The best possible way to test the paternity of a child would be to
a) compare the entire genome of the father and the child.
b) compare only a particular marker dna, which is present in both the genomes.
c) compare a small number of short sequences of dna derived from the father and the child’s genomes.
d) observe the number of complimentary base pairs formed between the father’s dna and the child’s dna.

What's wrong with this ecological pyramid? (multiple choice)1. secondary consumers should be at the bottom of the pyramid2. the sun has an arrow leading to decomposers 3. primary consumers should come after the sun4. energy retained should increase from the bottom to the top5. the sun should be at the bottom of the pyramid

Female luna moths (actias luna) attract males by emitting chemical signals that spread through the air. a male hundreds of meters away can detect these molecules and fly toward their source. the sensory organs responsible for this behavior are the comblike antennae visible in the photograph shown here. each filament of an antenna is equipped with thousands of receptor cells that detect the sex attractant. based on what you learned in this chapter, propose a hypothesis to account for the ability of the male moth to detect a specific molecule in the presence of many other molecules in the air. what predictions does your hypothesis make? design an experiment to test one of these predictions.

Abody cell has been growing and at synthesis proteins. in the nucleus of this body cell, dna replication is taking place. and a copy of the cells genetic material is copied. which of the following is the best conclusion you can make about the life cycle of this cell ? a) the cell is ready to undergo mitosis. and a chemical signal will send the cell to prophase b)the cell is undergoing meiosis and will cross over the genetic material next c)the cell is in the s phase of interphase and will move next to the g2 phase d) the cell is in the g2 phase of the interphase and is ready to begin diving
