What is the name for the physical presentation of an organism's genes?

A. Phenotype

B. Species

C. Phylum

D. Genotype

Answer Explanation:

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.

Therefore, the Correct Answer is A.

  • Q #1: Which of the following is true regarding adipocytes?

    A. They are involved in the secretion of glucose.

    B. They are responsible for storing the fat that is found in adipose tissue

    C. They are critical in the digestive breakdown of fat

    D. They are the foundational element of muscles

    Answer Explanation

    Adipocytes are primarily seen in adipose or fat tissue. Their primary function is the storage of fat Adipocytes play a crucial role in maintaining proper energy balance, storing calories in the form of lipids, and mobilizing energy sources in response to stress. They are not involved in the digestion of fat or the secretion of glucose, nor are they the foundational element of muscles

  • Q #2: Where is the gastrocnemius vein in relation to the femoral vein?

    A. Lateral

    B. Distal

    C. Superior

    D. Ventral

    Answer Explanation

    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.

  • Q #3: Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of enzymes?

    A. They change shape when they bind their substrates.

    B. They can catalyze reactions in both forward and reverse directions.

    C. Their activity is sensitive to changes in temperature.

    D. They are always active on more than one kind of substrate.

    Answer Explanation

    Enzymes are substrate-specific. Most enzymes catalyze only one biochemical reaction. Their active sites are specific for a certain type of substrate and do not bind to other substrates and catalyze other reactions.
