- Q1
Which of the following would be an example of an organism modified by genetic engineering?
Pugs with a small body and flat face were bred together to make characteristics that were more desired by humans.
Legumes, like peas and beans, have nitrogen-fixing bacteria on their roots, which helps increase soil nitrogen.
Golden rice is produced by inserting the gene for vitamin A production into a common rice strain.
Cows that produce large amounts of milk and have high fertility were selected to breed over cows that do not to create modern dairy cows.
30s - Q2
The AquAdvantage salmon is a genetically engineered species of fish; the genes that regulate the release of the growth hormone have been altered in this species. This enables the salmon to grow faster and to grow all year round? What is the advantage of this?
This species of salmon requires less nutrition, so it puts less strain on the ecosystem.
This species of salmon can be bred with other species to create better-adapted fish.
Altered salmon does not provide additional benefits to their reproduction.
This species of salmon may provide a higher quantity of food faster and establish dominance in its native ecosystem.
30s - Q3
Which would you choose if you were to buy something for lunch from a local grocery store in your area?
A deformed juicy watermelon of Mang Ramon
A corn harvested by Mang Raul that easily dried few days
A strawberry harvested by MangIsko that is tastier than any other strawberries
A plump tomatoes of Mang Emil but have little holes
30s - Q4
If to use the Venn Diagram, how will you determine the difference between GMO to Non-GMO?
In GMO, Scientists can find a single specific trait and insert it into the DNA while in Non-GMO the life cycle and growth of plant is equivalent
The GMO has desired traits can be quickly identified while Non-GMO has desired traits that can be identified and perpetuated.
The safety and nutrition of plant is equal while in GMO while the Non-GMO has desired traits that can be perpetuated individually.
A GMO plants can become genetically resistant to disease and pests while in Non-GMO, the pests are controlled with chemicals or other cultivation practice.
30s - Q5
Which of the following benefits of Genetic Engineering you will consider if you want to produce a higher number of GMO products?
Less use of pesticides to crops
More nutritious and tastier food
Increased supply of food with reduced cost and longer shelf life
Foods with more desirable traits like less cancer-causing substance
30s - Q6
Which of the following statements about muscles and the muscular system is true?
types of muscle tissue are skeletal, smooth muscle and involuntary muscle.
All muscle action is voluntary, or able to be consciously controlled.
Muscles always work independently to move parts of the body
Smooth muscle moves food through the digestive system

Ask your brother to do gentle exercise and pain free movement
Ask your brother to put ice on the sprained muscle immediately with a cold compress
Ask your brother to try to stretch the hurt area or walk on it immediately
Ask your brother to elevate the injured part

The chemical process in which oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged between the outside air and the cells are called _______.
Respiration
Breathing
Exhaling
Inhaling
30s - Q9
Covid is very much a threat to life and the government is actively pursuing immunity for the general populace. Some of your friends are hesitant about getting vaccinated and that they heard about certain untoward reactions from the vaccine and said some even died from getting the vaccine. What can you say that will help them understand the immune system and vaccination?
Discuss to them that the COVID vaccine is fully safe, that it’s just a regular foreign antigen from any virus that our immune system regularly monitors and defend against, that being exposed to a disease-causing SARS CoV2 antigen will prevent us from having COVID at all.
Discuss to them that the COVID vaccine is fully safe, that it’s just a regular foreign antigen from any virus that our immune system regularly monitors and defend against, that being exposed to a non-disease-causing SARS CoV2 antigen will prevent us from having COVID at all.
Discuss to them that the COVID vaccine is fairly safe, that it’s just like a regular foreign antigen that our immune system regularly monitors and defend against, that being exposed to a non-disease-causing SARS CoV2 antigen will teach our immune system to make antibodies that will defend against the COVID virus
Discuss to them that the COVID vaccine is somewhat safe, that it’s just like a regular foreign antigen that our immune system regularly monitors and defend against, that being exposed to a disease-causing antigen of SARS CoV2 will teach our immune system to defend against the real full-blown antigen of any virus.
30s - Q10
Juan was asked by his little brother Marco about his heart always beating fast when he runs and causes him to breath more frequently and harder. What would be Marcos’ best reply to Juan?
The heart beats faster so that it can push more O2 rich blood towards the cells of the body. The Lungs ventilates faster so that the lungs can get oxygen faster and expel the CO2 at the same time.
The heart beats faster so that it can push more CO2 rich blood towards the cells of the body. The Lungs ventilates faster so that the lungs can get CO2 faster and expel the O2 at the same time.
The heart beats faster so that it can circulate more blood that contains CO2 and O2 from all the metabolic waste generated by your muscle cells so that the lungs can exhale them faster.
The heart beats faster so that it can push more CO2 rich blood generated by your muscle cells towards the lungs that ventilate faster so that the lungs can expel the CO2 faster and get O2 at the same time.
