A group of scientists wanted to test the effects of Nitra-Grow, a chemical additive that can be given to plants to help them grow. 3 test groups of plants were given all the same time of sunlight, the same type of soil, and the same amount of water. Plant A was given no extra chemicals. Plant B was given 5g of Nitra-Grow. Plant C was given 5g of Ammonia to see if Nitra-Grow worked any better than a basic nitrogen-based household product. The plants are then measured on 5 consecutive days to find their average height (in cm).
DAY
Height Plant A (cm)
Height Plant B (cm)
Height Plant C (cm)
On Day 7, what would be plant A’s approximate height?
Possible Answers:An approximate answer cannot be made.
Correct answer: Explanation :The answer is 2.4cm. Every day, plant A increases by a normal rate of 0.2cm per day. Thus adding 0.2 two times to 2.0 will result in 2.4cm.

Which plant is the control group?
Possible Answers:There is no control group.
Correct answer: Explanation :The answer is Plant A. Plant A is getting no extra treatment, whereas Plants B and C are getting added chemicals. (Even though Plant C is being compared as a generic chemical vs. name brand chemical, it is still getting treatment)
Surgery and Chemotherapy
The table above shows measurements for tumor size growth over time within three different possible treatment methods. Each tumor was first documented at an initial size of 2 inches. Every month each tumor was measured, for a total of five measurements of each tumor.
Looking at the "Surgery and Chemotherapy" treatment column, where could one infer that chemotherapy was performed?
Possible Answers:0.05 to 0.03 inches
0.09 inches to 0.05 inches
2 inches to 0.05 inches
0.05 to 0.09 inches
Nothing can be inferred.
Correct answer:0.09 inches to 0.05 inches
Explanation :One would think that surgery as opposed to chemotherapy resulted in a drastic reduction of tumor size; therefore, the smaller reduction of size can be attributed to chemotherapy (0.09 to 0.05).

Based on the table above, which single method is most effective at reducing tumor size in the shortest period of time?
Possible Answers:cannot be answered
surgery and chemotherapy
Correct answer: Explanation :The tumor size decrease from surgery alone was 2 to 0.05 inches, the largest decrease on the chart. Don't be tricked into answering "Surgery and Chemotherapy" because the questions asks for which single method is most effective.

The table above shows measurements for tumor size growth over time within three different possible treatment methods. Each tumor was first documented at an initial size of 2 inches. Every month each tumor was measured, for a total of five measurements of each tumor.
What information would be most important to know before drawing conclusions based on this data?
Possible Answers:the stage, location, and growth rate of the cancer using each treatment
the gender of each patient
all of the information is important
none of the information is important
Correct answer:the stage, location, and growth rate of the cancer using each treatment
Explanation :The key is here the phrase most important. The location and stage of the cancer would play the biggest role in terms of treatment results. All of the other information would be helpful, but the question asks to prioritize which is the most important.

Based on the chart above, what conclusion could be drawn about the "no treatment" option?
Possible Answers:Tumor size increases upon no treatment.
Surgery and Chemotherapy together is the best treatment option.
Nothing can be concluded.
The best option is to always treat cancer, whether it be surgery or chemotherapy.
When no treatment is done, cancer tends to grow at a steady exponential rate.
Correct answer:Tumor size increases upon no treatment.
Explanation :Based on the data, the only conclusion that can be drawn is the tumor size increases. One might be tempted to draw the conclusion out further and say that some treatment is always better than no treatment; however, that is a circumstantial conclusion based on the individual patient cases, and cannot be concluded from the data shown.

What conclusion CANNOT be reached based on the data shown above?
Possible Answers:Each tumor was measured 5 times.
All three tumors started being observed when they were 2 inches in size.
All three tumors observed grew at the same rate.
None of these conclusions can be reached based on the data above.
All of these conclusions can be reached based on the data above.
Correct answer:All three tumors observed grew at the same rate.
Explanation :There is not enough information in the data to know that the cancer cells in all three groups grew at the same rate. Cancer cells can grow at different rates depending on size, stage, and other factors.
Scientist’s believe they have found the gene accountable for intelligence. The allele “G” is dominant, and the allele “g” is recessive. The intelligence gene is optimally expressed in the homozygous recessive form. The chart above shows the trait in the heterozygous form and the homozygous form. The form “gg” is from the mother, and “Gg” is from the father. The parents want to know what the gene might look like in their child.
What form of the gene expresses optimal intelligence?
Possible Answers:none of the options listed
Correct answer: Explanation :The prompt states the intelligence gene is "optimally expressed in the homozygous recessive form." Therefore, this is the "gg" form.

The form “gg” is from the mother, and “Gg” is from the father. The parents want to know what the gene might look like in their child.
According to the chart above, what are the chances of the child inheriting the optimal form of the gene?
Possible Answers: Correct answer: Explanation :The optimal form of the gene is the homozygous reccesive "gg," which has a 50 percent chance of resulting from the parental cross.

According to the data given, what could one infer about the phenotype for "Gg?"
Possible Answers:Individuals with the form "Gg" will not exhibt any intelligence above the average.
One cannot infer any phenotypic information about the form "Gg."
Individuals with the form "Gg" could exhibit two possible phenotypes. One phenotype is optimal intelligence; the other phenotype is average intelligence.
Individuals with the form "Gg" will exhibit below optimal intelligence.
Individuals with the form "Gg" will be above the normal level of intelligence, but only partially.
Correct answer:One cannot infer any phenotypic information about the form "Gg."
Explanation :The prompt does not tell what the phenotype of "Gg" is, it just mentions the phenotype for "gg" is optimal intelligence.
