During this phase of mitosis, sister chromatids separate from each other, and kinetochore microtubules pull them towards opposite ends of the cell.
Anaphase
A car accelerates from rest at 4m/s2. What is the velocity of the car after 4 seconds?
16 m/s
At about 62 billion km^2 in surface area, this planet is the largest in our solar system
Jupiter
This molecule has the chemical formula (CH3)2CO and is able to be metabolized by the body. It is also a commonly used solvent in chemistry laboratories for cleaning glassware.
Acetone/propan-2-one
What is the name of the museum that contains the largest blue whale skeleton?
The Beaty Biodiversity Museum
This evolutionary mechanism, with the strongest effect on small populations, occurs due to chance change in allele frequencies over generations.
Genetic Drift
A system that does not allow transfer of matter, but allows transfer of energy is called:
A closed system
Gravitational forces from this celestial body is the main reason for ocean tides on Earth
The moon
In CHEM 121, the Molecular Orbital theory was introduced to help explain bonding in molecules such as O2, H2O, and C2. Given this cartesian coordinate axis, what are the p orbitals responsible for the pi-bonding and pi-antibonding molecular orbitals in O2
Px and Pz
What is the actual name of the “Harry Potter room” in IKB?
Riddington Room
This area of the brain is responsible for emotions such as fear
The Amygdala
What is the derivative of ecos(x^2) ?
-2xecos(x^2)sin(x2)
This misnomer is the name of the world’s largest fish alive today
The whale shark
(Rhincodon typus)
This molecule is known to be the most abundant enzyme on earth. It makes up 20-25% of the soluble protein in leaves.
Rubisco/ RuBP carboxylase-oxygenase
The Woodward library has a collection of letters to and from this famous person
Charles Darwin
This represents the full range of environmental conditions that a species can occupy and use, without the presence of any limiting factors which could constrain the population
Fundamental Niche
A block of mass m is hanging off the ceiling using three strings, as shown. What is the tension in the left string?
mg/(sinθ + cosθtan⍺)
This is the reason for Mars’ distinct red colour
The oxidation/rusting of the iron in the soil
This type of organic species is involved in a reaction that includes initiation, propagation, and termination steps, often occurring in the presence of light or with the help of an initiator. Moreover, antioxidants are known to prevent the damage this harmful species can cause to tissues by neutralizing and “scavenging” them.
Free radicals
Before the name “Thunderbirds”, what was previously voted to be the name of UBC’s sports team?

This is the most widely known and supported biological theory/hypothesis explaining the cause of Alzheimer’s Disease
Amyloid hypothesis/Amyloid Cascade Hypothesis
For the curve y2 = 5x4 − x2, what is dy/dx?
dy/dx = (10x3)/y - x/y
Reaching >10,000m deep, this part of the Mariana Trench is the deepest known part of Earth’s oceans
The Challenger Deep
The famous scientist, Vladimir Markovnikov, discovered the Markovnikov Rule which describes how in the addition of a protic acid (such as HCl or HBr) to an asymmetric alkene, the hydrogen atom of the acid adds to the carbon atom with fewer alkyl substituents, while the halogen adds to the carbon atom with more alkyl substituents. What is the name of the two-step reaction that can convert an alkene into an alcohol following an anti-Markovnikov syn addition?
Hydroboration
What historical remains is the Museum of Anthropology built on?
World War II artillery batteries
