Which graph must be used to show discontinuous variation, like eye colour?

A line graph with a line of best fit.

A scatter graph.

A bar chart with distinct gaps between the bars.

Why can a beneficial mutation be important for a species over time?

It can give a survival advantage, driving natural selection.

It allows the organism to change its hair colour at will.

It prevents any future environmental variation.

True or False: All DNA mutations are harmful to an organism.

True (they always cause diseases).

False (they can be harmful, neutral, or beneficial).

Which of the following is a "mutagen" that can increase the chances of a mutation?

Cold weather and rain.

Eating too many carbohydrates.

Ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun.

What is a "mutation"?

The blending of genes from two parents.

A feature altered purely by your lifestyle choices.

A random, permanent change in an organism's DNA code.

If you gather data on student heights and plot it, the graph will look like a bell-shaped curve. What type of data is this?

Continuous variation.

Discontinuous variation.

Categorical data.

What type of variation is "ability to roll your tongue"?

Continuous variation (measured on a scale).

Discontinuous variation (you either can or cannot).

Environmental variation (learned at school).

A student's height is determined by both their genes and their diet. This is an example of:

A genetic mutation.

Combined genetic and environmental variation.

Discontinuous variation.

Which of the following is an example of purely inherited variation?

Your biological blood group (A, B, AB, O).

Speaking fluent Spanish.

Having a scar on your knee.

What is the definition of "variation"?

A permanent change in the DNA structure.

The differences between individuals of the same species.

The way organisms adapt to cold weather.

You can integrate the game into an LMS compatible with LTI 1.1 or LTI 1.3 such as Canvas, Moodle, or Blackboard. This way, the scores will be automatically saved into the platform’s gradebook.
