Question: [QUESTION]Based on this information, what is Nutmeg's phenotype for the fur texture trait?
Solution: Nutmeg's genotype for the fur texture gene is ff. Nutmeg's genotype of ff has only f alleles. The f allele is for wavy fur. So, Nutmeg's phenotype for the fur texture trait must be wavy fur.
To check this answer, consider whether Nutmeg's alleles are dominant or recessive. The allele for wavy fur (f) is recessive to the allele for straight fur (F). This means F is a dominant allele, and f is a recessive allele.
Nutmeg'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, Nutmeg's phenotype for the fur texture trait must be wavy fur. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |

Solution: Look for the part of the passage that describes the effect of guarding the nest. Use this information to determine why this behavior can increase the reproductive success of the female long-tailed sun skink.
Choice "Long-tailed sun skinks are lizards that live in southeast Asia. Most female skinks abandon their nests after laying eggs. But female skinks that live on a particular island with many egg-eating snakes behave differently. These skinks may guard their nests for several days after laying eggs." is incorrect.
Choice "When female skinks on the island guard their nests, fewer eggs are eaten by egg-eating snakes. If a female is at her nest when a snake approaches, she will attack the snake. Often, she can wrestle the snake out of her nest and away from her eggs." is incorrect.
Choice "Choice "Guarding the nest increases the chances that the female's eggs will hatch." is incorrect." is correct.
Choice "According to the underlined text, predators eat fewer eggs when the eggs are guarded by female skinks. So, by guarding her nest, the female skink decreases the chances that snakes will eat her eggs. This increases the chances that the female's eggs will hatch, which can increase her reproductive success." is incorrect.
Choice "Choice "Guarding the nest increases the chances that the female will be injured by a snake." is incorrect." is incorrect.
Choice "Guarding her nest may increase the chances that the female skink will be injured by a snake. But the passage does not support the claim that the female can increase her reproductive success by being injured by a snake. An injury could kill or permanently harm the female skink. This could decrease her reproductive success." is incorrect.
Choice "Choice "Guarding the nest increases the chances that the female will lay more eggs." is incorrect." is incorrect.
Choice "Laying more eggs could increase the chances that the female skink will have more offspring. This could increase her reproductive success. But the passage does not discuss the chances that the female will lay more eggs. So, the passage does not support this claim." is incorrect. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |
