- Q1
A photograph of a litter of six-week-old bulldog puppies shows that the puppies are not identical.
Even though these puppies have the same parents, they do not all look alike because —
some of the puppies have genetic material from only one of the parents
each puppy has a different combination of genetic material as a result of sexual reproduction
all the puppies developed from the same fertilized egg
they were produced by asexual cloning

Sodium and lithium have similar chemical properties. What characteristic of these elements explains why they are chemically similar?
Their atoms have the same number of energy levels.
Their atoms both have more neutrons than protons.
Their atoms both have one valence electron.
Their atoms contain equal numbers of protons and electrons.

Hikers look at a topographic map of an area named Green Peak. The Green Peak area is made up of only limestone rock. The map is shown.
Which location around Green Peak is likely to experience the most erosion over time?
Location W, because location W has the gentlest slope
Location Z, because location Z is the flattest slope
Location Y, because location Y has the steepest slope
Location X, because location X is near the bottom of a slope

Both particles X and Y have a negative charge.
Particle Z has a positive charge.
Either particle X or particle Y has a negative charge.
Particle Z has a positive charge.
Either particle X or particle Y has a positive charge.
Particle Z has a negative charge.

Buffelgrass offspring will develop traits like those of native grasses.
The population of native grasses will decrease.
The population of native grasses will increase.

The trophic level represented by wire grass and phytoplankton receives energy directly from the primary consumers.
The trophic level represented by shrimp and copepods receives energy directly from the tertiary consumers.
The trophic level represented by catfish and gobies receives energy directly from the producers.
