Microfossils of single-celled prokaryotic organisms have been found in rocks that are at least 3.5 billion years old. What led to the conclusion that single-celled prokaryotic organisms evolved in the absence of oxygen?
a) Earth's plant life 3.5 billion years ago was unable to produce oxygen.
b) Earth's atmosphere 3.5 billion years ago contained very little to no oxygen.

A group of biology students wanted to know more about the growth of algae in local ponds. They studied algae living in a sunny pond and algae living in a shady pond. How will the rate of cell division MOST LIKELY differ between the algae?
a) The algae in the sunny pond will have a faster rate of cell division because they receive more sunlight.
b) The algae in the shady pond will have a slower rate of cell division because cold water inhibits their growth.
c) The algae in the shady pond will have a faster rate of cell division because they are protected from direct sunlight.
d) The algae in the sunny pond will have a slower rate of cell division because the higher water temperature causes mutations.

d) He wanted to relieve the public from the small pox epidemic.

Which sentence BEST explains a virus's means of replication?
a) The virus attaches to a living host cell and begins to reproduce with the cell, thereby producing hybrid cells.
b) The virus attaches to a living host cell and begins to control the cell, thereby replicating more specimens.
c) The virus attaches to a nonliving host cell and begins to use the cellular material to replicate.
d) The virus attaches to a nonliving host cell and begins to self-reproduce until a living cell is available.
