It functions to stabilize social structures for its adherent’s goals and beliefs. Ideologies often take on lives of their own with their own traditions and institutions. Ideologies often substitute for religion and often lack self-critique.3-Religion has been defined by a number of scholars and dictionaries, as God’s revelationto man and man’s response to God. Religion is an active and total response to what is experienced intensely as an ultimate or transcendent reality.4-The second law of thermodynamics is ______________________________________________________________________________________(fill in the blank).5-Abiogenesis is a term used by origin scientists and means “life starting from non-life”.True or False?6-Inbreeding results from nonrandom mating among closely related individuals that have many identical alleles in common. The Royal Families 18th Century Europe where said tobe “inbred”.7-Speciation is defined in your text as changes in chromosome frequencies significant enough to designate the formation of daughter species from a parent species.8-The “biological species concept” has been defined by your text as “groups of interbreeding natural populations that are reproductively isolated from all other groups.”9-Adaptive radiation as defined by your text is a burst of species divergences that may result from physical access (being there when opportunity affords), evolutionary access (key innovations, e.g. forelimbs) and/or ecological access (entering an unoccupied adaptive zone).10-Extinction is the conditional loss of a species.True or False11-Vitamin C and E are known as enzymes that stop the aging processes.12-Cleavage is the start of multicellularity (when the egg cell starts to divide) in the zygote.13-Implantation occurs 6-7 days after fertilization when the zygote (blastocyst) adheres to the uterine lining.14-The fetal period in humans extends from the third month to birth of the baby.15-The age of survivability of a human fetus is 40 weeks. This is the age at which a baby can survive outside its mother.1True or FalseWhich of the following is true or false about the success of different birth control devices in terms of the number of pregnancies per 100 couples using the designated type of contraception for 1 year.16-Condoms alone = ~0-317-Latex Condom = ~14-2018-Latex Condom + spermicide + nonoxyl 9 = ~5-1019-The Pill = ~020-Diaphragm + spermicide = ~14-20True or False?21-Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) can often be a complication of STD’s including bleeding, vaginal discharge, pain, scarred oviducts and sometimes sterility.22-A Fossil is recognizable physical evidence of ancient life.23-Lamarck believed that environmental modifications could be passed on to offspring. The former USSR enforced Lamarchianism in its education and science programs at the turn of the 20th Century.24-Gradualism is a theory sometimes known as the Theory of Uniformity and states that gradual uniform repetitive change of over time accounts for life’s diversity.25-A population is a group of interbreeding families of the same species occupying a specific or given area.True or False26-Your text defines a zygote as a sperm or egg.27-Asexual reproduction is reproduction without sex (gamete production) and some insects like aphids exhibit this type of reproduction.28-A yolk is a protein-rich and DNA-rich substance in the egg.29-Morphogenesis is the program of orderly changes in an embryo’s size, shape and proportions resulting from specialization of cells.30-Ovaries are a female organ that produce hormones that control menstration.True or False31-Fertilization is the release of the oocyte or egg from the ovary.32-Hypothalamus and pituitary organs are the hormone secreting tissues or glands in the brain that regulate ovulation and spermatogenesis.33-Menopause occurs when a female human’s supply of eggs is dwindling and hormonal secretions increase drastically.34-Hormones that synchronize a human female’s menstrual cycle include FSH, LH, progesterone and estrogen.35-Cleavage occurs when the plasma
