I found #7 and #10 to be false and I still say false because obviously, I’m a Christian.
But another thing wrong with the school system is that they are stil feeding the kids Michelle Obamas ideas of the perfect meals. Teachers I know have confirmed this. How soon will we be rid of that very wealthy trash?

no propaganda please Loc: moon orbiting the third rock from the sun

#10 is up for grabs as it is only a theory and has never been tested let alone proven. The same thing is true for the BIG BANG THEORY. Theories are not facts, which is why "global warming" will never be a fact. Due to the analysis of the mineral contained in stars and other heavenly bodies, the big bang theory has more chance of some validity than global warming. As far as all forms of life coming from an particle of nonliving material, there is no evidence that this could ever happen. As far as the ones that are provable and really facts, not propaganda, I got them all right.

No, female is XX and male is XY, since only one of each pair becomes part of the new generation. Some males do have 2 xx plus the y which causes Klinfelters syndrome, and there are also other types of genetic abnormalities, which can be tested for. Fortunately most cause sterility. What is more interesting is that some species of fish, frogs and toads and turtles the sex is not determined by the genes, but on external factors.

And they can and do change sexes. Mike

I got all 10 right! Then again, I am 62 years old and public education in my day was actually education! If you could afford it, a high school graduation would get you into college with a couple "college prep" classes in English and Science.

I found this test to be quite easy, but then again I have a degree in biology.

I got all correct, according to their answers but agree with no propaganda please; evolution and The Big Bang are theories and have not been proved.

Here is a fact....Our kids scored 38TH out of 71 countries in the last internetional testing. For all of you with a liberal education, that means they are dumber then over half the world kids.

And you weren’t fed Michele’s diet, maybe American children would turn out better averages if they had a better diet. That was my point.

I Don't Normally Disagree with You, The Kids of The Depression Did Well In School And The Kids During WWII When Food Was Rationed Also Did Well, I Didn't Finish HS Because I Was a "Rebel Without a Clue", GED etc., The Last 4 Test I've Taken Said I Had The Education (Smarts) of College Graduate(?) I Was Born 1943, I Don't Think of MySelf As Overly Brite... The Schools Today Are Teaching Marx & Islam, Not U.S, History, Not The 3 "R", etc... Don D.

I'm with you, they are both theories. Life comes from life and there are no missing links or transitional forms to support evolution.

9 out of 10. Not to shabby for an old man.
