1. Which of the following statements best explains
the hypothesis that the development of sexual
reproduction has resulted in acceleration of the
rate of evolution?
(A) Mutations are more likely to occur in spermatogenesis and oogenesis than in
mitotically dividing cells.
(B) Sexual reproduction results in more
offspring than does asexual reproduction.
(C) Those members of a species that are best
adapted to their environment are most likely to be successful in sexual
reproduction.
(D) Mutations usually do not occur in the
production of spores or in cells dividing by
fission.
(E) Sexual reproduction is more likely to result
in genetic recombination than is asexual
reproduction. - Correct Answer-(E) Sexual reproduction is more likely to result
in genetic recombination than is asexual
reproduction.

2. A frog skeletal muscle contracts in response to
an electrical stimulus. Increase of the stimulus
intensity by 50 percent will increase the strength
of response nearly 50 percent. If the intensity is
again increased 50 percent, the response will
increase only about another 25 percent. Further
increase in the stimulus intensity produces no
further increase in response.
The observations above are best explained by
which of the following?
(A) A muscle functions with an all-or-none
mechanism.
(B) Muscle-fiber sarcolemma is electrically
resistant.
(C) The fibers of a muscle do not all contract at
the same rate.
(D) The fibers of a muscle fatigue at varying rates.
(E) The fibers of a muscle have varying thresholds for response. - Correct Answer-
(E) The fibers of a muscle have varying thresholds for response
3. Nitrogen-containing waste products are excreted
as the result of the metabolism of which of the

following?
(A) Proteins
(B) Fats
(C) Simple sugars
(D) Starch
(E) Cellulose - Correct Answer-(A) Proteins
4. Deposits of coal in Greenland and the Antarctic
indicate that
(A) these regions once contained numerous
mollusks that deposited carbohydrates in
their shells
(B) the Earth's crust in these regions contains
vast amounts of limestone
(C) these regions were once thickly vegetated
(D) there is a rich store of dissolved carbon
dioxide in the seas surrounding these regions
(E) a geologic uplift of coral rock and ocean bed has recently occurred in these
regions - Correct Answer-(C) these regions were once thickly vegetated
5. Thirst, loss of weight, and sugar in the urine
result from the undersecretion of a hormone by
which of the following glands?

In which of the following ways do social insects
benefit most from having several types or castes
within the species?
(A) Each colony is able to include a large number of individuals.
(B) The secretions or odors produced by the protective caste are an effective
defense.
(C) The division of the species into castes ensures the survival of the fittest.
(D) Large numbers of the worker caste can migrate to start new colonies.
(E) The specialized structure of each caste permits division of labor and greater
efficiency. - Correct Answer-(E)The division of the species into castes ensures the
survival of the fittest
7. The greatest diversity of structure and of methods of locomotion is exhibited in
the individuals of
(A) a class
(B) a family
(C) an order
