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

Solution: Primary consumers eat producers. So, in a food web, primary consumers have arrows pointing to them from producers.
The rotifer has an arrow pointing to it from the green algae. The green algae is a producer, so the rotifer is a primary consumer.
The copepod has an arrow pointing to it from the golden algae. The golden algae is a producer, so the copepod is a primary consumer.
The black crappie has arrows pointing to it from the water flea, the rotifer, and the shiner. None of these organisms is a produce, so the black crappie is not a primary consumer.
The bacteria have arrows pointing to them from the copepod and the shiner. Neither the copepod nor the shiner is a producer, so the bacteria are not primary consumers. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |
Question: [QUESTION]Which animal is also adapted to use its neck to appear large and scary to a predator?
Solution: Look at the picture of the frillneck lizard.
When frightened, the frillneck lizard can spread out its frill to appear larger and more dangerous. If a predator is nearby, the frill can help scare it away.
Now look at each animal. Figure out which animal has a similar adaptation.
The Mozambique spitting cobra has a hood around its neck. It uses its neck to appear larger and more dangerous to a predator.
The eastern ribbon snake has a narrow neck. Its neck is not adapted to help it appear larger and more dangerous to a predator. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |
