	[QUESTION]What is the expected ratio of offspring with normal wings to offspring with vestigial wings? Choose the most likely ratio.	[OPTIONS](A) 3:1 (B) 0:4 (C) 2:2 (D) 4:0 (E) 1:3	0:4	To determine how many boxes in the Punnett square represent offspring with normal wings or vestigial wings, consider whether each phenotype is the dominant or recessive allele's version of the wing type trait. The question tells you that the N allele, which is for normal wings, is dominant over the n allele, which is for vestigial wings. Normal wings is the dominant allele's version of the wing type trait. A fruit fly with the dominant version of the wing type trait must have at least one dominant allele for the wing type gene. So, offspring with normal wings must have the genotype NN or Nn. There are 0 boxes in the Punnett square with the genotype NN or Nn. Vestigial wings is the recessive allele's version of the wing type trait. A fruit fly with the recessive version of the wing type trait must have only recessive alleles for the wing type gene. So, offspring with vestigial wings must have the genotype nn. All 4 boxes in the Punnett square have the genotype nn. So, the expected ratio of offspring with normal wings to offspring with vestigial wings is 0:4. This means that, based on the Punnett square, this cross will never produce offspring with normal wings. Instead, this cross is expected to always produce offspring with vestigial wings.	false

[QUESTION]What is the expected ratio of offspring with normal wings to offspring with vestigial wings? Choose the most likely ratio.

[OPTIONS](A) 3:1 (B) 0:4 (C) 2:2 (D) 4:0 (E) 1:3

0:4

To determine how many boxes in the Punnett square represent offspring with normal wings or vestigial wings, consider whether each phenotype is the dominant or recessive allele's version of the wing type trait. The question tells you that the N allele, which is for normal wings, is dominant over the n allele, which is for vestigial wings. Normal wings is the dominant allele's version of the wing type trait. A fruit fly with the dominant version of the wing type trait must have at least one dominant allele for the wing type gene. So, offspring with normal wings must have the genotype NN or Nn. There are 0 boxes in the Punnett square with the genotype NN or Nn. Vestigial wings is the recessive allele's version of the wing type trait. A fruit fly with the recessive version of the wing type trait must have only recessive alleles for the wing type gene. So, offspring with vestigial wings must have the genotype nn. All 4 boxes in the Punnett square have the genotype nn. So, the expected ratio of offspring with normal wings to offspring with vestigial wings is 0:4. This means that, based on the Punnett square, this cross will never produce offspring with normal wings. Instead, this cross is expected to always produce offspring with vestigial wings.

[QUESTION]Based on this information, what is Boxer's phenotype for the coat pattern trait?

[OPTIONS](A) solid coloring (B) white spots

You need to determine Boxer's phenotype for the coat pattern trait. First, consider the alleles in Boxer's genotype for the coat pattern gene. Then, decide whether these alleles are dominant or recessive. The allele for solid coloring (A) is dominant over the allele for white spots (a). This means A is a dominant allele, and a is a recessive allele. Boxer's genotype of Aa 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, Boxer's phenotype for the coat pattern trait must be solid coloring.

[OPTIONS](A) Both are chemical changes. (B) Both are caused by heating. (C) Both are only physical changes. (D) Both are caused by cooling.

Both are chemical changes.

Step 1: Think about each change. Rust forming on a metal gate is a chemical change. As the gate rusts, the metal turns into a different type of matter called rust. Rust is reddish-brown and falls apart easily. Burning a candle is a chemical change. Both the wick and the melted wax burn. They react with oxygen in the air and turn into soot, carbon dioxide, and water. 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. Burning is caused by heating. But rust forming on a metal gate is not. Both are caused by cooling. Neither change is caused by cooling.
