Test Description: Random question from the Regents exam from August 2022
Instructions: Answer all questions to get your test result.
1) Studying fossils provides evidence for evolution because fossils
A
always contain complete DNA sequences
B
found in the same area are usually closely related to each other
C
take a long time to form
D
can show patterns of biological change over time
2) Which statement best describes the interactions between the structures found within a single celled organism?
A
They must act independently of each other and prevent homeostasis.
B
They prevent homeostasis from damaging the cell.
C
They allow the organism to maintain homeostasis.
D
They carry out the same life process in order to maintain homeostasis
3) Sexually reproduced offspring have traits similar to their parents because they receive
A
all of the proteins from each parent
B
some of the proteins from both parents
C
all of the genes present in both parent
D
some of the genes present in each parent
4) Scientists have modified one gene in a plant so it now produces a natural form of rubber. The process that was most likely used to modify the plants' traits and increase their natural rubber production was
A
genetic recombination during sexual reproduction
B
fertilizing the plants with key substances found in petroleum
C
selective breeding of two similar plant varietie
D
genetic engineering to alter a specifi c gene
5) A response of a normally functioning immune system that can be harmful is
A
rejecting an organ transplant
B
recognizing chemical signals
C
being infected by the flu virus
D
fighting off a bacterial infection
6) Which molecules are normally found in single-celled organisms?
A
organic molecules, only
B
neither organic nor inorganic molecules
C
inorganic molecules, only
D
both organic and inorganic molecules
7) PCR, Polymerase Chain Reaction, is a method for carrying out DNA replication. In order to perform this technique, a scientist would need
A
a DNA template, enzymes, and subunits with A, G, T, and C bases
B
enzymes, several types of simple sugars, and starch molecules
C
enzymes, specific receptor molecules, and several hormones
D
a DNA template, ATP, and 20 different amino acid subunits
8) Killer whales are an endangered species. The decline in the whales’ numbers has been linked to poor nutrition, resulting in the inability to maintain a pregnancy. This risk to developing whale embryos is most likely a result of
A
an infection caused by the embryo’s exposure to a pathogen
B
faults in the genes of the embryo itself
C
an environmental factor not associated with the embryo’s genes
D
toxins that are introduced into the mother from the embryo’s blood
9) A biotechnology tool, known as CRISPR-Cas9, allows scientists to precisely edit genes. In order to edit genes, CRISPR-Cas9 must be able to
A
block cell receptors from receiving signals
B
change the rate at which a cell uses ATP
C
alter the base sequence of DNA
D
prevent cells from differentiating
10) By measuring the colors of light refl ected by different tree species in a forest, scientists can determine the amount of biodiversity present in different areas. Maintaining biodiversity is important because it
A
reduces the carrying capacity of a forest ecosystem
B
ensures the availability of a variety of genetic material
C
increases the number of predators that control the population size of prey
D
guarantees that all species within a forest ecosystem will survive
11) A student used a microscope to examine some cells. He observed strands located in the nuclei of these cells. These strands are responsible for coding different proteins and are known as
A
ribosomes
B
mitochondria
C
chromosomes
D
chloroplasts
12) Which sequence best represents the correct order of events in the formation of a sexually reproduced individual?
A
embryo → zygote → gamete → fetus
B
zygote → embryo → fetus → gamete
C
gametes → zygote → embryo → fetus
D
gametes → embryo → fetus → zygote
13) Direct harvesting occurs when
A
corn is planted in a newly plowed fi eld
B
zebra mussels are accidentally imported to the Great Lakes
C
pine trees are cut from a forest for use as lumber
D
roots of plants continually take in water
14) In New York State, it is common for farmers to plant large fields of one crop, such as the cornfield. A negative outcome of this practice is that
A
the stability of the ecosystem will be reduced
B
the corn will interbreed with weeds in the area
C
new species of insect-resistant corn will evolve
D
new predators will be introduced into the ecosystem
15) Which statement best describes the process of competition?
A
It always occurs between members of different species.
B
It allows nutrients in an ecosystem to move from herbivores to autotrophs.
C
It may be for abiotic or biotic resources
D
It is not affected by changes in the environment.
16) Changes in external temperatures often result in a person either sweating or shivering. These responses are one way
A
the body is able to maintain equilibrium through feedback mechanisms
B
skin and muscle cells are able to disrupt homeostasis
C
to make the body release insulin to control blood circulation
D
to counteract feedback mechanisms that would otherwise be beneficial
17) Which statement about the response of the body to pathogens is correct?
A
) Red blood cells engulf invaders and produce antibodies that attack invaders.
B
AIDS is a bacterial disease that strengthens the immune system
C
All allergic reactions are caused by an immune response to microorganisms.
D
Vaccinations may contain weakened microbes that stimulate the formation of antibodies.
18) Blood sugar levels increase after a meal and eventually return to normal. This constant correcting of blood sugar levels within the body is accomplished by
A
manipulating a gene
B
an allergic reaction
C
an immune response
D
a feedback mechanism
19) An electron micorsocoe is used to view things are extra small. Which is the smallest organims in the list that can only be viewed with an electron microscope
