What is the formula for calculating density?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Density is defined as the amount of mass in a given volume. The formula for calculating density is Density = Mass / Volume. This means that you divide the mass of an object by its volume to determine its density. Therefore, the correct formula for calculating density is Density = Volume / Mass. Choice A is correct because density is calculated by dividing the volume by the mass. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not represent the correct relationship between mass and volume in calculating density.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Ductility is the property of a substance that allows it to be stretched into thin wires without breaking. This property is distinct from the other options provided. Conductivity refers to the ability to conduct electricity or heat, viscosity refers to a liquid's resistance to flow, and malleability refers to the ability of a substance to be hammered or rolled into thin sheets. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Ductility.'

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Volume refers to the amount of space occupied by an object. It is a measure of the three-dimensional space that an object occupies. Mass, on the other hand, refers to the amount of matter in an object, weight is the force of gravity acting on an object, and density is the mass of an object per unit volume. In this context, volume is the most appropriate choice as it directly relates to the amount of space an object occupies.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The periodic table is a tabular arrangement of the chemical elements, organized based on their atomic number, electron configurations, and recurring chemical properties. Elements are placed in rows (periods) and columns (groups) with similar properties. The elements are listed in order of increasing atomic number, which is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. This arrangement reveals a periodic repetition of chemical properties, forming the basis of the periodic law. Choice B, which suggests arranging elements based on increasing atomic mass, is incorrect because the periodic table is primarily organized by atomic number, not atomic mass. Choices C and D are also incorrect as the periodic table is not based on reactivity or color of elements, but rather on atomic number and properties.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: A) Prometaphase is the correct answer because it is the stage of mitosis where all chromosomes are attached to the spindle fibers before anaphase begins. During prometaphase, the nuclear envelope breaks down, allowing the spindle fibers to attach to the kinetochores of the chromosomes. This attachment is necessary for proper chromosome alignment and segregation during anaphase. B) Metaphase is incorrect because it is the stage where chromosomes are aligned at the metaphase plate but do not necessarily have all spindle fibers attached. C) Cyclin degradation is incorrect because it is a regulatory mechanism that controls the progression of the cell cycle but is not specifically related to ensuring all chromosomes are attached to spindle fibers. D) Sister chromatid cohesion is incorrect because it refers to the physical connection between sister chromatids that is maintained until anaphase, but it does not ensure that all chromosomes are attached to spindle fibers.
