Use the information below to answer the following question(s). In a survey, the rate of heavy smokers was reported as 270 per 10

00 individuals.
If two individuals are randomly selected, find the probability that neither of them is a heavy smoker.

Assume that having a child with brown eyes or blue eyes is equally likely and that eye color is independent of the other children. What is the probability of having 5 children with brown eyes?

The probability that neither of them is a heavy smoker is 0.53 or 53%

<h3>What is genetic probability?</h3>

Probability serves to mathematically estimate the possibility of events that happen by chance, that is, as a matter of luck.

In this case:

Probability that selected one is heavy smoker is:

p=270/1000=0.27

Number of individuals selected  is 2 and We know that:

P(X=x)=nc_x(1-p)^{n-x}(p)^x

We need to prove that X=0:

P(X=0)=nc_0(1-0.27)^{2-0}(0.27)^0

P=0.5329

Answer no 8:

The correct option is D) Antelopes with muscular legs are bale to outrun their predators better than antelopes with poor muscle tone. Thus they lived to reproduce.

Explanation:

Genetic variations in a population are the main reason that natural selection tends to occur. Natural selection favours those organisms which have better characteristics.The organisms with better traits are able to reproduce and pass on their characteristics to their offsprings.

Answer No 10:

The correct option is A) Phenotype directly influences the interaction of an organism with its environment.

Explanation:

The interactions between the phenotypic traits and the environment analyze whether a particular organism will be able to survive and pass on its characteristics to its offspring. Hence, the phenotype directly influences the interaction of an organism with its environment.

Answer No 9

The correct option is A) resistance to a virus

Explanation:

Mutations can be described as any changes which occur in the DNA of an organism. Mutations might be beneficial or harmful depending on the location where the mutation arises. Viruses are usually harmful for eukaryotes. Hence, the correct option is A.

Answer No 11:

The correct option is C) Giraffes with longer necks survived because they were better suited to the environment.

Explanation:

Natural selection tends to favour those organsims which are better suited to live in an environment. Those organisms with better characteristics are able to survive and pass on their traits to their offsprings.

The giraffes with longer necks were better adapted to live in the environment and hence were favoured by natural selection.

Answer No  12:

The correct option is D) selective breeding

Explanation:

Selective breeding can be described as a technique in which organisms with better characteristics are crossed, so that offsprings with better characteristics can be produced. Selective breeding is done by humans where as natural selection is done by the nature.
