologic time is obtained?
Relative Geologic Time
Geologic Formation Time
Absolute numerical geologic time
Correlation Geologic Time

Green salagubang are easily spotted by birds that may feed on them. Since salagubang usually lives on logs and warm dark areas or part of a tree, over the course of time those with green colors became scarce after being easily eaten by prey such as birds. The surviving brown salagubang passed on their genes to their offspring which is why most of the salagubang that you see around are brown or dark-colored. Which of the following mechanism is shown in this scenario?
Generic Drift
Mutation
Natural Selection
Random Mating
300sSTEM_BIO11/12-IIIc-g-9 - Q11
When male lions reach sexual maturity, they leave their group and migrate in search of a new pride. This can alter the allele frequencies of the population through which of the following mechanisms?
genetic drift
natural selection
gene flow
random mating
120sSTEM_BIO11/12-IIIc-g-9 - Q12
How will you differentiate artificial selection from natural selection?
Artificial selection happens in laboratories while natural selection happens in nature.
Both statements are true
Both statements are not true
Artificial selection is manipulated by humans and natural selection is dictated by the environment of the organisms.

One of his main studied specimens are the birdwing butterflies which helped him to also theorized on the divergence of species from a single original species, he reasoned that struggle for existence of the organisms lead to such process.
Jean Baptiste Lamarck
Charles Darwin
Alfred Russel Wallace
Albert Einstein
300sSTEM_BIO11/12-IIIc-g-10 - Q14
Explain how patterns of descent with modification from common ancestors produce the organismal diversity of the present.
Old organisms habitually use their organs and traits until it became dominant to suit their needs.
All of the above
Old species with favorable traits suited in their environment will pass on the said trait to their offspring, this process will continue until such time that an organism with specialized trait arrived, giving way to a new different species.
Disuse of some part of the genes of an organism lead to mutation which in turn will be passed on to its offspring
120sSTEM_BIO11/12-IIIc-g-11 - Q15
Which among the following best explain the fossil records as an evidence of evolution?
Fossils suggest that the Earth is not the same as it is today, for instance there were once a massive interconnected land termed as Pangaea.
Fossils recorded the history of life on Earth and indicates that ancient life forms were different from modern day species.
Recorded events from the past indicates that the Earth was once filled with water.
Recorded activities of animals from prehistoric times suggest that people came from monkeys.
