<p>^no it wouldn’t be at all. Outside sound would interfere with obtaining ACCURATE data.</p>
<p>As would escaped sound. Maybe it mentioned something in the intro?</p>
<p>^ it said in the passage the walls of the sound proof was on the EXTERIOR of the capsule, so it has to be to keep outside noise out.</p>
<p>i know we kinda discussed this and most(all but 2) ppl seem to agree it was 100% but that one question on the allele experiment, one of the later questions, either last or second to last, that asked about the change of an offspring between parents 9 and 10 having the dominant trait (if this was not how it was worded, please let me know) should have been 0% if it was phrased with the words “dominant trait” or something equivalent to that. This is because people 9 and 10 were both dark circles, meaning according to student 2 who thought that the trait was on the recessive allele, their genotype was tt and tt. Thus any combination would not produce a T (notice capitalization…) allele which is the dominant allele. <a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominance_(genetics[/url])”>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominance_(genetics)</a> for a brushup for whoever needs it; the dominant trait in this case is not having the disease, which is why i believe it should have been 0%. maybe i misread the question, but my logic seems right, is it? help me out plz, this question’s killing me</p>
<p>^, if student 2 thinks tt gives them the disease, from his example he gave in the second part of the passage, he thought the recessive allele, tt was the dominant allele. so they would have a 100% chance of getting the genotype “tt” and the phenotype of the disease, so it was 100%.</p>
<p>However, I don’t think the question even had the word dominant in it, it simply said the probability of getting the disease.</p>
<p>WOW everyone on this site is so freaking smart…it should be like IVYConfidential…I got a 21 on my last ACT and have a 3.2 GPA…You guys are so smart <_<</p>
<p>@actpro,</p>
<p>if it did in fact say the chance of getting the disease then yea it is 100% and i guess that’s probably what the answer was, but just informing u that ur wrong about the first condition, what makes it the dominant allele is that it can be by itself and still cause the corresponding phenotype. student 2 said it had to be tt in order to show the trait because it was carried on the recessive allele; so if it was Tt it would not have shown the trait, because T is the dominant allele, it would have shown through in both a TT and a Tt. but again, this is irrelevant, since it said % chance of showing the trait. thanks for the clarification on the question tho</p>
<p>Guys, I am fairly certain many of you misunderstood the question if you put 100%. If it was normal, then obviously a tt and a tt produce 100% recessive alleles. However, the question asked based on student 2’s theory, and student 2 was completely wrong. He believed that to be recessive (a white box, as were the two parents for the question) you MUST BE TT. Therefore none of the offspring will have a t allele, and I put 0%. I am very confident in my answer.</p>
<p>I think this is a matter of reading the question carefully (something I always worry about doing myself). The question was tricky because it was based on student 2, and his idea was as wrong as could be. In reality it would have been 100%, or even student 1 would put 100%, but student 2 is 0%.</p>
<p>Hope this helps.</p>
<p>@pie, I was talking in terms of student 2’s idea, he only believed if the alleles were tt then the person could have the disease. </p>
<p>Siegs, that doesnt make any sense.</p>
<p>The question asked what percent of the offspring could have the disease, and the genotypes of BOTH parents were tt. then the kids must have a genotype that is tt, which, according to his theory, indicates that they have the disease. so it would be 100%, and, that is the general consensus on CC as well.</p>
<p>I hated that passage. I put 25%, lolo.</p>
<p>I messed that part up, but it is still 0%. It’s the other way around- he thought they had to be tt to be dominant. My classmates and I (all very good students at the top of our classes) agree it is 0%</p>
<p>yea actpro, he believed that tt only displayed the trait, which means it is recessive because if it was dominant, tT would have the trait based on the fact that the single t is stronger (dominant) over the T. but yea i agree with you, 3 of us say it was 0% and around 50 of you say it was 100% based on the question saying “chance of displaying the trait,” and im pretty sure there’s no reason we’re more reliable than any of you, so the majority is probably right. ive come to peace with missing that question alrdy lol, gotta focus more</p>
<p>Any1 remember any other questions?</p>
<p>Well, I googled what the uses for a mesh bag were and I found an article/assignment thing that explained the leaf litter decomp thing that was in the ACT</p>
<p>here is an excerpt:</p>
<p>“Leaf litter decomposition is most commonly measured using the litterbag technique. A known quantity of leaf litter is placed into a mesh bag, and the bag is then inserted into the litter layer of a forest floor. Bags are harvested at periodic intervals, dried and reweighed to determine the amount of mass lost.”</p>
<p>After reading the rest of the article thingy, I think the answer might be sunlight and water even though it doesn’t say it…kind of a debateable question.</p>
<p>What was the one question where it talked about Student 2 and the genotypes
it was like the first one on the right column of the second page :P</p>
<p>answer choices :
a) TT and tt
b) something
c) Tt and tt
d) something else</p>
<p>People on here say its: tt and tt, however I put C also</p>
<p>^ Which question is that?</p>
<p>Siegs, it asked “ACCORDING to student 2.” Doesn’t matter if he was right or not. He thought tt meant the T trait was shown. If two tt’s reproduced, according to Student 2, they would make all tt’s, so 100% of their offspring would show the T trait</p>
<p>you guys forget that you don’t need ANY science knowledge to do well on the science test. You don’t have to know punnet squares or anything. It’s just critical reading with graphs</p>
<p>It’s not helpful just giving answers considering the gene part of the ACT had multiple questions about TT, Tt, and tt.</p>
<p>Can someone tell me the question for Tt and tt?</p>
