Question 2
2.
Which conclusion can be drawn, based on these data?
The more margarine consumed, the greater the incidence of coronary heart disease.
It is better to eat margarine than to eat butter.
Butter is a natural product whereas margarine is hydrogenated vegetable oil that leads to
coronary heart disease.
Margarine causes more heart related deaths than butter.

How can a chi-squared test be used in ecological research?

To test whether one population of plants is taller than another
To test the effect of an abiotic factor on one plant species

Question 23
23.
Under certain conditions, living organisms on Earth produce and release methane. What
favors the production of methane?
Forest fires
Dry conditions
Anaerobic conditions
High light intensity
Question 24
24.
The oceans absorb much of the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The combustion of fossil
fuels has increased carbon dioxide ocean concentrations. What adverse effect does this
have on marine life?
Heterotrophs consume more phytoplankton.
Phytoplankton have increased rates of photosynthesis.
Corals deposit less calcium carbonate to form skeletons.
Increased pH reduces enzyme activity in marine organisms.
Question 25

What process best explains the formation of different pentadactyl limbs?
Selective breeding
Convergence
Adaptive radiation
Interbreeding
Question 26
26.
What would restrict evolution by natural selection, if a species only reproduced by cloning?
Mutations could not occur.
The offspring would show a lack of variation.
The offspring would be the same sex as the parent.
Too few offspring would be produced.
