  • Q #1: Pathogens Which of the following microorganisms lack their own metabolic pathways and can only reproduce inside of a host cell?

    A. Bacteria

    B. Viruses

    C. Helminths

    D. Protozoa

    Answer Explanation

    The disease-causing microorganisms are known as pathogens, which include bacteria, fungi, protozoa, worms, viruses and prions. These organisms have distinguishing cell structures from each other. The most notable difference between viruses and other pathogens is that viruses lack a metabolism mechanism of their own and ability to produce proteins encoded by their DNA or RNA. However, they viruses rely on machinery of the host cell to produce their proteins and replicate their genomes.

    Answer Explanation

  • Q #3: In a certain plant, red flowers are dominant over white flowers. A plant heterozygous for red flowers and a plant with white flowers are crossed. Which of the following is the expected proportion of phenotypes in the next generation?

    A. 3 red, 1 white

    B. 1 white, 3 red

    C. 2 red, 2 white

    D. 4 white

    Answer Explanation

    2 red, 2 white.

    In this cross, the plant heterozygous for red flowers has the genotype Rr (where R represents the dominant red allele and r represents the recessive white allele), while the plant with white flowers has the genotype rr.

    The possible offspring from this cross would have the genotypes Rr (red), Rr (red), rr (white), and rr (white), resulting in a 1:1 ratio of red to white flowers.
