In which of the following locations does fertilization of an egg cell typically occur?

The correct answer is C. Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles containing enzymes that break down cellular waste, debris, and foreign materials through intracellular digestion.

The experiment involves dissolving different substances in water and observing how these solutions cool. The primary variable being tested is how the type of solute (salt, sugar, baking soda) affects the cooling rate, rather than solubility or volume effects.

The correct answer is C. The digestive system is responsible for breaking down complex food molecules, including proteins, into simpler components such as amino acids that can be absorbed and utilized by the body.

The correct answer is B. When a volcano erupts, it releases built-up pressure and gases, similar to the fizzing of a can of soda when opened. Both involve the release of pressure and trapped substances, leading to an outward expulsion of materials.

The correct answer is B. Uracil is a nitrogenous base found in RNA, replacing thymine which is found in DNA. Adenine, guanine, and cytosine are common to both RNA and DNA.

The correct answer is D. The scientific purpose would be to analyze the factors that led to the failure of the 1924 expedition, providing insights into mountaineering challenges and safety considerations, rather than demonstrating modern technology or exploring new routes.

The correct answer is B. The phenotypic ratio of 50% green pods and 50% yellow pods indicates that the genotype of the parent with green pods is heterozygous (Gg), and the genotype of the parent with yellow pods is homozygous recessive (gg). The cross would be Gg x gg.

When a proton is emitted from the nucleus of an atom, the atomic number (Z) decreases by 1 because a proton has a positive charge, and it's effectively removing one positive charge from the nucleus. However, the atomic mass (A) remains the same because protons and neutrons contribute to the atomic mass, and the emission of a proton does not affect the number of neutrons.

The correct answer is B. Electrons are much lighter than protons and neutrons and have a negligible mass compared to them. Therefore, when calculating the atomic mass number, electrons are typically not considered.

The correct answer is A. Increasing the surface area of a solid reactant by grinding it to a powder exposes more particles to the reactants, enhancing their chances of colliding and increasing the reaction rate. The other options would generally decrease the rate of the reaction.
