b. Thyroid cartilage
c. Cricoid cartilage
d. Hyoid bone
11) When exhaling, the diaphragm
, a. Relaxes
b. Contracts
c. Moves down and in
d. Stays in the same position
12) Which of the following correctly lists the cellular hierarchy from the simplest to most complex
structure?
a. Tissue, cell, organ, organ system, organism
b. Organism, organ system, organ, tissue, cell
c. Organ system, organism, organ, tissue, cell

13) If a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, what will happen to the cell?
a. It does not affect the cell
b. It will swill
c. It will stay the same

g Bg gg
What word describes the allele for green eyes?
a. Heterozygous
b. Dominant
c. Recessive
d. Homozygous
, i. Recessive alleles are represented by lower case letters
16) What is the possibility that the offspring produces will have brown eyes?
a. 100%
b. 25%
c. 75%
d. 50%
17) What are groups of cells that perform the same function?
a. Molecules
b. Organs

a. Mitosis
b. Interphase
c. Meiosis
d. Cytokinesis
i. Nuclear division of somatic cells takes place during mitosis
