Interleukin
Perforin protein
6.
Vaccination gives humans immunity:

The number of polar bodies resulting from the maturation and fertilization of 3 primary oocytes in the ovary of a human female is equal to:
3 Polar bodies
12 A polar body
6 Polar bodies
9 Polar bodies (assuming division of the first polar body)
8.

Helix enzyme
Tac polymerase enzyme
DNA ligase
Polymerase enzyme
9.

Weak hydrogen bonds
Disulfide Bonds - S-S
Ionic bonds
Additional peptide bonds
10.

Corpus luteum
12.
A diver descends to a depth of 30 meters in seawater (density = 1030 kg/m3). If atmospheric pressure is 1.013 x 105 Pa and g = 9.8 m/s2, the total absolute pressure experienced by the diver is approximately:
6.06 x 105 Pa
4.04 x 105 Pa (approx. 4.0 atmospheres)
3.03 x 105 Pa
1.01 x 105 Pa
13.
If a particle moves along a straight line such that its position s(t) = t3 - 6 t2 + 9 t meters, the particle comes to an instantaneous rest (velocity v(t) = 0) at times:
t = 0 seconds only
t = 2 seconds and t = 4 seconds
t = 1 second and t = 3 seconds
t = 6 seconds
14.
In the secondary immune response upon exposure to the microbe for the second time, the response is characterized as:
Slow and takes days
Rely only on the first line of defense
Limited to non-specialized immunity
It is very rapid and produces huge amounts of antibodies thanks to memory cells, and the individual does not show symptoms of the disease
15.
Why is the genetic code described as 'degenerate' or 'redundant'?
The genetic code decays as the cell ages.
The genetic code differs completely between bacteria and humans.
One codon can code for multiple different amino acids.
Multiple different codons can code for the same single amino acid.
16.

Stomach
20.
The density of an ideal gas at temperature T and pressure P is rho. If the pressure is tripled and the absolute temperature is halved, the new density becomes:
3 rho
0.67 rho
6 rho (since rho is proportional to P / T)
1.5 rho
