19. An unmagnetized steel bar is placed inside a solenoid. As the current in the solenoid is slowly increased from zero to some large value, the magnetization of the bar: (A) increases proportionally with the current (B) remains zero for a while and then increases linearly with any further increase in current (C) is unaffected by the current (D) increases with increasing current at first but later is much less affected by it (E) increases quadratically with the current.

20. A photoelectric cell is made using emitting material with a work function of 2.00 eV. A constant voltage difference V is maintained between the emitting surface and the collecting surface in a direction to push electrons back towards the emitting surface. When the wavelength of the radiation is changed, the longest wavelength which produces a photocurrent is 350 nm. Calculate the voltage difference V. Answer in volts. (A) 5.55 (B) 7.55 (C) 8.55 (D) 3.55 (E) 1.55

1. A researcher hypothesizes that crocodile gender is determined by the incubation temperature of the egg. The researcher conducts experiments and determines that an average nest incubation temperature of 32 - 33°C results in the birth of male crocodiles, while higher and lower incubation temperatures result in female crocodiles. What is the most likely explanation for this phenomenon? (A) Since this phenomenon is influenced by an external stimuli (temperature), it cannot be attributed to changes in either the genome or the proteome. (B)Incubation temperature results in a change in the crocodilian proteome. (C) Incubation temperature results in a change in the crocodilian genome. (D) Incubation temperature changes both the crocodilian genome and proteome.

3. Sickle cell anemia is a condition in which red blood cells exhibit a characteristic "sickle" shape. This arises from a mutation or change in one of the amino acids found in hemoglobin.
