Question: [QUESTION]Based on this information, what is this plant's phenotype for the pea shape trait?
Solution: The pea plant's genotype for the pea shape gene is EE. The pea plant's genotype of EE has only E allelles. The E allele is for round peas. So, the pea plant's phenotype for the pea shape trait must be round peas.
To check this answer, consider whether the pea plant's alleles are dominant or recessive. The allele for round peas (E) is dominant over the allele for wrinkled peas (e). This means E is a dominant allele, and e is a recessive allele.
The pea plant's genotype of EE has two dominant alleles. An organism with at least one dominant allele for a gene will have the dominant allele's version of the trait. So, the pea plant's phenotype for the pea shape trait must be round peas. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |

Question: [QUESTION]What is the expected ratio of offspring that have Marfan syndrome to offspring that do not have Marfan syndrome? Choose the most likely ratio.
Solution: To determine how many boxes in the Punnett square represent offspring that do or do not have Marfan syndrome, consider whether each phenotype is the dominant or recessive allele's version of the Marfan syndrome trait. The question tells you that the M allele, which is for having Marfan syndrome, is dominant over the m allele, which is for not having Marfan syndrome.
Having Marfan syndrome is the dominant allele's version of the Marfan syndrome trait. A human with the dominant version of the Marfan syndrome trait must have at least one dominant allele for the Marfan syndrome gene. So, offspring that have Marfan syndrome must have the genotype MM or Mm.
All 4 boxes in the Punnett square have the genotype MM or Mm.
Not having Marfan syndrome is the recessive allele's version of the Marfan syndrome trait. A human with the recessive version of the Marfan syndrome trait must have only recessive alleles for the Marfan syndrome gene. So, offspring that do not have Marfan syndrome must have the genotype mm.
There are 0 boxes in the Punnett square with the genotype mm.
So, the expected ratio of offspring that have Marfan syndrome to offspring that do not have Marfan syndrome is 4:0. This means that, based on the Punnett square, this cross will always produce offspring that have Marfan syndrome. This cross is expected to never produce offspring that do not have Marfan syndrome. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |

Last winter, Reid took a vacation to Florida to escape Boston's cold, snowy weather. In an ironic twist, a rare snowstorm happened to hit Florida that week.
The second text uses ironic in its nontraditional sense: marked by coincidence. It was a coincidence that Reid's friends were in Florida the week before.
Last winter, Reid took a vacation to Florida to escape Boston's cold, snowy weather. In an ironic twist, he just missed a few of his college friends, who had been in Florida the previous week.
Most style guides recommend to avoid using the nontraditional sense of the word ironic because it is generally considered incorrect. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |
