Points
Question 1 de 11
1.0/ 1.0 Points
Different dog breeds have been bred by humans from a common ancestor over
the past few thousand years. This is an example of
A. un-natural selection
B. natural selection
C. artificial selection
D. artificial insemination
Clé de correction: C
Question 2 de 11
1.0/ 1.0 Points
Energy utilization in living organisms is
A. neither a necessary nor a sufficient condition for life
B. not important for organisms that have adapted to survive extremely low
temperatures (psychrophiles)
C. only important for organisms like plants which receive their energy directly
from the Sun
D. one of the most basic requirements of life, without which organisms could not
maintain order, grow, and reproduce
Clé de correction: D
Question 3 de 11

environmental conditions found on different islands
D. some species are more successful than others

on Earth has a common ancestor?

, Why might we think that silicon would be an obvious alternative to carbon as a
building block for biological molecules?
A. it has a similar abundance on Earth to carbon
B. it has a similar electronic structure to carbon, forming a maximum of four
bonds and, hence, should have a similar chemistry
