A great gray owl's scientific name is Strix nebulosa. Cyanocitta stelleri does not have the same scientific name as a great gray owl. So, Strix nebulosa and Cyanocitta stelleri are not in the same species. Goura scheepmakeri does not have the same scientific name as a great gray owl. So, Strix nebulosa and Goura scheepmakeri are not in the same species. Strix nebulosa has the same scientific name as a great gray owl. So, these organisms are in the same species.

What do these two changes have in common? a piece of avocado turning brown roasting a marshmallow over a campfire
[ "Both are caused by heating.", "Both are chemical changes.", "Both are caused by cooling.", "Both are only physical changes." ]
B
Step 1: Think about each change. A piece of avocado turning brown is a chemical change. The avocado reacts with oxygen in the air to form a different type of matter. If you scrape off the brown part of the avocado, the inside will still be green. The inside hasn't touched the air. So the chemical change hasn't happened to that part of the avocado. Roasting a marshmallow is a chemical change. The type of matter on the outside of the marshmallow changes. As a marshmallow is roasted, it turns brown and crispy. Step 2: Look at each answer choice. Both are only physical changes. Both changes are chemical changes. They are not physical changes. Both are chemical changes. Both changes are chemical changes. The type of matter before and after each change is different. Both are caused by heating. Roasting is caused by heating. But a piece of avocado turning brown is not. Both are caused by cooling.

A school cafeteria uses ground mince to cook lasagnas and cottage pies. They make 100 lasagnas, which use 2 pounds of ground mince each, and cottage pies, which use 3 pounds of ground mince each. If the cafeteria has used 500 pounds of ground mince in total, how many cottage pies did they make?
null
100
The cafeteria used 100 lasagnas * 2 pounds of ground mince = <<100*2=200>>200 pounds of ground mince for the lasagnas. This means they used 500 pounds of ground mince in total – 200 pounds of ground mince for the lasagnas = 300 pounds of ground mince for the cottage pies. So they must have made 300 pounds of ground mince for the cottage pies / 3 pounds of ground mince per cottage pie = <<300/3=100>>100 cottage pies. #### 100

Think about the magnetic force between the magnets in each pair. Which of the following statements is true?
[ "The magnitude of the magnetic force is greater in Pair 2.", "The magnitude of the magnetic force is greater in Pair 1.", "The magnitude of the magnetic force is the same in both pairs." ]
C
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. Both magnet sizes and distance affect the magnitude of the magnetic force. The sizes of the magnets in Pair 1 are the same as in Pair 2. The distance between the magnets is also the same. So, the magnitude of the magnetic force is the same in both pairs.

What do these two changes have in common? water vapor condensing on a bathroom mirror sediment settling to the bottom of a muddy puddle
[ "Both are caused by cooling.", "Both are caused by heating.", "Both are only physical changes.", "Both are chemical changes." ]
C
Step 1: Think about each change. Water vapor condensing on a bathroom mirror is a change of state. So, it is a physical change. The water changes state from gas in the air to liquid water on the mirror. But the water vapor and the liquid water are both made of water. Loose matter such as sand and dirt is called sediment. Sediment settling to the bottom of a muddy puddle is a physical change. The sediment sinks, and the water above becomes clearer. This separates the water from the sediment. But separating a mixture does not form a different 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. Water vapor condensing is caused by cooling. But sediment settling to the bottom of a muddy puddle is not.

What is the expected ratio of offspring with curly fur to offspring with straight fur? Choose the most likely ratio.
[ "0:4", "2:2", "1:3", "4:0", "3:1" ]
B
To determine how many boxes in the Punnett square represent offspring with curly fur or straight fur, consider whether each phenotype is the dominant or recessive allele's version of the fur type trait. The question tells you that the F allele, which is for straight fur, is dominant over the f allele, which is for curly fur. Curly fur is the recessive allele's version of the fur type trait. A cat with the recessive version of the fur type trait must have only recessive alleles for the fur type gene. So, offspring with curly fur must have the genotype ff. There are 2 boxes in the Punnett square with the genotype ff. These boxes are highlighted below. Straight fur is the dominant allele's version of the fur type trait. A cat with the dominant version of the fur type trait must have at least one dominant allele for the fur type gene. So, offspring with straight fur must have the genotype FF or Ff. There are 2 boxes in the Punnett square with the genotype FF or Ff. These boxes are highlighted below. So, the expected ratio of offspring with curly fur to offspring with straight fur is 2:2. This means that, on average, this cross will produce 2 offspring with curly fur for every 2 offspring with straight fur.

Based on this information, what is Boba's phenotype for the fur length trait?
[ "long fur", "short fur" ]
B
Boba's genotype for the fur length gene is FF. Boba's genotype of FF has only F allelles. The F allele is for short fur. So, Boba's phenotype for the fur length trait must be short fur. To check this answer, consider whether Boba's alleles are dominant or recessive. The allele for long fur (f) is recessive to the allele for short fur (F). This means F is a dominant allele, and f is a recessive allele. Boba's genotype of FF 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, Boba's phenotype for the fur length trait must be short fur.

When Jason plays the video game, Duty for Ashes, his mission to slay the dragon hoard requires that he fire his weapon on average every 15 seconds. And each time he fires his weapon, his power-fire setting allows him to shoot a flame for 5 seconds. On average, how many seconds per minute does Jason shoot flames at the dragon hoard?

Complete the statement. Dichloromethane is ().
[ "an elementary substance", "a compound" ]
B
Use the model to determine whether dichloromethane is an elementary substance or a compound. Step 1: Interpret the model. . Use the legend to determine the chemical element represented by each color. The colors and atomic symbols from the legend are shown in the table below. The table also includes the names of the chemical elements represented in the model. You can see from the model that a molecule of dichloromethane is composed of two hydrogen atoms, one carbon atom, and two chlorine atoms bonded together. Step 2: Determine whether the substance is an elementary substance or a compound. You know from Step 1 that dichloromethane is composed of three chemical elements: hydrogen, carbon, and chlorine. Since dichloromethane is composed of multiple chemical elements bonded together, dichloromethane is a compound.

Look at the distance each blue jay moved and the time it took to move that distance. The direction each blue jay moved does not affect its speed. Notice that each blue jay moved for 10 hours. The blue jay that moved 335 kilometers moved the shortest distance in that time. So, that blue jay must have moved at the lowest speed.
