Question: [QUESTION]What is the expected ratio of offspring with mostly plain scales to offspring with mostly iridescent scales? Choose the most likely ratio.
Solution: To determine how many boxes in the Punnett square represent offspring with mostly plain scales or mostly iridescent scales, consider whether each phenotype is the dominant or recessive allele's version of the iridescent scales trait. The question tells you that the I allele, which is for mostly iridescent scales, is dominant over the i allele, which is for mostly plain scales.
Mostly plain scales is the recessive allele's version of the iridescent scales trait. A betta with the recessive version of the iridescent scales trait must have only recessive alleles for the iridescent scales gene. So, offspring with mostly plain scales must have the genotype ii.
There is 1 box in the Punnett square with the genotype ii. This box is highlighted below.
Mostly iridescent scales is the dominant allele's version of the iridescent scales trait. A betta with the dominant version of the iridescent scales trait must have at least one dominant allele for the iridescent scales gene. So, offspring with mostly iridescent scales must have the genotype II or Ii.
There are 3 boxes in the Punnett square with the genotype II or Ii. These boxes are highlighted below.
So, the expected ratio of offspring with mostly plain scales to offspring with mostly iridescent scales is 1:3. This means that, on average, this cross will produce 1 offspring with mostly plain scales for every 3 offspring with mostly iridescent scales. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |
Question: [QUESTION]Which animal's legs are also adapted for wading?

Now look at each animal. Figure out which animal has a similar adaptation.
The purple gallinule has long, thin toes on its feet. Its feet are adapted for walking on floating leaves.
The Magellan penguin has webbed feet. Its feet are not adapted for walking on floating leaves. The Magellan penguin uses its feet to walk and swim. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |
Question: [QUESTION]Complete the sentence.
The Great Himalayas formed at a () boundary.
Solution: To figure out what type of plate boundary formed the Great Himalayas, you need to know how the tectonic plates interacted. To find this out, read the passage carefully.
The Great Himalayas are a mountain range that stretches across northern India, Nepal, and neighboring countries. The mountain range began to form 40 to 50 million years ago as the Indo-Australian Plate collided with the Eurasian Plate. Because the plates are still colliding, the mountains in the Great Himalayas continue to rise. Each year, they grow over one centimeter taller.
The underlined part of the passage explains that the Great Himalayas formed as the two plates collided, or ran into each other. For two plates to collide, they must be moving toward each other. So, the Great Himalayas formed at a convergent boundary. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |
Question: [QUESTION]Which solution has a higher concentration of purple particles?

Question: [QUESTION]Based on this information, what is Ringo's phenotype for the fur color trait?
Solution: You need to determine Ringo's phenotype for the fur color trait. First, consider the alleles in Ringo's genotype for the fur color gene. Then, decide whether these alleles are dominant or recessive.
The allele for dark fur (F) is dominant over the allele for light fur (f). This means F is a dominant allele, and f is a recessive allele.
Ringo'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, Ringo's phenotype for the fur color trait must be dark fur. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |
Question: [QUESTION]Select the organism in the same species as the Canada lynx.

Question: [QUESTION]What do these two changes have in common?
milk going sour
deep-frying chicken
Solution: Step 1: Think about each change.
Milk going sour is a chemical change. The type of matter in the milk slowly changes. The new matter that is formed gives the milk its sour taste.
Deep-frying chicken is a chemical change. The heat causes the matter in the chicken to change. Cooked chicken and raw chicken are different types of matter.
Step 2: Look at each answer choice.
Both are only physical changes.
Both changes are chemical changes. They are not physical changes.
Both are chemical changes.
Both changes are chemical changes. The type of matter before and after each change is different.
Both are caused by heating.
Cooking is caused by heating. But milk going sour is not.
Both are caused by cooling.
Neither change is caused by cooling. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |
Question: [QUESTION]Select the chemical formula for this molecule.
Solution: H is the symbol for hydrogen. According to the legend, hydrogen atoms are shown in light gray. I is the symbol for iodine. According to the legend, iodine atoms are shown in dark purple. This ball-and-stick model shows a molecule with one hydrogen atom and one iodine atom. The chemical formula will contain the symbols H and I. There is one hydrogen atom, so H will not have a subscript. There is one iodine atom, so I will not have a subscript. The correct formula is HI. The diagram below shows how each part of the chemical formula matches with each part of the model above. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |
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 sulfur dioxide contains two symbols: S for sulfur and O for oxygen. So, sulfur dioxide is made of two chemical elements bonded together. Substances that are made of two or more chemical elements bonded together are compounds. So, sulfur dioxide is a compound, not an elementary substance. The chemical formula for silane contains two symbols: Si for silicon and H for hydrogen. So, silane is made of two chemical elements bonded together. Substances that are made of two or more chemical elements bonded together are compounds. So, silane is a compound, not an elementary substance. The chemical formula for titanium contains one symbol: Ti. So, titanium is made of one chemical element. Substances that are made of one chemical element are elementary substances. So, titanium is an elementary substance. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |
Question: [QUESTION]Which logical fallacy is used in the text?
Frankly, most science fiction is poorly written. I read a science fiction novel once, and it was garbage, so I've avoided the genre ever since.
Solution: The text argues that science fiction is of poor quality because one science fiction novel was poorly written. However, one novel does not necessarily reflect the whole genre. This illustrates a type of logical fallacy known as a hasty generalization. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |
