Question: [QUESTION]Select the elementary substance.
Solution: Look at the chemical formula for each substance, and count the number of symbols in the formula. Then, decide if the substance is an elementary substance. The chemical formula for fluoromethane contains three symbols: C for carbon, H for hydrogen, and F for fluorine. So, fluoromethane is made of three chemical elements bonded together. Substances that are made of two or more chemical elements bonded together are compounds. So, fluoromethane is a compound, not an elementary substance. The chemical formula for hydrogen sulfide contains two symbols: H for hydrogen and S for sulfur. So, hydrogen sulfide is made of two chemical elements bonded together. Substances that are made of two or more chemical elements bonded together are compounds. So, hydrogen sulfide is a compound, not an elementary substance.

Question: [QUESTION]What is the expected ratio of offspring with mirror scales to offspring with normal scales? Choose the most likely ratio.
Solution: To determine how many boxes in the Punnett square represent offspring with mirror scales or normal scales, consider whether each phenotype is the dominant or recessive allele's version of the scale type trait. The question tells you that the A allele, which is for normal scales, is dominant over the a allele, which is for mirror scales.
Mirror scales is the recessive allele's version of the scale type trait. A common carp with the recessive version of the scale type trait must have only recessive alleles for the scale type gene. So, offspring with mirror scales must have the genotype aa.
All 4 boxes in the Punnett square have the genotype aa.
Normal scales is the dominant allele's version of the scale type trait. A common carp with the dominant version of the scale type trait must have at least one dominant allele for the scale type gene. So, offspring with normal scales must have the genotype AA or Aa.
There are 0 boxes in the Punnett square with the genotype AA or Aa.
So, the expected ratio of offspring with mirror scales to offspring with normal scales is 4:0. This means that, based on the Punnett square, this cross will always produce offspring with mirror scales. This cross is expected to never produce offspring with normal scales. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |

Question: [QUESTION]What is the expected ratio of offspring with sweet fruit to offspring with sour fruit? Choose the most likely ratio.
Solution: To determine how many boxes in the Punnett square represent offspring with sweet fruit or sour fruit, consider whether each phenotype is the dominant or recessive allele's version of the fruit taste trait. The question tells you that the F allele, which is for sour fruit, is dominant over the f allele, which is for sweet fruit.
Sweet fruit is the recessive allele's version of the fruit taste trait. A muskmelon plant with the recessive version of the fruit taste trait must have only recessive alleles for the fruit taste gene. So, offspring with sweet fruit must have the genotype ff.
There are 2 boxes in the Punnett square with the genotype ff. These boxes are highlighted below.
Sour fruit is the dominant allele's version of the fruit taste trait. A muskmelon plant with the dominant version of the fruit taste trait must have at least one dominant allele for the fruit taste gene. So, offspring with sour fruit must have the genotype FF or Ff.
There are 2 boxes in the Punnett square with the genotype FF or Ff. These boxes are highlighted below.
So, the expected ratio of offspring with sweet fruit to offspring with sour fruit is 2:2. This means that, on average, this cross will produce 2 offspring with sweet fruit for every 2 offspring with sour fruit. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |
