Question: [QUESTION]Based on this information, what is Nibbles's phenotype for the body size trait?
Solution: Nibbles's genotype for the body size gene is BB. Nibbles's genotype of BB has only B allelles. The B allele is for a normal-sized body. So, Nibbles's phenotype for the body size trait must be a normal-sized body.
To check this answer, consider whether Nibbles's alleles are dominant or recessive. The allele for a normal-sized body (B) is dominant over the allele for a dwarf body (b). This means B is a dominant allele, and b is a recessive allele.
Nibbles's genotype of BB 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, Nibbles's phenotype for the body size trait must be a normal-sized body. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |

Question: [QUESTION]Why might covering its eggs with its body increase the reproductive success of a snail leech? Complete the claim below that answers this question and is best supported by the passage.
Covering its eggs with its body increases the chances that ().
Solution: Look for the part of the passage that describes the effect of covering its eggs with its body. Use this information to determine why this behavior can increase the reproductive success of the snail leech.
Choice "The snail leech is a type of worm that often lives in freshwater streams. After a snail leech reproduces, it attaches its eggs to a rock at the bottom of the stream. The leech then flattens its body over its eggs to protect them. The leech protects its eggs until they hatch, which takes four to seven days. During this time, the leech does not leave the eggs or eat." is incorrect.
Choice "Water snails are predators that eat leech eggs. The snails easily eat eggs that are not covered by an adult leech. But snails cannot easily get to eggs that are covered by a leech." is incorrect.
Choice "Choice "Covering its eggs with its body increases the chances that the leech's eggs will hatch." is incorrect." is correct.
Choice "According to the underlined text, it is harder for water snails to eat eggs when the eggs are covered by a leech. So, by covering its eggs, the leech decreases the chances that snails will eat its eggs. This increases the chances that the leech's eggs will hatch, which can increase the leech's reproductive success." is incorrect.
Choice "Choice "Covering its eggs with its body increases the chances that the leech will not eat for up to a week." is incorrect." is incorrect.
Choice "Covering its eggs with its body will increase the chances that the leech will not eat. But the passage does not support the claim that the leech can increase its reproductive success by not eating. Not eating could harm or kill the leech. This could decrease its reproductive success." is incorrect.
Choice "Choice "Covering its eggs with its body increases the chances that the leech will fight a water snail." is incorrect." is incorrect.
Choice "To increase its reproductive success, the leech needs to have offspring that survive to reproduce. Fighting a water snail does not directly increase the leech's chances of producing offspring that survive to reproduce. So, fighting a water snail is not why covering its eggs increases the leech's reproductive success." is incorrect. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |
