2. Why is DNA perhaps the most powerful argument for intelligent design? *

1 point

a. The structure is irreducibly complex.

b. DNA is information, which is only known to come from an intelligent mind.

c. The nucleotides in a DNA chain are made of only right-handed ribose molecules.

1 point

a. Its coded instructions for the making and use of proteins.

b. It serves as the main structural molecule that comprises the cytoskeleton

c. It is used as a highway upon which the kinesin (walking robot) transports packets of manufactured goods.

1 point

a. Equivalent to 1000 books

b. Equivalent to a huge volume like Harry Potter

c. Equivalent to all the worlds libraries

d. Equivalent to 500 stacks of books reaching the moon or a single stack of books reaching the sun.

5. Francis Crick said “Biologists must constantly keep in mind that what they see was not designed, but rather evolved.” What discovery was he awarded the Nobel Prize for? *

1 point

a. A missing link he called “pithecanthropus alalus” meaning speechless ape-man.

b. The Bacterial flagellum

c. The Double Helix (shape of the DNA molecule)

1 point

a. The translation of messenger RNA into proteins

b. The movement (swimming) of cells

c. The manufacturing of organelles

d. Transportation of substances within a cell down a microtubule highway

7. Darwin said: “If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down”. What discovery precisely demonstrates just what Darwin feared? *

1 point

a. The discovery of the cell by Robert Hooke

b. The microscope which allowed us to see the highways of the cell

c. Molecular machines that are irreducibly complex.

d. Mendelian genetics

8. Leafhopper insects were found to have been designed with what piece of remarkable engineering that allows them to jump with incredible precision? *

1 point

a. Compound eyes that perceive small changes in light intensity help Leafhoppers steer their jumps through vegetation.

b. They have sensory antennae that detect even the smallest changes in wind speed.

c. Gears that mesh their hind legs ensures almost complete synchronicity of their legs when jumping.

d. All of the above.

9. What design feature was discovered on the Blue Morpho Butterfly that inspired technological developments? *

1 point

a. They use a sophisticated motion detection system called optic flow investigated for it application in robot machinery.

b. The scales on their wings have a reflective surface that produces a bright shade of color through iridescence.

c. Compound eyes with 7,000 hexagonal (six-sided) facets that track their position with incredible precision.

d. They use light intensity to measure available space and navigate through dense vegetation.

10. Cuttlefish use what mechanism to change their color and blend into their surroundings. *

1 point

a. Chromatophore - cells with pigments in an elastic sac attached to muscles that stretch the sac so the pigments cover a wider area.

b. Iridophore - tiny stacks of plates that diffract light producing iridescent color.

c. Leucophore - plates that reflect surrounding light to help with camouflage.

d. Photophore – emits bioluminescent light produced from a chemical reaction.

e. All of the above.
