What is DNA?
What is involved in neutralisation?
How many main layers does Earth have?
4
Define evolution
Evolution is the cumualtive change of heritable characteristics of biological populations over many generations. It can often result in the formation of new species.
Who was the author of Pride and Prejudice?
Jane Austen.
Name the 4 nitrogenous bases of DNA and which bases match with what.
Adenine & Thymine, Guanine & Cytosine
Compare and contrast respiration and combustion (1 compare and 1 contrast)
Compare: Both react with oxygen. Both produce carbon dioxide. Both produce water. etc.
Contrast: Respiration releases energy slowly but controlled whilst combustion releases energy fast but uncontrolled. Combustion uses various fuels whilst respiration only uses glucose. etc.
Name the three different plate boundaries
Transform boundaries, Converging boundaries, Diverging boundaries.
Name 2 different animal species studied for evolution.
Cane Toad, Red-bellied Black Snake, Northern Quolls, Finches
Name 3 FANTASY/DYSTOPIAN books starting with the letter T
The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, The Hunger Games, The Maze Runner, The Poppy War, The Bone Season, The Knight and the Moth, The Mirror of Infinite Endings, This Woven Kingdom, The Cruel Prince, Throne of Glass, Two Twisted Crowns etc.
Who established the foundational rule of heredity.
Gregor Mendel
What are the 3 tests that test for what gases?
Pop test - Hydrogen Gas
Glowing splint test - Oxygen
Limewater test - Carbon Dioxide
How were the Himalayan Mountains created?
The Himalayan mountains formed due to the convergent plate boundary collision between the Indo-Australian Plate and the Eurasian Plate. Because both plates are made of continental crust with the same low density, neither plate could subduct beneath the other into the mantle. Instead, the tectonic pressure forced the Earth's crust to push the rock skyward to create the mountain range.
Explain how the finch species from South America evolved to become the many species present in the Galapagos Islands.
As the finch speices from South America spread out amongst the Galapagos Islands, they were faced with different selection pressures in the environment. This led to the finches with the better suited variations (favourable characteristics) for the specific environment to have a higher chance of survival, passing on their heritable characteristics to their offspring and eventually, overtime, creating the many different species of finches in the Galapagos Islands.
In __ series, ___, a stylist, crafted an iconic dress of artificial fire and dies for supporting a rebellion. Fill in the blanks (they're both 'names')
In humans, this recessive disorder is caused by a single base-pair substitution in the hemoglobin gene, resulting in misshapen red blood cells that can block blood flow.
What is sickle cell anemia?
Barium chloride + Sodium sulfate. What precipitate does it create?
Barium Sulfate
Explain the process of convection currents.
As the magma becomes hot, it rises to the surface (as its less dense) then cools due to the ocean's lower temperature. This causes the magma to become dense and sink back to the bottom. This repeats itself, creating a continuous cycle.
What was the boat in which Charles Darwin journey on and when did this voyage occur.
HMS Beagle. Voyage was from 1831-1836
This SUPER popular romantasy series, written by an author with the same initials as an Australian Museum, is releasing the 7th book of their series. What is the series called and what month & year is the 7th book releasing?
ACOTAR, 7th book releasing in January of 2027
Two parents who both show the dominant trait for brown eyes have a blue-eyed child. If they have a second child, this is the exact percentage chance that the second child will also have blue eyes.

Explain volcanic eruptions
When an oceanic and continental crust meet, the oceanic plate, as it is denser and thinner, sinks beneath the contintental crust creating a subductioin zone. The oceanic crust melts into the crust and magma rises up to the surface into underground magma chambers. Then, the volcanoe erupts due to the pressure, expelling the hot magma above the surface.
Early embryos of humans, chickens, and fish all develop these.
