Not all traits are determined solely by genes. Many traits have been found to exhibit phenotypic plasticity, which
occurs when individuals with the same genotype exhibit different phenotypes in different environments. Which of the
following is an exampleof phenotypic plasticity?
Well-maintained hedges can be shaped into artistic displays.
O A person who experienced malnutrition as a child is short in stature as an adult.
O Bears living in the arctic developed white fur and cold tolerance over many generations.
Certain breeds of dog have been bred for specific traits, such as poodles being bred for intelligence.

Answer:

O A person who experienced malnutrition as a child is short in stature as an adult.

Explanation:

Height is a quantitative trait, i.e., a phenotypic trait that depends on the combined action of many genes and the environment. Moreover, phenotypic plasticity can be defined as the ability of one genotype to produce different phenotypes in different environments. In consequence, quantitative traits are influenced by environmental factors and exhibit phenotypic plasticity. Quantitative traits are characterized to have a large variety of phenotypes and follow a normal distribution (a bell-shaped curve) when they are drawn.

Peter, who lived 200 years ago, had a house with no rats in it. One day, his wife
heard some scurrying around on his straw roof. He went up and guess what he
found? A rat's nest. Peter was really smart--where did he think the new rats came
from? Well 200 years ago, people believed that part of the straw roof somehow
turned into rats. Why would Peter, even though he was very intelligent, accept this
idea?
We're all really smart, but its not like we're the smartest people in the world. We all know that it takes a momma rat and daddy rat to make some baby rats.
This is because we understand something called the cell theory, because the cell theory is just part of our culture now. It's something a lot of our behaviors and
other ideas are based.
1. All living things are made of cells
2. Cells come from other cells
3. Cells are the smallest unit of life

1. Using two parts of the cell theory, explain to Peter why these two parts show
that the straw roof did not turn into the rats.
2. What do we mean when we say 'The cell is the smallest unit of life? Explain as if
you were talking to Peter, who has no idea about cells.

Read the paragraph from the section "Pea Plants And The Punnett Square."
A pea plant could have one copy of the height gene that coded for "tall" and one copy of the height gene that coded for
"short." The tall allele is "dominant," and this means that it can mask the other allele. The short allele is called
"recessive." The allele combination of tall-short would result in a tall plant since the tall allele is dominant.
Which option is the BEST definition of the word "mask" as used in the paragraph above?

A dragonfly has blue wings. Its mother has blue wings, but its father has colorless wings. Which of these statements explains why the dragonfly has blue wings?

A sugar farm near the coast of Florida applies a nitrogen based fertilizer to their soil three times a year. When rain falls on these fields after it has been fertilized some of the fertilizer runs off into the ocean causing the nitrogen levels in the water to increase. The increase levels of nitrogen can lead to many ecological effects beginning with the rapid growth of algae. This process is known as eutrophication.

How can eutrophication affect other organisms in the water?

Group of answer choices

The algae provide food for fishes and other organisms, leading to decreased algae populations.

The oxygen in the water is used up as algae is decomposed, reducing the amount available to other organisms.

The water becomes better able to support aerobic organisms.

The extra nitrogen provides additional food for the other organisms, increasing their population.

Which of the following is not a stage in hurricane formation?

A)

Thunderstorms in a low-pressure area combined with the Earth’s rotation cause the storm’s initial rotation.

B)

Pollution in the atmosphere raises the temperature of the air, creating a depression.

C)

Warm, moist air rises from the sea and increases the storm’s energy.

D)

As water from the sea turns into water vapor, latent heat enters the storm, causing the storm’s energy to increase.

E)

As condensation (rain) occurs, latent heat is released, which warms the air and makes it lighter, causing the hurricane to increase in strength and intensity.
