Question: [QUESTION]Compare the average kinetic energies of the particles in each sample. Which sample has the higher temperature? Solution: Each particle in the two samples has the same mass, but the particles in sample A have a higher average speed than the particles in sample B. So, the particles in sample A have a higher average kinetic energy than the particles in sample B. Because the particles in sample A have the higher average kinetic energy, sample A must have the higher temperature.

Question: [QUESTION]Based on this information, what is Booster's phenotype for the horns trait? Solution: Booster's genotype for the horns gene is hh. Booster's genotype of hh has only h alleles. The h allele is for having horns. So, Booster's phenotype for the horns trait must be having horns. To check this answer, consider whether Booster's alleles are dominant or recessive. The allele for having horns (h) is recessive to the allele for not having horns (H). This means H is a dominant allele, and h is a recessive allele. Booster's genotype of hh has only recessive alleles. An organism with only recessive alleles for a gene will have the recessive allele's version of the trait. So, Booster's phenotype for the horns trait must be having horns.

Question: [QUESTION]Think about the magnetic force between the magnets in each pair. Which of the following statements is true? Solution: The magnets in Pair 2 attract. The magnets in Pair 1 repel. But whether the magnets attract or repel affects only the direction of the magnetic force. It does not affect the magnitude of the magnetic force. Magnet sizes affect the magnitude of the magnetic force. Imagine magnets that are the same shape and made of the same material. The smaller the magnets, the smaller the magnitude of the magnetic force between them. Magnet A is the same size in both pairs. But Magnet B is smaller in Pair 1 than in Pair 2. So, the magnitude of the magnetic force is smaller in Pair 1 than in Pair 2.
