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.
