Question: [QUESTION]Think about the magnetic force between the magnets in each pair. Which of the following statements is true?
Solution: Distance affects the strength of the magnetic force. When magnets are closer together, the magnetic force between them is stronger.
The magnets in Pair 1 are closer together than the magnets in Pair 2. So, the magnetic force is stronger in Pair 1 than in Pair 2.

Question: [QUESTION]Which animal is also adapted to be camouflaged in the snow?
Solution: Look at the picture of the ptarmigan.
During the winter, the ptarmigan has white feathers covering its body. It is adapted to be camouflaged in the snow. The word camouflage means to blend in.
Now look at each animal. Figure out which animal has a similar adaptation.
During the winter, the Arctic fox has white fur covering its body. It is adapted to be camouflaged in the snow.
The echidna has a yellow and brown body. It is not adapted to be camouflaged in the snow.

Question: [QUESTION]Select the organism in the same genus as the Chinese alligator.
Solution: A Chinese alligator's scientific name is Alligator sinensis. The first word of its scientific name is Alligator.
Eriocheir sinensis and Alligator sinensis are not in the same genus.
These organisms are not in the same genus, but part of their scientific names is the same. Eriocheir sinensis and Alligator sinensis have the same species name within their genus, sinensis. But the first words of their scientific names are different. Eriocheir sinensis is in the genus Eriocheir, and Alligator sinensis is in the genus Alligator.
Hyla japonica is in the genus Hyla. The first word of its scientific name is Hyla. So, Hyla japonica and Alligator sinensis are not in the same genus.
Alligator mississippiensis is in the genus Alligator. The first word of its scientific name is Alligator. So, Alligator mississippiensis and Alligator sinensis are in the same genus.

Question: [QUESTION]Which country is highlighted?
Solution: This country is the Dominican Republic.
Why does the Dominican Republic share its island with another country?
The Dominican Republic and Haiti share the island of Hispaniola. It is home to the earliest European settlements in the Americas. Christopher Columbus founded the first European settlement on the island in 1492 during his first voyage across the Atlantic.
Though many people lived on the island before Columbus's arrival, European countries quickly began to colonize the island. Eventually France and Spain both established colonies. The Spanish colony eventually became the country of the Dominican Republic, and the French colony eventually became the country of Haiti. Today, people in the two countries speak different languages and have many cultural differences.

Question: [QUESTION]What is the expected ratio of offspring with red fruit to offspring with yellow fruit? Choose the most likely ratio.
Solution: To determine how many boxes in the Punnett square represent offspring with red fruit or yellow fruit, consider whether each phenotype is the dominant or recessive allele's version of the fruit color trait. The question tells you that the f allele, which is for yellow fruit, is recessive to the F allele, which is for red fruit.
Red fruit is the dominant allele's version of the fruit color trait. A tomato plant with the dominant version of the fruit color trait must have at least one dominant allele for the fruit color gene. So, offspring with red fruit must have the genotype FF or Ff.
All 4 boxes in the Punnett square have the genotype FF or Ff.
Yellow fruit is the recessive allele's version of the fruit color trait. A tomato plant with the recessive version of the fruit color trait must have only recessive alleles for the fruit color gene. So, offspring with yellow fruit must have the genotype ff.
There are 0 boxes in the Punnett square with the genotype ff.
So, the expected ratio of offspring with red fruit to offspring with yellow fruit is 4:0. This means that, based on the Punnett square, this cross will always produce offspring with red fruit. This cross is expected to never produce offspring with yellow fruit.

Boron trichloride is ().
Solution: You can tell whether boron trichloride is an elementary substance or a compound by counting the number of symbols in its chemical formula. A symbol contains either one capital letter or a capital letter followed by one or two lowercase letters.
The chemical formula for boron trichloride is BCl3. This formula contains two symbols: B for boron and Cl for chlorine. So, the formula tells you that boron trichloride is made of two chemical elements bonded together.
Substances made of two or more chemical elements bonded together are compounds. So, boron trichloride is a compound.

Question: [QUESTION]Based on this information, what is Dolly's phenotype for the coat graying trait?
Solution: Dolly's genotype for the coat graying gene is gg. Dolly's genotype of gg has only g alleles. The g allele is for not having a graying coat. So, Dolly's phenotype for the coat graying trait must be not having a graying coat.
To check this answer, consider whether Dolly's alleles are dominant or recessive. The allele for having a graying coat (G) is dominant over the allele for not having a graying coat (g). This means G is a dominant allele, and g is a recessive allele.
Dolly's genotype of gg has only recessive alleles. An organism with only recessive alleles for a gene will have the recessive allele's version of the trait. So, Dolly's phenotype for the coat graying trait must be not having a graying coat.
