Question: [QUESTION]What is the expected ratio of offspring with a gray body to offspring with a black body? Choose the most likely ratio.
Solution: To determine how many boxes in the Punnett square represent offspring with a gray body or a black body, consider whether each phenotype is the dominant or recessive allele's version of the body color trait. The question tells you that the B allele, which is for a gray body, is dominant over the b allele, which is for a black body.
A gray body is the dominant allele's version of the body color trait. A fruit fly with the dominant version of the body color trait must have at least one dominant allele for the body color gene. So, offspring with a gray body must have the genotype BB or Bb.
All 4 boxes in the Punnett square have the genotype BB or Bb.
A black body is the recessive allele's version of the body color trait. A fruit fly with the recessive version of the body color trait must have only recessive alleles for the body color gene. So, offspring with a black body must have the genotype bb.
There are 0 boxes in the Punnett square with the genotype bb.
So, the expected ratio of offspring with a gray body to offspring with a black body is 4:0. This means that, based on the Punnett square, this cross will always produce offspring with a gray body. This cross is expected to never produce offspring with a black body. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |

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 1 attract. The magnets in Pair 2 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.
Distance affects the magnitude of the magnetic force. When there is a greater distance between magnets, the magnitude of the magnetic force between them is smaller.
There is a greater distance between the magnets in Pair 2 than in Pair 1. So, the magnitude of the magnetic force is smaller in Pair 2 than in Pair 1. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |
Question: [QUESTION]Think about the magnetic force between the magnets in each pair. Which of the following statements is true?
Solution: Magnet sizes affect the magnitude of the magnetic force. Imagine magnets that are the same shape and made of the same material. The larger the magnets, the greater the magnitude of the magnetic force between them.
Magnet A is the same size in both pairs. But Magnet B is larger in Pair 1 than in Pair 2. So, the magnitude of the magnetic force is greater in Pair 1 than in Pair 2. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |

Question: [QUESTION]Complete the sentence.
The word "antebellum" means ().
Solution: Look at the underlined parts of the table.
All the words that use the root "ante" mean to come before something else. So, the root ante means "before."
All the words that use the root "bellum" mean to fight or cause war.So, the root bellum means "war."
So, the word "antebellum" means "before the war." The antebellum period is named for the war that followed it: the Civil War. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |
Question: [QUESTION]Which statement is true about the average monthly temperature in Riyadh?
Solution: To describe the average temperature trends in Riyadh, look at the graph.
Choice "Jun" is incorrect.
Choice "Jul" is incorrect.
Choice "Aug" is incorrect.
Choice "June, July, and August are colder than the other months of the year." is incorrect.
The average temperatures in June, July, and August are around 35°C. These months have the highest average temperatures of all of the months. So, they are hotter, not colder, than the other months.
Choice "Each month of the year has about the same monthly temperature." is incorrect.
Some months of the year have much higher temperatures than others. So, each month does not have the same temperature.
Choice "June, July, and August are hotter than the other months of the year." is incorrect.
The average temperatures in June, July, and August are around 35°C. These months have the highest average temperatures of all of the months. So, they are hotter than the other months. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |

Question: [QUESTION]Which animal's skin is better adapted as a warning sign to ward off predators?
Solution: Look at the picture of the blue poison dart frog.
The blue poison dart frog has poisonous glands in its brightly colored skin. Its skin is adapted to ward off predators. The bright colors serve as a warning sign that the blue poison dart frog is poisonous.
Now look at each animal. Figure out which animal has a similar adaptation.
The crown-of-thorns sea star has venomous spines and brightly colored skin. Its skin is adapted to ward off predators.
The impala has yellow-brown fur. Its skin is not adapted to be a warning sign that wards off predators. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |
