grevillia
wattle
gum trees
bottlebrush
7
Which kind of pollination is most likely used by plants with bushy or feathery appendages?
wind pollination
insect pollination
mammal pollination
bird pollination
8
The process by which male plant gametes is received by the female plant structure is called:
Reception
Conception
Stigmatisation
Pollination
9
Give the name for the species of megafauna studied alongside Procoptodon and Megalania
Diprotodon
Rattus rattus
Thylacine
Cassowary
10
Which of the following does not support Australia's origins in the supercontinent Gondwana?
the position of mid-ocean ridges and plate spreading zones
the presence of humans on all associated continents
fossil evidence of species: Glossopteris and Gangamopteris
matching continental margins
11
The main force driving the introduction of variation within a species is
Sexual reproduction
Cloning
All of the above
Selective pressures
12
Internal fertilisation does NOT require:
a large number of gametes
a moist (fluid) environment
appropriate timing of male/female cycles
close proximity of an appropriate mate
13
What kind of pollination is most likely adopted by a large, red, nectar-producing flower?
insect pollination
mammal pollination
wind pollination
bird pollination
14
In which part of Earth's structure do the convection currents occur?
Inner core
Outer core
Mantle
Crust
15
Which plant species has adapted to require bushfires in order to survive and reproduce?
banksia
wattle
grevillia
eucalypt
16
External fertilisation does NOT require:
parents to raise offspring
a large number of gametes to increase success rates
a moist (fluid) environment
appropriate environmental conditions
17
Which continent shared the most land borders with Australia in the supercontinent Gondwana?
Antarctica
Africa
India
South America
18
Meiosis is different to mitosis because:
the genetic information is received from the parent cell
DNA condenses into chromosomes
more than one daughter cell is produced
it forms haploid cells
19
Which of these does NOT constitute an 'environmental change'?
climate change
a change in availability of a food resource, or other factor
the death of an individual organism
the loss of all canopy cover in an ecosystem
