	[QUESTION]What is the expected ratio of offspring that have thorns to offspring that do not have thorns? Choose the most likely ratio.	[OPTIONS](A) 2:2 (B) 4:0 (C) 0:4 (D) 1:3 (E) 3:1	0:4	To determine how many boxes in the Punnett square represent offspring that do or do not have thorns, consider whether each phenotype is the dominant or recessive allele's version of the thorns trait. The question tells you that the R allele, which is for having thorns, is dominant over the r allele, which is for not having thorns. Having thorns is the dominant allele's version of the thorns trait. A rose plant with the dominant version of the thorns trait must have at least one dominant allele for the thorns gene. So, offspring that have thorns must have the genotype RR or Rr. There are 0 boxes in the Punnett square with the genotype RR or Rr. Not having thorns is the recessive allele's version of the thorns trait. A rose plant with the recessive version of the thorns trait must have only recessive alleles for the thorns gene. So, offspring that do not have thorns must have the genotype rr. All 4 boxes in the Punnett square have the genotype rr. So, the expected ratio of offspring that have thorns to offspring that do not have thorns is 0:4. This means that, based on the Punnett square, this cross will never produce offspring that have thorns. Instead, this cross is expected to always produce offspring that do not have thorns.	false

[OPTIONS](A) a spotted tail (B) an unspotted tail	an unspotted tail	Marina's genotype for the tail spots gene is ii. Marina's genotype of ii has only i alleles. The i allele is for an unspotted tail. So, Marina's phenotype for the tail spots trait must be an unspotted tail. To check this answer, consider whether Marina's alleles are dominant or recessive. The allele for a spotted tail (I) is dominant over the allele for an unspotted tail (i). This means I is a dominant allele, and i is a recessive allele. Marina's genotype of ii has only recessive alleles. An organism with only recessive alleles for a gene will have the recessive allele's version of the trait.

[QUESTION]What is the expected ratio of offspring that have thorns to offspring that do not have thorns? Choose the most likely ratio.

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

0:4

To determine how many boxes in the Punnett square represent offspring that do or do not have thorns, consider whether each phenotype is the dominant or recessive allele's version of the thorns trait. The question tells you that the R allele, which is for having thorns, is dominant over the r allele, which is for not having thorns. Having thorns is the dominant allele's version of the thorns trait. A rose plant with the dominant version of the thorns trait must have at least one dominant allele for the thorns gene. So, offspring that have thorns must have the genotype RR or Rr. There are 0 boxes in the Punnett square with the genotype RR or Rr. Not having thorns is the recessive allele's version of the thorns trait. A rose plant with the recessive version of the thorns trait must have only recessive alleles for the thorns gene. So, offspring that do not have thorns must have the genotype rr. All 4 boxes in the Punnett square have the genotype rr. So, the expected ratio of offspring that have thorns to offspring that do not have thorns is 0:4. This means that, based on the Punnett square, this cross will never produce offspring that have thorns. Instead, this cross is expected to always produce offspring that do not have thorns.

[QUESTION]Based on this information, what is Marina's phenotype for the tail spots trait?

[OPTIONS](A) a spotted tail (B) an unspotted tail

an unspotted tail

Marina's genotype for the tail spots gene is ii. Marina's genotype of ii has only i alleles. The i allele is for an unspotted tail. So, Marina's phenotype for the tail spots trait must be an unspotted tail. To check this answer, consider whether Marina's alleles are dominant or recessive. The allele for a spotted tail (I) is dominant over the allele for an unspotted tail (i). This means I is a dominant allele, and i is a recessive allele. Marina's genotype of ii has only recessive alleles. An organism with only recessive alleles for a gene will have the recessive allele's version of the trait. So, Marina's phenotype for the tail spots trait must be an unspotted tail.

The magnitude of the magnetic force is smaller in Pair 2.

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