PISA-LIKE QUESTIONS

1.Leslie is preparing a slide to observe a small sample of pond water under a microscope. The student places a small
drop of water on a glass slide, then carefully lowers a coverslip over the sample. Why is it important for the student
to lower the coverslip slowly at an angle?

A. To avoid trapping air bubbles that could obstruct the view.


B. To ensure that the sample is evenly spread across the slide.
C. To increase the magnification of the sample.
D. To preserve the natural shape of the sample.

2. A couple wants to have a child. The mother has two copies of the same gene, and the father has two different
versions of the gene. The child inherits one version of the gene from each parent, which results in a unique
combination of genetic traits. Which process ensures that the child inherits one version of the gene from each
parent?

A. Mitosis, because it produces genetically identical cells.


B. Meiosis, because it reduces the chromosome number by half and shuffles genetic material.
C. Fertilization, because it combines the DNA from both parents.
D. DNA replication, because it duplicates genetic information before division.

3. A scientist is studying the division of human skin cells in culture. The scientist notices that, in some cases, the
cells fail to separate properly during mitosis. As a result, some cells end up with an extra copy of a chromosome.
What is the most likely outcome of this error?

A. The cells will be able to divide normally next time.


B. The cells may become cancerous due to uncontrolled cell growth.
C. The cells will die immediately after division.
D. The cells will have fewer chromosomes than normal

4. During a heavy rainstorm, the ground becomes saturated with water, and some of the water flows into nearby
rivers. A few days later, the weather becomes sunny and dry again. Which of the following processes is responsible
for the water returning to the atmosphere after the rainstorm?

A. Precipitation, which causes the rain to fall.


B. Infiltration, where water moves through the soil into the ground.
C. Condensation, where water vapor forms clouds in the sky.
D. Evaporation, where the water from the surface changes to vapor and rises into the air.

5.A group of Grade-9 students wants to test whether the amount of light affects the growth of a plant. They set up an
experiment where they place plants under three different conditions:

 Direct sunlight for 7 hours a day


 Indirect sunlight for 7 hours a day
 No light at all for 7 hours a day.
They measure the height of the plants after two weeks. Which of the following is the independent variable in this
experiment?

A. The height of the plants after two weeks.


B. The type of plant used in the experiment.
C. The amount of light each plant receives.
D. The amount of water the plants receive each day.
