Question: [QUESTION]What is the expected ratio of offspring with regular leaves to offspring with potato leaves? Choose the most likely ratio. Solution: To determine how many boxes in the Punnett square represent offspring with regular leaves or potato leaves, consider whether each phenotype is the dominant or recessive allele's version of the leaf type trait. The question tells you that the L allele, which is for regular leaves, is dominant over the l allele, which is for potato leaves. Regular leaves is the dominant allele's version of the leaf type trait. A tomato plant with the dominant version of the leaf type trait must have at least one dominant allele for the leaf type gene. So, offspring with regular leaves must have the genotype LL or Ll. All 4 boxes in the Punnett square have the genotype LL or Ll. Potato leaves is the recessive allele's version of the leaf type trait. A tomato plant with the recessive version of the leaf type trait must have only recessive alleles for the leaf type gene. So, offspring with potato leaves must have the genotype ll. There are 0 boxes in the Punnett square with the genotype ll. So, the expected ratio of offspring with regular leaves to offspring with potato leaves is 4:0. This means that, based on the Punnett square, this cross will always produce offspring with regular leaves. This cross is expected to never produce offspring with potato leaves.

Question: [QUESTION]What is the expected ratio of offspring with a hairy body to offspring with a hairless body? Choose the most likely ratio. Solution: To determine how many boxes in the Punnett square represent offspring with a hairy body or a hairless body, consider whether each phenotype is the dominant or recessive allele's version of the body hair trait. The question tells you that the B allele, which is for a hairy body, is dominant over the b allele, which is for a hairless body. A hairy body is the dominant allele's version of the body hair trait. A deer mouse with the dominant version of the body hair trait must have at least one dominant allele for the body hair gene. So, offspring with a hairy body must have the genotype BB or Bb. All 4 boxes in the Punnett square have the genotype BB or Bb. A hairless body is the recessive allele's version of the body hair trait. A deer mouse with the recessive version of the body hair trait must have only recessive alleles for the body hair gene. So, offspring with a hairless body must have the genotype bb. There are 0 boxes in the Punnett square with the genotype bb. So, the expected ratio of offspring with a hairy body to offspring with a hairless body is 4:0. This means that, based on the Punnett square, this cross will always produce offspring with a hairy body. This cross is expected to never produce offspring with a hairless body.

Question: [QUESTION]Based on this information, what is this plant's phenotype for the fruit sheen trait? Solution: The cucumber plant's genotype for the fruit sheen gene is ff. The cucumber plant's genotype of ff has only f alleles. The f allele is for glossy fruit. So, the cucumber plant's phenotype for the fruit sheen trait must be glossy fruit. To check this answer, consider whether the cucumber plant's alleles are dominant or recessive. The allele for dull fruit (F) is dominant over the allele for glossy fruit (f). This means F is a dominant allele, and f is a recessive allele. The cucumber plant'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, the cucumber plant's phenotype for the fruit sheen trait must be glossy fruit.

Question: [QUESTION]Think about the magnetic force between the magnets in each pair. Which of the following statements is true? Solution: The magnets in Pair 2 attract. The magnets in Pair 1 repel. But whether the magnets attract or repel affects only the direction of the magnetic force. It does not affect the magnitude of the magnetic force. Distance affects the magnitude of the magnetic force. When there is a smaller distance between magnets, the magnitude of the magnetic force between them is greater. There is a smaller distance between the magnets in Pair 2 than in Pair 1. So, the magnitude of the magnetic force is greater in Pair 2 than in Pair 1.
