Question: [QUESTION]Based on this information, what is Amos's phenotype for the body size trait? Solution: You need to determine Amos's phenotype for the body size trait. First, consider the alleles in Amos's genotype for the body size gene. Then, decide whether these alleles are dominant or recessive. The allele for a dwarf body (b) is recessive to the allele for a normal-sized body (B). This means B is a dominant allele, and b is a recessive allele. Amos's genotype of Bb 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, Amos's phenotype for the body size trait must be a normal-sized body.

Tearing a piece of paper is a physical change. The paper tears into pieces. But each piece is still made of paper. Shaking up salad dressing is a physical change. The different parts mix together, but they are still made of the same type of matter. 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. Neither change is caused by heating. Both are caused by cooling. Neither change is caused by cooling.

Question: [QUESTION]Compare the average kinetic energies of the particles in each sample. Which sample has the higher temperature? Solution: Each particle in sample A has more mass than each particle in sample B. The particles in sample A also 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.
