tasksource/ScienceQA_text_only | Based on this information, what is Flopsy's phenotype for the ear type trait? |
- normal ears
- dumbo ears | Flopsy's genotype for the ear type gene is ee. Flopsy's genotype of ee has only e alleles. The e allele is for dumbo ears. So, Flopsy's phenotype for the ear type trait must be dumbo ears.
To check this answer, consider whether Flopsy's alleles are dominant or recessive. The allele for normal ears (E) is dominant over the allele for dumbo ears (e). This means E is a dominant allele, and e is a recessive allele.
Flopsy's genotype of ee has only recessive alleles. An organism with only recessive alleles for a gene will have the recessive allele's version of the trait. So, Flopsy's phenotype for the ear type trait must be dumbo ears. |
tasksource/ScienceQA_text_only | Based on this information, what is this plant's phenotype for the flower color trait? |
- red flowers
- white flowers | The scarlet rosemallow plant's genotype for the flower color gene is FF. The scarlet rosemallow plant's genotype of FF has only F allelles. The F allele is for red flowers. So, the scarlet rosemallow plant's phenotype for the flower color trait must be red flowers.
To check this answer, consider whether the scarlet rosemallow plant's alleles are dominant or recessive. The allele for white flowers (f) is recessive to the allele for red flowers (F). This means F is a dominant allele, and f is a recessive allele.
The scarlet rosemallow plant'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, the scarlet rosemallow plant's phenotype for the flower color trait must be red flowers. |

- red herring: the use of a completely unrelated topic or idea | The text argues that Kamal must not care about democracy, because he didn't vote in the election. However, there may be a number of reasons why Kamal didn't vote in the election. This illustrates a type of logical fallacy known as a false dichotomy. |
tasksource/ScienceQA_text_only | Select the solid. |
- fruit punch
- coffee
- rain puddle
- beads | Coffee is a liquid. A liquid takes the shape of any container it is in. If you pour coffee into a different container, the coffee will take the shape of that container. But the coffee will still take up the same amount of space.
Each bead in the jar is a solid. If you put many beads into a bottle, they will take the shape of the bottle, as a liquid would. But be careful! Beads are not a liquid. Each bead still has a size and shape of its own.
A rain puddle is a liquid. A liquid takes the shape of any container it is in. If you collect rainwater in a bucket, the rainwater will take the shape of the bucket. But the rainwater will still take up the same amount of space.
Fruit punch is a liquid. A liquid takes the shape of any container it is in. If you pour fruit punch into a cup, the punch will take the shape of the cup. But the punch will still take up the same amount of space. |

tasksource/ScienceQA_text_only | What do these two changes have in common?
snowflakes forming in a cloud
breaking a piece of glass |
- Both are chemical changes.
- Both are only physical changes.
- Both are caused by cooling.
- Both are caused by heating. | Step 1: Think about each change.
Snowflakes forming in a cloud is a change of state. So, it is a physical change. Liquid water freezes and becomes solid, but it is still made of water. A different type of matter is not formed.
Breaking a piece of glass is a physical change. The glass gets broken into pieces. But each piece is still made of the same 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.
A snowflake begins to form when a tiny drop of liquid water in a cloud freezes. This is caused by cooling. But breaking a piece of glass is not. |

tasksource/ScienceQA_text_only | Based on this information, what is Loki's phenotype for the coat pattern trait? |
- a spotted coat
- a black coat | You need to determine Loki's phenotype for the coat pattern trait. First, consider the alleles in Loki's genotype for the coat pattern gene. Then, decide whether these alleles are dominant or recessive.
The allele for a spotted coat (A) is dominant over the allele for a black coat (a). This means A is a dominant allele, and a is a recessive allele.
Loki'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, Loki's phenotype for the coat pattern trait must be a spotted coat. |
