Question 1 of 20
1. Question
Category: ScienceThe gene linked to obesity in laboratory mice is known as ob and its genotypic expression can be denoted by a plus or minus sign. For example, ob+/+ would be a genotype for homozygous dominant (resulting in obesity) while ob+/- would be heterozygous. While body fat composition may be attributed to willpower, genetics also plays another role in fat metabolism with a hormone called leptin. An allele of dominant form allows for the body to metabolize fat “normally”. Note that leptin activity occurs largely in fat cells (adipocytes). The gene responsible for leptin is lep. Ash is a female mouse with the genotype ob+/-. Her fat metabolism is inhibited due to resistance from the leptin hormone itself, however, she shows to have a dominant genotype for the leptin gene. Olivia is another female mouse with ob-/- and lep+/+. Her physiological condition appears normal. Bailey is a male mouse with ob+/- and lep+/-, but has mutated germline cells such that offsprings from Bailey have a 25% lower chance of dominantly expressing the leptin gene. What are the chances of Ash and Olivia having a male offspring that is not obese and has normal fat metabolism?
Correct
Two female mice cannot reproduce. The information provided in the question was meant to distract from the stem of the question. Use logic in genetics.

Question 2 of 20
2. Question
Category: ScienceThe brain and erythrocytes are parts of the body that have one of the highest demands for glucose, a simple monosaccharide. While the brain strongly prefers glucose, it can, under only a few conditions use ketone bodies. Erythrocytes must use glucose. Ketosis is a carbohydrate-fasted state in which one consumes a diet mainly of fats and proteins (extremely minimal carbohydrates), also commonly known as the “keto” diet. Usually, food is consumed and the nutrients are taken up by the intestines (mainly the small intestine relative to carbohydrates). The carbohydrates are then transferred into the bloodstream where they are easily shuttled to every part of the body (that can do glycolysis), but mostly the liver and skeletal muscles. Glucose readily travels through the blood, but often enters target cells by help of a protein called insulin. They are stored in the form of glycogen. If the body does not consume carbohydrates after 2 hours, the glycogen stores being to shuttle out bits of glucose into the bloodstream so they can go wherever needed in the body. After ~10 hours, the liver depletes nearly all glycogen storage. In order to cope with this, the live begins to bring in and break down large fat molecules into smaller “fat pieces” called ketones. Ketones provide energy for cells by skipping glycolysis and jumping straight into the citric acid cycle. Ketones can be used nearly everywhere in the body except for erythrocytes. The purpose of ketones are so that the brain and erythrocytes can be spared what little glucose is left in the body. The condition of ketosis is one where the the blood pH lowers (becomes more acidic). Diabetics are people who do not respond well to insulin and in some cases do not produce insulin at all. The lowering of blood pH (acidosis) could be exceptionally dangerous in people who are diabetic, resulting in diabetic ketoacidosis, a potentially fatal condition. Suppose someone who was diabetic was practicing a “keto” diet (not recommended). How would their brain uptake any of the glucose in his bloodstream after 10 hours?
Correct
The brain prefers glucose. 25% of all carbohydrate intake goes towards brain function. It is unlikely the brain uses ketones directly if carbohydrates can be used instead. Carbohydrates will be spared for the brain, even in ketosis. As suggested by the passage, by the 10 hour mark there are still some tiny reserves of glucose. In people with diabetes, the ability to produce fully functional insulin is compromised and so glucose must enter brain cells by a method that does not use insulin (hence, “insulin-independent pathways”). This is why exercise is important for diabetics (and in general too)!

Question 3 of 20
3. Question
Category: ScienceMRI stands for Magnetic Resonance Imaging. An fMRI machine is a type of MRI that can take advantage of magnetic physics in biological systems by influencing the magnetic field of certain chemicals in the body. In order to be somewhat magnetically influenced by the fMRI machine, the chemicals in question must be paramagnetic (such that of deoxygenated hemoglobin) and not diamagnetic (such that of oxygenated hemoglobin). Note that hemoglobin is a part of an erythrocyte. In order to oxygenated hemoglobin, blood is sent to the lungs to pick up oxygen in gaseous from. Oxygen is in abundance in the lungs compared to the rest of the body. Suppose that relative to a combustion reaction, 10 moles of O2 (O2 with a coefficient of 10) is enough to oxygenate hemoglobin. If someone were to combust butane in the reaction below, would their tissues show any magnetic activity?
_C4H10 + _O2 → _CO2 + _H2O
Correct
Balancing the chemical reaction here would should there are 13 moles of oxygen gas, more than the 10 required to oxygenate hemoglobin. If hemoglobin is oxygenated, then the fMRI will not be able to pick up any magnetic field to influence.
Incorrect
Balancing the chemical reaction here would should there are 13 moles of oxygen gas, more than the 10 required to oxygenate hemoglobin. If hemoglobin is oxygenated, then the fMRI will not be able to pick up any magnetic field to influence.

Question 4 of 20
4. Question
Category: ScienceDouble stranded RNA is usually indicative of a viral infection in animal cells. In humans, only a virus can cause a strand of RNA to pair up and hydrogen bond with another strand of RNA. Suppose a patient comes into the ICU, hardly conscious and infected with the virus as described above. While the ICU attempts to treat the patient, a pathology lab is ordered to inspect a biopsy of the patient’s skin cells. The infectious diseases nurse looks at the stained version of the cell and notices…?
Correct
The RNAs have come together, making it too large to squeeze through the nuclear pores. Therefore it is unable to make it out into the cytosol and is trapped in the nucleus.

Question 5 of 20
5. Question
Category: ScienceA scientist recently discovered a drug that separates two protein component molecules from each other in immunoglobulins by cutting the disulfide bond. Immunoglobulins are another name for antibodies. Antibodies are made by B cells, in large quantities by plasma B cells specifically. During an infection, antibodies bind to antigens and effectively mitigate pathology as much as possible. However, the immune system is not well understood sometimes; occasionally, people with autoimmune disorders arise. These disorders occur because the immune system mistakes healthy, normal cells for vicious, pathogenic cells. People with celiac disease suffer from autoimmunity. The idea is that when people eat gluten, the gluten protein binds to the small intestine as it is normally absorbed. However with people who suffer from celiac disease, the immune system recognizes the gluten-small intestine binding complex and attacks it, often with antibodies, but also with cell-mediated mechanisms as well. If the scientist wanted to test to see if his drug can ultimately prevent and/or minimize celiac disease, what best describes his independent and dependent variables respectively?
Correct
This best describes the independent and dependent variables of the scientist’s experiment. This is because these variables specifically are directly related to the experiment. Additionally, they are the most accurate to what is being tested for. Drug dosage is similar to drug concentration, which is something the experimenter can directly control (perfect for an independent variable). The drug is meant to breakdown immunoglobulins, so it would make sense to specifically look for separated immunoglobulin components as a source of measurement. Note, separated immunoglobulin components are not directly controlled by the experimenter (perfect for a dependent variable). Drug dosage can be seen as a “cause” while separated immunoglobulin components can be seen as an “effect”. The other answer choices are either not correct or technically accurate, but not the best answer choice, as the question asks for.
