What is the expected ratio of offspring with yellow peas to offspring with green peas? Choose the most likely ratio.
[ "4:0", "0:4", "2:2", "3:1", "1:3" ]
2
In a group of pea plants, some individuals have yellow peas and others have green peas. In this group, the gene for the pea color trait has two alleles. The allele for green peas (e) is recessive to the allele for yellow peas (E). This Punnett square shows a cross between two pea plants.

Offspring phenotypes: dominant or recessive? How do you determine an organism's phenotype for a trait? Look at the combination of alleles in the organism's genotype for the gene that affects that trait. Some alleles have types called dominant and recessive. These two types can cause different versions of the trait to a...
To determine how many boxes in the Punnett square represent offspring with yellow peas or green peas, consider whether each phenotype is the dominant or recessive allele's version of the pea color trait. The question tells you that the e allele, which is for green peas, is recessive to the E allele, which is for yellow...

Adaptations
Animal adaptations: skins and body coverings
An adaptation is an inherited trait that helps an organism survive or reproduce. Adaptations can include both body parts and behaviors. The color, texture, and covering of an animal's skin are examples of adaptations. Animals' skins can be adapted in different ways. For example, skin with thick fur might help an animal...
Look at the picture of the lionfish. The lionfish has venomous spines and brightly colored skin. Its skin is adapted to ward off predators. The bright colors serve as a warning sign that the lionfish is venomous. Now look at each animal. Figure out which animal has a similar adaptation. The sharpnose-puffer has a poiso...

What type of rock is slate?
[ "metamorphic", "sedimentary" ]
0
Slate is a type of rock. It is often used to make roof tiles for houses. Slate can form when rocks like shale are changed by heating and squeezing.

Rocks and minerals
Classify rocks as igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic
Igneous rock is formed when melted rock cools and hardens into solid rock. This type of change can occur at Earth's surface or below it. Sedimentary rock is formed when layers of sediment are pressed together to make rock. This type of change occurs below Earth's surface. Metamorphic rock is formed when a rock is chang...
Slate is a metamorphic rock. Like other metamorphic rocks, it forms when a rock is changed by heating and squeezing. The center of our planet is very hot. Deep below Earth's surface, rocks can be heated to high temperatures. The rocks can also be squeezed by the weight of rocks around them. Sometimes, the heating and s...

Particle motion and energy
Identify how particle motion affects temperature and pressure
The temperature of a substance depends on the average kinetic energy of the particles in the substance. The higher the average kinetic energy of the particles, the higher the temperature of the substance. The kinetic energy of a particle is determined by its mass and speed. For a pure substance, the greater the mass of...
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 mus...

Use lines of latitude and longitude
Lines of latitude and lines of longitude are imaginary lines drawn on some globes and maps. They can help you find places on globes and maps. Lines of latitude show how far north or south a place is. We use units called degrees to describe how far a place is from the equator. The equator is the line located at 0° latit...
The equator is the line at 0° latitude. It intersects South America. It does not intersect North America or Australia.
