Answer:

243

Explanation:

Let us assume the genotype of individual with five genes is AaBbCcDdEe

If we look at the simple mono-hybrid cross between two gene pairs let us say Aa and Aa, the following genotypes will be produced

Aa * Aa

AA, Aa, Aa, aa

So total three different type of genotypes will be produced i.e AA, Aa, and aa

Like wise cross between Bb and Bb will produce BB, Bb, bb

Product of Cc and Cc will produce CC, Cc and cc

Product of Dd and Dd will produce DD, Dd, dd

Product of Ee and Ee will produce EE, Ee, ee

So in total there will be 5 such groups which will assort independently/

Thus, the probability will be

3 * 3* 3*3 *3\\= 3^5\\= 243

It is what you do with the data you collected. Based on this, we can say that B, counting the number of fish for each species, and D, transferring the data from the fish counter to a computer program would both be examples of data organization and analysis.

Mountains formed by two colliding continents often contain marine _______ rock
stealth61 [152]
<span>The correct answer is Marine Sedimentary Rock. This means that when they collide, usually mountains come from out of the sea and move vertically up. This means that sedimentary marine rocks eventually become non-marine rocks since they're not in the sea anymore so they can be found on such mountains.</span><span />
