Question: [QUESTION]Select the organism in the same species as the blue jay.
Solution: A blue jay's scientific name is Cyanocitta cristata.
Cyanocitta cristata is in the same genus as Cyanocitta stelleri, but they are not in the same species.
Organisms in the same species have the same scientific names. Cyanocitta cristata and Cyanocitta stelleri are different species within the same genus.
Pelecanus occidentalis does not have the same scientific name as a blue jay. So, Cyanocitta cristata and Pelecanus occidentalis are not in the same species.
Cyanocitta cristata has the same scientific name as a blue jay. So, these organisms are in the same species.

Question: [QUESTION]Is the following statement about our solar system true or false?
The volume of Mars is more than ten times as large as Mercury's.
Solution: To determine if this statement is true, calculate the value of ten times the volume of Mercury.
Then compare the result to the volume of Mars. The volume of Mars is 1.63 x 10^11 km^3, which is less than 6.08 x 10^11 km^3. So, the volume of Mars is less than ten times as large as Mercury's.

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.
Magnet sizes affect the magnitude of the magnetic force. Imagine magnets that are the same shape and made of the same material. The smaller the magnets, the smaller the magnitude of the magnetic force between them.
Magnet A is the same size in both pairs. But Magnet B is smaller in Pair 1 than in Pair 2. So, the magnitude of the magnetic force is smaller in Pair 1 than in Pair 2.

Question: [QUESTION]Compare the average kinetic energies of the particles in each sample. Which sample has the higher temperature?
Solution: The particles in both samples have the same average speed, but each particle in sample B has more mass than each particle in sample A. So, the particles in sample B have a higher average kinetic energy than the particles in sample A.
Because the particles in sample B have the higher average kinetic energy, sample B must have the higher temperature.

Question: [QUESTION]In this food web, which organism contains matter that eventually moves to the bat star?
Solution: Use the arrows to follow how matter moves through this food web. For each answer choice, try to find a path of arrows to the bat star.There is one path matter can take from the black rockfish to the bat star: black rockfish->kelp bass->bat star. There is one path matter can take from the kelp to the bat star: kelp->kelp bass->bat star. There are four paths matter can take from the phytoplankton to the bat star: phytoplankton->zooplankton->kelp bass->bat star. phytoplankton->zooplankton->plainfin midshipman->kelp bass->bat star. phytoplankton->zooplankton->black rockfish->kelp bass->bat star. phytoplankton->plainfin midshipman->kelp bass->bat star. orca. The only arrow pointing from the orca leads to the sea cucumber. No arrows point from the sea cucumber to any other organisms. So, in this food web, matter does not move from the orca to the bat star..

Question: [QUESTION]Compare the average kinetic energies of the particles in each sample. Which sample has the higher temperature?
Solution: Each particle in the two samples has the same mass, but the particles in sample A 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.

Question: [QUESTION]Which solution has a higher concentration of pink particles?
Solution: In Solution A and Solution B, the pink particles represent the solute. To figure out which solution has a higher concentration of pink particles, look at both the number of pink particles and the volume of the solvent in each container.
Use the concentration formula to find the number of pink particles per milliliter.
Solution A and Solution B have the same number of pink particles per milliliter. So, their concentrations are the same.

Question: [QUESTION]What is the expected ratio of offspring with bright orange cheeks to offspring with pale orange cheeks? Choose the most likely ratio.
Solution: To determine how many boxes in the Punnett square represent offspring with bright orange cheeks or pale orange cheeks, consider whether each phenotype is the dominant or recessive allele's version of the cheek color trait. The question tells you that the R allele, which is for bright orange cheeks, is dominant over the r allele, which is for pale orange cheeks.
Bright orange cheeks is the dominant allele's version of the cheek color trait. A cockatiel with the dominant version of the cheek color trait must have at least one dominant allele for the cheek color gene. So, offspring with bright orange cheeks must have the genotype RR or Rr.
There are 3 boxes in the Punnett square with the genotype RR or Rr. These boxes are highlighted below.
Pale orange cheeks is the recessive allele's version of the cheek color trait. A cockatiel with the recessive version of the cheek color trait must have only recessive alleles for the cheek color gene. So, offspring with pale orange cheeks must have the genotype rr.
There is 1 box in the Punnett square with the genotype rr. This box is highlighted below.
So, the expected ratio of offspring with bright orange cheeks to offspring with pale orange cheeks is 3:1. This means that, on average, this cross will produce 3 offspring with bright orange cheeks for every 1 offspring with pale orange cheeks.

Question: [QUESTION]Based on this information, what is Dallas's phenotype for the coat color trait?
Solution: You need to determine Dallas's phenotype for the coat color trait. First, consider the alleles in Dallas's genotype for the coat color gene. Then, decide whether these alleles are dominant or recessive.
The allele for a red coat (l) is recessive to the allele for a black coat (L). This means L is a dominant allele, and l is a recessive allele.
Dallas's genotype of Ll 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, Dallas's phenotype for the coat color trait must be a black coat.

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 2 attract. The magnets in Pair 1 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 smaller distance between magnets, the magnitude of the magnetic force between them is greater.
There is a smaller distance between the magnets in Pair 2 than in Pair 1. So, the magnitude of the magnetic force is greater in Pair 2 than in Pair 1.
