Question: [QUESTION]Based on this information, what is Gruff's phenotype for the fur texture trait? Solution: Gruff's genotype for the fur texture gene is ff. Gruff's genotype of ff has only f alleles. The f allele is for soft fur. So, Gruff's phenotype for the fur texture trait must be soft fur. To check this answer, consider whether Gruff's alleles are dominant or recessive. The allele for rough fur (F) is dominant over the allele for soft fur (f). This means F is a dominant allele, and f is a recessive allele. Gruff's genotype of ff has only recessive alleles. An organism with only recessive alleles for a gene will have the recessive allele's version of the trait. So, Gruff's phenotype for the fur texture trait must be soft fur.

So, an omnivore has arrows pointing to it from at least one producer and at least one consumer. The phytoplankton does not have any arrows pointing to it. So, the phytoplankton is not an omnivore. The plainfin midshipman has an arrow pointing to it from the phytoplankton, which is a producer. The plainfin midshipman also has an arrow pointing to it from the zooplankton, which is a consumer. The plainfin midshipman eats a producer and a consumer, so it is an omnivore. The kelp does not have any arrows pointing to it. So, the kelp is not an omnivore. The kelp bass has an arrow pointing to it from the kelp, which is a producer. The kelp bass also has arrows pointing to it from the zooplankton, the plainfin midshipman, and the black rockfish, which are consumers. The kelp bass eats a producer and consumers, so it is an omnivore. The sea urchin has only one arrow pointing to it. This arrow starts from the kelp, which is a producer.

Question: [QUESTION]Based on this information, what is Cheyenne's phenotype for the horns trait? Solution: Cheyenne's genotype for the horns gene is HH. Cheyenne's genotype of HH has only H allelles. The H allele is for not having horns. So, Cheyenne's phenotype for the horns trait must be not having horns. To check this answer, consider whether Cheyenne's alleles are dominant or recessive. The allele for not having horns (H) is dominant over the allele for having horns (h). This means H is a dominant allele, and h is a recessive allele. Cheyenne's genotype of HH 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, Cheyenne's phenotype for the horns trait must be not having horns.

After having lived near the airport for ten years, I've finally gotten accustomed to the dull roar of the planes taking off above my house. Solution: The text uses an oxymoron, a joining of two seemingly contradictory terms. Dull roar is a contradiction, because dull describes something muffled or soft, and a roar is loud.

Question: [QUESTION]Select the organism in the same species as the American bullfrog. Solution: An American bullfrog's scientific name is Lithobates catesbeianus. Hemidactylus turcicus does not have the same scientific name as an American bullfrog. So, Lithobates catesbeianus and Hemidactylus turcicus are not in the same species. Lithobates catesbeianus has the same scientific name as an American bullfrog. So, these organisms are in the same species. Bufo guttatus does not have the same scientific name as an American bullfrog. So, Lithobates catesbeianus and Bufo guttatus are not in the same species.
