Question: [QUESTION]Based on this information, what is Zuri's phenotype for the coat pattern trait? Solution: Zuri's genotype for the coat pattern gene is aa. Zuri's genotype of aa has only a alleles. The a allele is for a black coat. So, Zuri's phenotype for the coat pattern trait must be a black coat. To check this answer, consider whether Zuri's alleles are dominant or recessive. The allele for a black coat (a) is recessive to the allele for a spotted coat (A). This means A is a dominant allele, and a is a recessive allele. Zuri's genotype of aa has only recessive alleles. An organism with only recessive alleles for a gene will have the recessive allele's version of the trait. So, Zuri's phenotype for the coat pattern trait must be a black coat.

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

Question: [QUESTION]What do these two changes have in common? plants making food from sunlight, air, and water a piece of avocado turning brown Solution: Step 1: Think about each change. Plants making food is a chemical change. Plants use energy from sunlight to change air and water into food. The food is sugar. Sugar is a different type of matter than air or water. A piece of avocado turning brown is a chemical change. The avocado reacts with oxygen in the air to form a different type of matter. If you scrape off the brown part of the avocado, the inside will still be green. The inside hasn't touched the air. So the chemical change hasn't happened to that part of the avocado. Step 2: Look at each answer choice. Both are only physical changes. Both changes are chemical changes. They are not physical changes. Both are chemical changes. Both changes are chemical changes. The type of matter before and after each change is different. Both are caused by heating. Neither change is caused by heating. Both are caused by cooling. Neither change is caused by cooling.
