Question: [QUESTION]Based on this information, what is Rascal's phenotype for the fur length trait?
Solution: Rascal's genotype for the fur length gene is ff. Rascal's genotype of ff has only f alleles. The f allele is for long fur. So, Rascal's phenotype for the fur length trait must be long fur.
To check this answer, consider whether Rascal's alleles are dominant or recessive. The allele for short fur (F) is dominant over the allele for long fur (f). This means F is a dominant allele, and f is a recessive allele.
Rascal'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, Rascal's phenotype for the fur length trait must be long fur. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |
Question: [QUESTION]Think about the magnetic force between the magnets in each pair. Which of the following statements is true?

Nothing I love more shows verbal irony because Mr. Taylor is probably upset that there isn't anything to eat. | 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 fluoromethanol contains four symbols: C for carbon, H for hydrogen, F for fluorine, and O for oxygen. So, fluoromethanol is made of four chemical elements bonded together. Substances that are made of two or more chemical elements bonded together are compounds. So, fluoromethanol is a compound, not an elementary substance. The chemical formula for helium contains one symbol: He. So, helium is made of one chemical element. Substances that are made of one chemical element are elementary substances. So, helium is an elementary substance. The chemical formula for boron trifluoride contains two symbols: B for boron and F for fluorine. So, boron trifluoride is made of two chemical elements bonded together. Substances that are made of two or more chemical elements bonded together are compounds. So, boron trifluoride is a compound, not an elementary substance. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |
Question: [QUESTION]Which figure of speech is used in this text?
I must have eaten too much of Sean's homemade chili, because now I'm so full I could explode!

Step 2: Look at each answer choice.
Both are only physical changes.
Both changes are physical changes. No new matter is created.
Both are chemical changes.
Both changes are physical changes. They are not chemical changes.
Both are caused by heating.
