Question: [QUESTION]Complete the sentence.
The Thingvellir Rift Valley formed at a () boundary.
Solution: To figure out what type of plate boundary formed the Thingvellir Rift Valley, you need to know how the tectonic plates interacted. To find this out, read the passage carefully.
In Iceland, parts of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge are above sea level. The Thingvellir Rift Valley is one example. This rift valley began to form as the North American Plate and the Eurasian Plate moved away from each other. In this picture, you can see the gap that formed during a major plate movement along the rift. Gaps such as this form when the two plates move apart, creating a large crack in the crust. The last time this happened in the Thingvellir Rift Valley was in the spring of 1789. Since then, a walking path was built along the rift valley to allow park visitors to walk along the rift.
The underlined part of the passage explains that the Thingvellir Rift Valley formed as the two plates moved away from each other, or diverged. So, the Thingvellir Rift Valley formed at a divergent boundary. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |

Question: [QUESTION]What is the expected ratio of offspring that have myotonia congenita to offspring that do not have myotonia congenita? Choose the most likely ratio.
Solution: To determine how many boxes in the Punnett square represent offspring that do or do not have myotonia congenita, consider whether each phenotype is the dominant or recessive allele's version of the myotonia congenita trait. The question tells you that the m allele, which is for not having myotonia congenita, is recessive to the M allele, which is for having myotonia congenita.
Having myotonia congenita is the dominant allele's version of the myotonia congenita trait. A goat with the dominant version of the myotonia congenita trait must have at least one dominant allele for the myotonia congenita gene. So, offspring that have myotonia congenita must have the genotype MM or Mm.
There are 2 boxes in the Punnett square with the genotype MM or Mm. These boxes are highlighted below.
Not having myotonia congenita is the recessive allele's version of the myotonia congenita trait. A goat with the recessive version of the myotonia congenita trait must have only recessive alleles for the myotonia congenita gene. So, offspring that do not have myotonia congenita must have the genotype mm.
There are 2 boxes in the Punnett square with the genotype mm. These boxes are highlighted below.
So, the expected ratio of offspring that have myotonia congenita to offspring that do not have myotonia congenita is 2:2. This means that, on average, this cross will produce 2 offspring that have myotonia congenita for every 2 offspring that do not have myotonia congenita. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |

Question: [QUESTION]Read the following excerpt from a student essay. How can the writer best improve his or her organization?
Many students, parents, and teachers cringe at the idea of sending kids to school year-round, but it would improve academic performance. Lengthy summer vacations were not established to accommodate farming schedules, as most people assume; they were started so that wealthy families could leave the city in the hot summer months and vacation in the country. Studies have shown that as a result of "summer slide," many students returning to school in the fall have forgotten what they learned the previous year. Year-round school would provide consistency and help students learn more.
Solution: The writer could best improve his or her organization by removing text unrelated to the main idea.
For example, the writer could remove the underlined sentence, which isn't clearly related to the main idea—the benefits of year-round school.

Question: [QUESTION]Based on this information, what is Jinx's phenotype for the fur type trait?
Solution: You need to determine Jinx's phenotype for the fur type trait. First, consider the alleles in Jinx's genotype for the fur type gene. Then, decide whether these alleles are dominant or recessive.
The allele for straight fur (F) is dominant over the allele for curly fur (f). This means F is a dominant allele, and f is a recessive allele.
Jinx's genotype of Ff has one dominant allele and one recessive allele. An organism with at least one dominant allele for a gene will have the dominant allele's version of the trait. So, Jinx's phenotype for the fur type trait must be straight fur. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |
