broth, rather than boiled it, what would have been the likely outcome of his experiment? Cells
would ________.
A) not have appeared in either flask
B) have appeared in both flasks

5) Algae in the genus Caulerpa typically grow to a length of over half a meter and have structure
similar to stems, leaves, and roots. Reproduction occurs when adults produce sperm and eggs
that fuse to form offspring. Each adult Caulerpa consists of just a single cell, however. Which of
the following statements is TRUE?
A) Caulerpa violate the pattern component of the cell theory that all organisms consist of cells.
B) Caulerpa violate the process component of the cell theory that all cells come from preexisting
cells.
C) Caulerpa violate both the pattern and process components of the cell theory.
D) The existence of Caulerpa is consistent with the cell theory.

A) only found in pairs because single cells cannot exist independently
B) limited in size to 200 and 500 micrometers in diameter

,7) The cell theory states that all cells come from preexisting cells. If this is the case, why are the
cells in a multicellular organism so different from one another?
A) Cells in a multicellular organism are exposed to different energy sources allowing them to
develop different features.
B) During cell division, the genetic information that is replicated and passed onto the daughter
cells is different from the original cell.
C) The genetic information of each cell is copied and passed on to the daughter cells and the
molecular machinery that reads that genetic information is different in each cell.
D) The genetic information of each cell is copied and passed on to the daughter cells and the
molecular machinery makes copies of particular genes in different cells to generate different
features in those cells.

B) it inferred that genetic information flowed from messenger RNA to DNA to protein
C) it suggested a mechanism for copying and preserving the genetic material
D) it revealed how mRNA was used to make proteins

12) Cotton-topped tamarins are small primates with tufts of long white hair on their heads. While
studying these creatures, you notice that males with longer hair get more opportunities to mate
and father more offspring. To test the hypothesis that having longer hair is adaptive in these
males, you should ________.
A) test whether other traits in these males are also adaptive
B) look for evidence of hair in ancestors of tamarins
C) determine if hair length is heritable
D) test whether males with shaved heads are still able to mate
