North Island Rescue Lesson 3 Quiz Review

A community opened two new gardens for residents to grow plants in, including vegetables. After three months, the community met to discuss the success of the two gardens. They shared concerns that plants in Garden 2 were not growing well. The images show the two gardens. Select the statement that best explains how environmental factors could influence the growth of the plants in Garden 2.

• Most of the plants in Garden 1 all have a disease-resistant gene that increase their chance of survival. The plants in Garden 2 do not have this gene, so they are not growing as well.
• The plants in Garden 1 receive plenty of sunlight. The plants in Garden 2 are in shade and not receiving the sunlight they need to grow.
• Most of the plants used in Garden 2 did not contain a gene that makes the plant more hardy; so they are less likely to grow.

Denita’s two brother, Omar and Javon, each adopted a goldfish. Omar bought his goldfish a large aquarium and some special fish food that has extra vitamins. Javon bought his goldfish a small aquarium and some regular fish food without any extra vitamins. Six months later, Denita checked to see how both of the goldfish were doing. She noticed that, although both goldfish seemed healthy, Omar’s goldfish had grown to twice the size of Javon’s goldfish. How could environmental factors affect the growth of the goldfish? Select all that apply.

• Omar’s goldfish has more space, so it grew larger than Javon’s goldfish.
• Javon’s goldfish has a recessive gene that makes it smaller than Omar’s goldfish.
• Omar likes his goldfish more than Javon likes his.
• Omar’s goldfish gets more vitamins than Javon’s goldfish, which could cause it to grow larger.
