Which sequence represents the order of development
for many plants?
(1) seed develops inside fruit → seed is dispersed →
seed germinates → plant grows
(2) seed is dispersed → seed develops inside fruit →
seed germinates → plant grows
(3) seed germinates → plant grows → seed is
dispersed → seed develops inside fruit
(4) seed is dispersed → plant grows → seed
germinates → seed develops inside fruit
Which statement describes a method of sexual
reproduction that occurs in plants?
(1) Stem cuttings are placed in water and grow
roots.
(2) Seeds are produced from the flower of the
plant.
(3) Underground stems from a plant grow into
new plants.
(4) A leaf falls to the soil, develops roots, and
grows.
The diagram below shows a cross section of a
bean seed.
The function of part X in the bean seed is to
(1) provide protection for the embryo
(2) provide nutrients for the embryo
(3) prevent mutations in the plant
(4) fight off infections in the plant.
When do organs and organ systems
begin to develop in humans?
(1)before fertilization
(2) during childhood
(2) before birth
(4) during adulthood
What are produced in both the male and
female reproductive systems in humans?

(2) fertilized eggs
(3) nutrients
(4) sex cells
During which process does a caterpillar
become a butterfly?
(1) fertilization

Which process is represented by the diagram
below?

(3) minerals
(4) DNA
Which process involves choosing certain
organisms to reproduce with one another in
order to pass on specific, desirable traits to their
offspring?
(1) selective breeding

A Punnett square is shown below. The dominant
trait is represented by R. The recessive trait is
represented by r.

likely show the dominant trait?
(1) 25% (2) 75% (3) 50% (4) 100%
Many cells have a nucleus that contains
chromosomes. These chromosomes carry genes that
are composed of
(1) hormones
(2) DNA molecules

(1)offspring
(2) cells
(3) DNA
