Multiple Choice
Farmer Brown grows corn for a living. One day, Farmer Green suggests to Farmer Brown that he should clone his best corn plant in order to produce more ears of corn per plant. Farmer Brown is not sure about Farmer Green's idea.
Why might Farmer Brown be hesitant to clone his corn?
Cloning the corn plants is difficult and expensive to accomplish.
Cloning eliminates the ability to sexually reproduce and provide genetic variability.
The cloned corn would not have the same taste as the original plants.
Cloned plants would have increased genetic variability as well as a shortened life expectancy.

The plant uses the energy to make sugar.
The cow uses some energy to make proteins.
Some energy is wasted as heat.
The humans use some energy chewing.

Multiple Choice
According to Mendel's _______________, one copy of a gene is passed randomly from each parent to their offspring. This is why gametes have half the usual number of chromosomes.
The ______________ states that different genes are not connected. In other words, the gene for eye color is not influenced by, nor does it influence, the gene for hair color. This allows gametes to form with a random mixture of traits.
The cell division that creates gametes according to these principles is known as __________.
Law of Segregation; Law of Independent Assortment; meiosis
Law of Independent Assortment; Law of Segregation; mitosis
Law of Segregation; Law of Independent Assortment; mitosis
Law of Independent Assortment; Law of Segregation; meiosis

Mitochondria are more closely related to bacterial cells than the eukaryotic cells in which they reside.
Bacterial DNA is capable of directing protein synthesis and enzyme production.
Nuclear DNA is bundled up in linear strands.

Schools are typically large buildings that require large amounts of energy to meet students' learning needs. While most of the energy is necessary to maintain safe, comfortable, and interactive learning environments for students, there are ways schools can reduce energy use without affecting students.
Which idea will reduce a school's energy usage the most and have the least effect on students?
Remove half of the lightbulbs in each classroom and allow students can bring battery-powered flashlights to use for reading small print when needed.
While the school is closed for holiday breaks, central heat/air systems should be turned off, and unused electrical items in classrooms should be unplugged.
Replace classroom computers with encyclopedia sets for conducting research, and replace interactive white boards with dry-erase white boards.
Cafeteria workers can cook students' breakfast and lunch meals outside on charcoal grills, instead of inside with the electric stovetops and ovens.
