Question: [QUESTION]Select the organism in the same genus as the purple heron.
Solution: A purple heron's scientific name is Ardea purpurea. The first word of its scientific name is Ardea.
Crocodylus moreletii is in the genus Crocodylus. The first word of its scientific name is Crocodylus. So, Crocodylus moreletii and Ardea purpurea are not in the same genus.
Ardea cinerea is in the genus Ardea. The first word of its scientific name is Ardea. So, Ardea cinerea and Ardea purpurea are in the same genus.
Sarracenia purpurea and Ardea purpurea are not in the same genus.
These organisms are not in the same genus, but part of their scientific names is the same. Sarracenia purpurea and Ardea purpurea have the same species name within their genus, purpurea. But the first words of their scientific names are different. Sarracenia purpurea is in the genus Sarracenia, and Ardea purpurea is in the genus Ardea.

Question: [QUESTION]Based on this information, what is Kiera's phenotype for the sickle-cell disease trait?
Solution: Kiera's genotype for the sickle-cell disease gene is AA. Kiera's genotype of AA has only A allelles. The A allele is for not having sickle-cell disease. So, Kiera's phenotype for the sickle-cell disease trait must be not having sickle-cell disease.
To check this answer, consider whether Kiera's alleles are dominant or recessive. The allele for not having sickle-cell disease (A) is dominant over the allele for having sickle-cell disease (a). This means A is a dominant allele, and a is a recessive allele.
Kiera's genotype of AA has two dominant alleles. An organism with at least one dominant allele for a gene will have the dominant allele's version of the trait. So, Kiera's phenotype for the sickle-cell disease trait must be not having sickle-cell disease.

Question: [QUESTION]Based on this information, what is Sandy's phenotype for the body color trait?
Solution: Sandy's genotype for the body color gene is bb. Sandy's genotype of bb has only b alleles. The b allele is for a golden body. So, Sandy's phenotype for the body color trait must be a golden body.
To check this answer, consider whether Sandy's alleles are dominant or recessive. The allele for a gray body (B) is dominant over the allele for a golden body (b). This means B is a dominant allele, and b is a recessive allele.
Sandy's genotype of bb has only recessive alleles. An organism with only recessive alleles for a gene will have the recessive allele's version of the trait. So, Sandy's phenotype for the body color trait must be a golden body.
