    Sure, here are 5 quiz practice questions about biology with

    multiple choice answers:

    **Question 1:**

    Which of the following is not a characteristic of all living


    things?

    (a) They are made up of cells

    (b) They can reproduce

    (c) They can grow and develop

    (d) They are made of non-living matter

    **Answer:** (d) They are made of non-living matter

    **Explanation:** Living things are made up of cells, can


    reproduce, can grow and develop, and are made of living
    matter. Non-living things, such as rocks and water, do not
    share these characteristics.
    **Question 2:**

    What is the name of the process by which plants convert


    sunlight into energy?

    (a) Photosynthesis

    (b) Respiration

    (c) Fermentation

    (d) Decomposition

    **Answer:** (a) Photosynthesis

    **Explanation:** Photosynthesis is the process by which plants


    use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce food and
    oxygen. Respiration is the process by which all living things
    break down food to release energy. Fermentation is a process
    that breaks down food without oxygen. Decomposition is the
    process by which dead organisms are broken down by bacteria
    and other organisms.

    **Question 3:**
    What is the name of the basic unit of heredity?

    (a) Gene

    (b) Chromosome

    (c) DNA

    (d) RNA

    **Answer:** (a) Gene

    **Explanation:** A gene is a unit of heredity that is passed


    down from parents to offspring. Genes are made up of DNA,
    which is a molecule that stores genetic information.
    Chromosomes are threadlike structures that contain DNA. RNA
    is a molecule that is involved in protein synthesis.

    **Question 4:**

    What is the name of the process by which cells divide to


    produce new cells?
    (a) Mitosis

    (b) Meiosis

    (c) Binary fission

    (d) Budding

    **Answer:** (a) Mitosis

    **Explanation:** Mitosis is the process by which cells divide to


    produce two identical daughter cells. Meiosis is a type of cell
    division that produces sperm and egg cells. Binary fission is a
    type of cell division that occurs in bacteria. Budding is a type of
    asexual reproduction in which a new organism grows out of an
    existing organism.

    **Question 5:**

    What is the name of the process by which organisms adapt to


    their environment?

    (a) Natural selection

    (b) Evolution
    (c) Speciation

    (d) Extinction

    **Answer:** (a) Natural selection

    **Explanation:** Natural selection is the process by which


    organisms that are better adapted to their environment are
    more likely to survive and reproduce. Evolution is the process
    by which organisms change over time. Speciation is the
    process by which a new species is formed. Extinction is the
    process by which a species dies out.

    I hope these practice questions are helpful!
