Usingpfor premium andrfor regular, I got two equations from the question stem: 5p = 10r and p = r+y Substitute for p: 5(r+y) = 10r Distribute: 5r + 5y = 10r Subtract 5r from both sides: 5y = 5r Plug back into the first equation: 5p = 10(y) Distribute: 5p = 10y Divide both sides by 5: p = 2y The answer is D.

What chromosome determines the sex of an organism?
[ "S chromosome", "autosome", "ribosome", "sex chromosome" ]
D
A sex chromosome is a chromosome that determines the sex of an organism. Humans have two sex chromosomes, X and Y . Females have two X chromosomes ( XX ), and males have one X and one Y chromosome ( XY ). An autosome is any chromosome other than a sex chromosome. If a trait is autosomal it will affect males and females...

B
Together with random fertilization, more possibilities for genetic variation exist between any two people than the number of individuals alive today. Sexual reproduction is the random fertilization of a gamete from the female using a gamete from the male. In humans, over 8 million (2 23 ) chromosome combinations exist ...

If |x^2 − 2| = x, which of the following could be the value of x?
[ "-1", "4", "-2", "1" ]
D
The LHS is not negative, so the RHS is also not negative. Thus x >= 0. First, let's assume that x^2-2 is negative. -(x^2 - 2) = x x^2 + x - 2 = 0 (x+2)(x-1) = 0 x = 1 or x = -2 (However, x can not be negative.) Then x = 1 is a possible value for x. The answer is D.

After fertilization, how many cells does a zygote form into?
[ "two", "six", "three", "one" ]
A
After fertilization, the zygote divides to form two cells: the upper cell, or terminal cell, and the lower, or basal, cell. The division of the basal cell gives rise to the suspensor, which eventually makes connection with the maternal tissue. The suspensor provides a route for nutrition to be transported from the moth...
