Frage 8

Frage
Sutton and Boveri contributed to our understanding of the importance of chromosomes. What was one of their findings?
Antworten
  • Chromosomes carry hereditary factors.
  • Sex is genetically determined by chromosomes.
  • Radiation can cause mutations in chromosomes.

Frage 9

Frage
What is a feature of an estuarine organism (eg mangroves) that allows it to survive?
Antworten
  • High rate of salt excretion
  • Low rate of osmosis into its cells
  • High uptake of salt from its environment
  • Low uptake of oxygen from its environment

Frage 10

Frage
What does the structure of arteries allow them to do?
Antworten
  • Transport oxygen rich blood
  • Withstand high blood pressure
  • Release carbon dioxide to the lungs
  • Remove nitrogenous waste via the kidneys

Frage 11

Frage
Why are quarantine measures needed when there is an outbreak of an infectious disease in Australian farm animals?
Antworten
  • To prevent the spread of the disease to food imported into Australia
  • To prevent Australian farm animals from becoming immune to the disease
  • To prevent introduced plants threatening the survival of Australian farm animals
  • To prevent the disease from spreading to farm animals in different regions of Australia

Frage 12

Frage
Two experiments were conducted where either cold air or hot air was blown continuously onto a student’s legs while the skin temperature on the student’s arm was being measured. The graph shows the change in skin temperature on the arm of the student for each experiment. Which process best accounts for the trends shown in the graph?
Antworten
  • Diffusion
  • Enantiostasis
  • Homeostasis
  • Inflammation

Frage 13

Frage
Why is carbon dioxide removed from cells?
Antworten
  • To decrease osmosis
  • To allow oxygen to replace it
  • To prevent an increase in blood pH
  • To prevent cells from becoming acidic

Antworten
  • Aldosterone
  • Anti-diuretic hormone
  • Insulin
  • Oestrogen

Frage 15

Frage
Which is the correct sequence of a feedback mechanism for the control of blood pressure?
Antworten
  • blood pressure → blood vessels → brain → reptors → blood pressure
  • blood pressure → blood vessels → reptors → brain → blood pressure
  • blood pressure → receptors → blood vessels → brain → blood pressure
  • blood pressure → receptors → brain → blood vessels → blood pressure

Antworten
  • biogeography
  • comparative biochemistry
  • comparative embryology
  • palaeontology

Frage 17

Frage
The photo shows insect mounds (nests) in hot northern Australia. The mounds are built with a narrow side facing the midday sun and the wide sides facing towards the morning and late afternoon sun. The structure of these nests helps the insects in them to
Antworten
  • become endothermic
  • cool down quickly in the afternoon
  • maintain a constant body temperature
  • develop enzymes that operate at a high temperature

Antworten
  • Genes are inherited from both parents
  • Mutation of DNA may lead to new alleles
  • DNA contains the code for proteins and polypeptides
