Which of the following contains a human's hereditary information?

A. chromatin

B. Histones

C. ATP

D. Plasmids

Answer Explanation:

Rationale

Chromatin refers to a complex of DNA and proteins in human cells. This material is packaged by histones to make up the chromosomes. The chromosomes then contain genetic information that is heritable.

Therefore, the Correct Answer is A.

  • Q #1: A strand of DNA bases reads 5' AGCTAGCGT 3, what would the sequence of bases on the contemporary strand read?

    A. 3' STOGUTCGCU

    B. 5' AGCTAGCGT S

    C. 3' SUCGAUCICA

    D. 3' TCGATCGCA 5'

    Answer Explanation

    The complementary strand of DNA is formed by pairing complementary bases. In DNA, adenine (A) pairs with thymine (T), and guanine (G) pairs with cytosine (C). Additionally, RNA uses uracil (U) instead of thymine.

    Given the sequence 5' AGCTAGCGT 3', the complementary strand would read:

    3' TCGATCGCA 5'

  • Q #2: Parasitic worm infestation is hypothesized to be damaging to the host. However, scientists have recently discovered that worm infestation can relieve the effects of certain autoimmune disorders, in which of the following ways should the hypothesis be modified, given the new findings?

    A. Lack of worm infestations is the cause of some autoimmune disorders.

    B. Worm infestation reduces the severity of certain autoimmune disorders

    C. Worm infestation prevents the body from immune malfunction

    D. Worm infestations exacerbate the body's immune reactions

    Answer Explanation

    The new findings can be used to generate a hypothesis to reflect the beneficial aspect of worm infestations in certain autoimmune disorders, indicating that they can help reduce the severity of the condition.

  • Q #3: Use the table below to answer the question   Object Mass Time of Fall A 5.0g 2.0 sec B 5.0g 1.0 sec C 30.g 0.5 sec D 35.0g 1.5 sec   Which of the following conclusions is supported by the data?

    A. Object A and B fall at the same rate

    B. The time of fall is independent of the mass of the object

    C. The greater the mass of an object, the faster it will fall

    D. Air resistance is greater for A than for B

    Answer Explanation

    Objects A and B have the same and are subjected to the same gravitational pull. However, object B falls faster than A. This is due to a greater air resistance for A than B.
