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 rhenium contains one atomic symbol: Re. So, rhenium is composed of only one chemical element. Therefore, rhenium is an elementary substance. The chemical formula for carbon dioxide contains two atomic symbols: C for carbon and O for oxygen. So, carbon dioxide is composed of two chemical elements bonded together. Because carbon dioxide is composed of multiple chemical elements bonded together, it is a compound, not an elementary substance. The chemical formula for ruthenium contains one atomic symbol: Ru. So, ruthenium is composed of only one chemical element. Therefore, ruthenium is an elementary substance. The chemical formula for dichloromethane contains three atomic symbols: C for carbon, H for hydrogen, and Cl for chlorine. So, dichloromethane is composed of three chemical elements bonded together. Because dichloromethane is composed of multiple chemical elements bonded together, it is a compound, not an elementary substance. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |

Question: [QUESTION]Based on this information, what is Ace's phenotype for the coat pattern trait?
Solution: You need to determine Ace's phenotype for the coat pattern trait. First, consider the alleles in Ace's genotype for the coat pattern gene. Then, decide whether these alleles are dominant or recessive.
The allele for white spots (a) is recessive to the allele for solid coloring (A). This means A is a dominant allele, and a is a recessive allele.
Ace's genotype of Aa 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, Ace's phenotype for the coat pattern trait must be solid coloring. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |

Question: [QUESTION]The Fifth Amendment talks about the rights of people who are accused of crimes. For example, it says that a person cannot be put on trial for the same crime more than once. Which is another right protected by the Fifth Amendment?
Solution: The Fifth Amendment says that a person cannot be put on trial for the same crime more than once. It also says that anyone accused of a crime has the right to remain silent. The right to remain silent is important when someone is accused of a crime. A person does not have to answer questions from the police. In fact, the police need to tell a person about the Fifth Amendment before questioning him or her. A person also does not have to speak at his or her own trial. Even if a person does speak, he or she can plead the Fifth to avoid answering any question. Part of the text of the Fifth Amendment is below. It does not use the words "right to remain silent." Where do you think that phrase comes from? Nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |
