An allele for lactase persistence allows humans to digest milk as adults. People who lack this allele are lactose intolerant in adulthood.

What is the pattern of inheritance?
An allele for lactase persistence allows humans to digest milk as adults. People who lack this allele are lactose intolerant in adulthood.

What is the pattern of inheritance?
Lactase persistence is autosomal dominant.

In an area of forest measuring 100 m by 100 m, samples were taken to estimate the number of silver maple (*Acer saccharinum*) trees in the forest. The number of trees counted in each of five areas of 400 m^2 was recorded.

Approximately how many silver maple trees are in the 10 000 m^2 area of forest?

The diagram shows the carbon cycle. 

Which two processes correspond to the labelled arrows?
The diagram shows the carbon cycle.

Which two processes correspond to the labelled arrows?
J is combustion and K is respiration
19
New cards
An experiment was set up so that each test tube contained water at a pH of 6.3 and a pH indicator. Test tubes 1 and 2 also contained a common pond autotroph. Carbon dioxide dissolves in water and forms carbonic acid. After three days the four test tubes were found to have these results.

What conclusion can be drawn from test tube 1 and test tube 2?

What conclusion can be drawn from test tube 1 and test tube 2?
Test tube 1: Photosynthesis has used CO2

Test tube 2: Respiration has produced CO2

The table shows the number of differences between humans and other selected organisms for the protein cytochrome c oxidase. This protein, consisting of 104 amino acids, is located in the mitochondria and functions as an enzyme during cell respiration. 

If the data were used to draw a cladogram, which chordates would be furthest apart from humans?
