Complete the sentence. The Saharan Atlas formed at a () boundary.
[ "convergent", "transform", "divergent" ]
A
To figure out what type of plate boundary formed the Saharan Atlas, you need to know how the tectonic plates interacted. To find this out, read the passage carefully. The Saharan Atlas, a mountain range in northern Africa, began to form millions of years ago as the Eurasian Plate and the African Plate moved toward each other. As the plates collided, the continental crust was forced upward to form tall mountains. Along the sides of the mountains in the Saharan Atlas, there are riverbeds called wadis. Wadis contain water only during wet seasons. The rest of the year, the river beds are dry. The underlined part of the passage explains that the Saharan Atlas formed as the two plates collided, or ran into each other. For two plates to collide, they must be moving toward each other. So, the Saharan Atlas formed at a convergent boundary.

What is the expected ratio of offspring that have Thomsen disease to offspring that do not have Thomsen disease? Choose the most likely ratio.
[ "2:2", "1:3", "3:1", "4:0", "0:4" ]
A
To determine how many boxes in the Punnett square represent offspring that do or do not have Thomsen disease, consider whether each phenotype is the dominant or recessive allele's version of the Thomsen disease trait. The question tells you that the M allele, which is for having Thomsen disease, is dominant over the m allele, which is for not having Thomsen disease. Having Thomsen disease is the dominant allele's version of the Thomsen disease trait. A human with the dominant version of the Thomsen disease trait must have at least one dominant allele for the Thomsen disease gene. So, offspring that have Thomsen disease must have the genotype MM or Mm. There are 2 boxes in the Punnett square with the genotype MM or Mm. These boxes are highlighted below. Not having Thomsen disease is the recessive allele's version of the Thomsen disease trait. A human with the recessive version of the Thomsen disease trait must have only recessive alleles for the Thomsen disease gene. So, offspring that do not have Thomsen disease must have the genotype mm. There are 2 boxes in the Punnett square with the genotype mm. These boxes are highlighted below. So, the expected ratio of offspring that have Thomsen disease to offspring that do not have Thomsen disease is 2:2. This means that, on average, this cross will produce 2 offspring that have Thomsen disease for every 2 offspring that do not have Thomsen disease.

Use the model to determine whether fluoromethane 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 fluoromethane is composed of three hydrogen atoms, one carbon atom, and one fluorine atom bonded together. Step 2: Determine whether the substance is an elementary substance or a compound. You know from Step 1 that fluoromethane is composed of three chemical elements: hydrogen, carbon, and fluorine. Since fluoromethane is composed of multiple chemical elements bonded together, fluoromethane is a compound.

Based on this information, what is Mabel's phenotype for the leg color trait?
[ "white legs", "yellow legs" ]
B
Mabel's genotype for the leg color gene is ll. Mabel's genotype of ll has only l alleles. The l allele is for yellow legs. So, Mabel's phenotype for the leg color trait must be yellow legs. To check this answer, consider whether Mabel's alleles are dominant or recessive. The allele for white legs (L) is dominant over the allele for yellow legs (l). This means L is a dominant allele, and l is a recessive allele. Mabel's genotype of ll has only recessive alleles. An organism with only recessive alleles for a gene will have the recessive allele's version of the trait. So, Mabel's phenotype for the leg color trait must be yellow legs.

Between them, Mark and Sarah have 24 traffic tickets. Mark has twice as many parking tickets as Sarah, and they each have an equal number of speeding tickets. If Sarah has 6 speeding tickets, how many parking tickets does Mark have?
null

First figure out how many total speeding tickets the two people got by adding the 6 speeding tickets Sarah got to the equal number (6) that Mark got: 6 + 6 = <<6+6=12>>12 Now subtract the combined number of speeding tickets from the total number of tickets to find the combined number of parking tickets: 24 - 12 = <<24-12=12>>12 Now express Mark's number of parking tickets in terms of the number of parking tickets Sarah got: m = <<2=2>>2s We know that m + s = 12, so substitute in the value of m from the previous step to get 2s + s = 12 Combine like terms to get 3s = 12 Divide both sides of the equation to get s = <<4=4>>4 Now multiply the number of parking tickets Sarah got by 2 to find the number Mark got: 4 * 2 = <<4*2=8>>8 #### 8

First find the amount of tape each 15 in x 30 in box needs on the short sides: 2 sides * 15 inches/side = <<2*15=30>>30 inches Then add that to the amount of tape each 15 in x 30 in box needs on the long side to find the total amount needed per box: 30 inches + 30 inches = <<30+30=60>>60 inches Then multiply that amount by 5 boxes to find the total amount needed: 60 inches/box * 5 boxes = 300 inches Then find the amount of tape each 40 in x 40 in box needs for its three equal length sides: 3 sides * 40 inches/side = <<3*40=120>>120 inches Then multiply that amount by 2 boxes to find the total amount needed: 120 inches/box * 2 boxes = 240 inches Then add the total amount needed for each box size to find the grand total: 240 inches + 300 inches = <<240+300=540>>540 inches #### 540
