Answer : 3. "Ethylene"
Explanation :

Answer: C) Ethylene Explanation: Allotropes are different structural modifications of an element, that is, each of two or more different physical forms in which an element can exist.   Carbon is capable of forming many allotropes due to its valency. Well-known forms of carbon include charcoal, diamond, graphite, buckminsterfullerene and graphene.   Hence, Ethylene is not an allotrope of Carbon.

Answer : 1. "Evolution"
Explanation :

Answer: A) Evolution Explanation: Heritable variation is one of the four most important factors that affect whether natural selection can occur. These factors include 1) Heritable variation 2) Descent with modification 3) Struggle for survival, and necessarily if the others are satisfied 4) Survival of the fittest. Heritable variation allows for possibly beneficial, negative, or even neutral mutations to get filtered during each generation by natural selection--weeding out negative mutations, passing on positive and neutral ones. Without heritable variation, species would quickly fall victim to parasites who take advantage of identical genetic material in a population and evolution would not occur. Variation is the raw material of evolution.

Answer : 2. "Intracellular transport"
Explanation :

Answer: B) Intracellular transport Explanation: A cytoskeleton is the frame that gives shape to a cell. And also it offers support, and facilitates movement through three main components: microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules.   The cytoskeleton helps the cell move in its environment and controls the movement of all of the cell's interior workings.

Answer : 2. "3' > 2' > 1'> NH3"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 3' > 2' > 1'> NH3 Explanation: The order of basicity in ammonia is different in gaseous phases vs. aqueous phases due to hydrogen bonding.   So in gaseous phases it's the well known: 3' > 2' > 1'> NH3. Just so we're on the same page, this is due to the inductive effect of electron donating alkyl groups--they destabilize the lone pair on nitrogen atom, making nitrogen more basic.   But in aqueous phase, the order is slightly different: 2'> 1'> 3' > NH3.
