Question 6 of 20

6. Question
1 point(s)
Why has so much research been done on E. coli?

Correct

Incorrect
Question 7 of 20

7. Question
1 point(s)
The 20-year study on 40,000 generations of E. coli bacteria subjected to nutritional challenges demonstrated:
- immediate adaptation to the new environment followed by relatively few changes in subsequent generations
- slow and steady evolution toward increased fitness for the new environment
- relatively few changes in the initial generations followed by a quick adaptation at a later generation
- slow and steady evolution toward decreased fitness for the new environment
Correct

Incorrect

9. Question
1 point(s)
The similarity in cellular structure and function across all organisms is interpreted by secular scientists as ______________ and by biblical scientists as ____________.
- coming from a common ancestor; designed by a common creator

- purposeful; purely coincidental
Correct

Incorrect
Question 10 of 20

10. Question
1 point(s)
The difference in cellular structure and function across different organisms expressed via differences in genetic information allows for
- categorization of different created kinds based on observable boundaries
- evolution from one kind of organism to another
- determining common ancestors
- observing the common design in all organisms
Correct

Incorrect
Question 11 of 20

11. Question
1 point(s)
How do evolutionists typically explain the apparent design of molecular machines?
- given enough time the parts of the machine randomly came together
- they were designed by the Creator
- there are no such molecular machines
- by not addressing the question of their origins
Correct

Incorrect
Question 12 of 20

12. Question
1 point(s)

- eukaryotes are more complex than prokaryotes
- prokaryotes are more complex than eukaryotes
- they are of the same level of complexity

Incorrect
Question 13 of 20

13. Question
1 point(s)
Which of the following is NOT true regarding a eukaryotic nucleus?
- it is a random, unordered environment containing ambiguously-ordered chromosomes
- it contains the genetic material of the cell
- it is a highly organized environment where chromosomes are strictly and dynamically controlled to maximize the efficiency of gene activity
- it is enclosed by a membrane
Correct

Incorrect
Question 14 of 20

14. Question
1 point(s)
What is the evolutionary model for how eukaryotic cells came to have organelles like mitochondria?
- eukaryotic cells evolved from prokaryotic cells when one cell engulfed another, and the engulfed cell became an organelle
- eukaryotic cells were designed with exactly the organelles that they need to function properly
- eukaryotic cells existed first and some of the organelles escaped and started reproducing, hence evolving into prokaryotic cells
- eukaryotic cells evolved from prokaryotic cells when part of a nucleus from a prokaryotic cell broke off and became an organelle
Correct

Incorrect
Question 15 of 20

15. Question
2 point(s)
Which of the following are observations that are inconsistent with the evolutionary model for how eukaryotic cells came to have organelles like mitochondria? (select all that apply)
- mitochondria have a circular piece of DNA that is enclosed by a membrane
- functionality of mitochondria are not features that are found in prokaryotes such as bacteria
- most of the genes that govern mitochondria functionality are found in the DNA in the cells nucleus and not in the DNA in the mitochondria
- there is almost no resemblance between mitochondria and prokaryotes when comparing the membrane, internal matrix, and DNA composition
Correct

Incorrect
Question 16 of 20

16. Question
1 point(s)
To properly carry out its photosynthetic functions, a chloroplast organelle requires proteins encoded by genes in:
- both its own DNA and the encompassing cell’s nuclear DNA
- its own DNA only
- the encompassing cell’s nuclear DNA only

Correct

Incorrect
Question 17 of 20

17. Question
5 point(s)
Match each of the following eukaryotic cell features with the corresponding difficulty that it presents to an evolutionary story of origins.
Sort elements
- must work in tandem with other cellular processes as it makes needed modifications to newly-made macromolecules to tag them for delivery to a particular location
- if not compartmentalized, it would destroy the entire cell
- there are no prokaryotes that have a similar ability to detoxify and oxidize long-chain fatty acids
- must be seamlessly associated with nucleus to use ribosomes to translate RNA into proteins
- motor mechanism and design for mobility and cell signaling are completely different from the same feature found in prokaryotes
- Golgi apparatus
- lysosome
- peroxisome
- endoplasmic reticulum
- flagellum
