SUPER SCIENCE TRIVIA

Why is "Bias" a critical issue in AI systems?

• AI systems intentionally discriminate based on race, gender, or other characteristics.

• Bias is a minor concern since AI is mostly neutral and objective.

• AI systems are inherently biased due to algorithmic design.

• Bias can result from the data used to train AI models, leading to unfair outcomes.

Which of the following celestial bodies is classified as a "dwarf planet"?

• Europa

• Titan

• Ganymede

• Pluto

Why do astronauts experience "weightlessness" in space?

• There is no gravity in space.

• The distance from Earth cancels out gravity.

• Their spacesuits counteract Earth's gravity.

• They are in free-fall, constantly orbiting Earth.

What causes the "red color" of Mars?

• Active volcanoes on its surface

• High levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere

• Reflection of sunlight by red rocks

• The presence of iron oxide (rust) in its soil

What is the primary reason for the Earth's seasons?

• The Earth's distance from the Sun changes during its orbit.

• Variations in the Sun's radiation output.

• The gravitational pull of the Moon.

• The tilt of Earth's axis relative to its orbital plane.

What is the term for the phenomenon where a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) is associated with a specific disease or trait?

• Linkage disequilibrium

• Epistasis

• Pleiotropy

• Genetic association

The tendency of an offspring to resemble its parent is known as:
