The R-group, or side chain, of the amino acid serine is -CH2-OH. The R-group, or side chain, of the amino acid leucine is -CH2-CH-(CH3)2. Where would you expect to find these amino acids in a globular protein in aqueous solution?
A) Serine would be in the interior, and leucine would be on the exterior of the globular protein.
B) Leucine would be in the interior, and serine would be on the exterior of the globular protein.
C) Serine and leucine would both be in the interior of the globular protein.
D) Serine and leucine would both be on the exterior of the globular protein.

In the example of the predator/prey web in the grassland community on Bylot Island, a rise in the Snowy Owl population would have what effect on the Snow Goose?
A. The Snow Goose population would rise due to owls preying upon foxes. B. The Snow Goose population would fall due to an increase in the fox population. C. The Snow Goose population would fall due to a lower consumption of grasses. D. The Snow Goose population would rise due to lemming, and subsequently fox, populations declining. E.

Why was it important that the pea plants Mendel chose were true-breeding?
a. These plants were resistant to mutations that would have confounded his calculations. b. True-breeding plants meant that infertile samples did not affect trait inheritance probabilities. c. Because the plants were naturally self-fertilizing, traits from other plants could be excluded. d. Scientific journals at that time would only accept results from specific, verified species
