During a cell division cycle, chromosome segments from two homologous chromosomes exchange places. Which result is most likely to occur following this cycle?

A change in gene location will occur on both chromosomes

Which of the following is essential to proper functioning of all prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms?

ATP

The element carbon has multiple bonding patterns. Which bonding pattern cannot be formed by carbon?

C≡C≡C

Describe how organisms use DNA and amino acids to synthesize a protein

DNA is transcribed into mRNA, which is translated by the ribosome to produce an amino acid chain

Compare eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells

Eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles, and prokaryotic cells do not.

Lungs and capillaries both have porous linings that allow certain substances to move into or out of the structures. Which function do these porous linings most likely serve in living organisms?

Gas exchange

Which process best describes the assembly of proteins from amino acids?

Monomers are linked to form a polymer

Which property of water is most responsible for plants being able to transport water from their roots to their leaves?

The attraction between molecules

Compare carbohydrates and nucleic acids

The bonds in a carbohydrate store energy, and the sequence of nucleotides in a nucleic acid stores genetic information

Which statement best describes a function of the proteins embedded in the plasma membrane of cells?

They selectively allow certain particles into and out of the cell.

Which properties of water are most responsible for the capillary action in plants?

adhesion and cohesion

four bonds

What is the main purpose for initiating the production of folding helpers in a cell.

maintaining homeostasis

Which sequence best orders ecological categories from the one with the fewest number of individuals to the one with the greatest number of individuals?

population, community, ecosystem, biome
