Flower position, stem length, and seed shape are three characters that Mendel studied. Each is controlled by an independently as

sorted gene and has a simple dominant recessive relationship as follows: axial A / terminal a round R / wrinkled r tall T / dwarf t If a plant that is heterozygous for all three characters is allowed to self-fertilize, what is the probability that the offspring would be homozygous dominant for all three traits? Hint: Use the rules of probability rather than making a huge punnet square.

Answer:

1/64

Explanation:

<em>The probability of the offspring being homozygous dominant for the three alleles is 1/64.</em>

Since the three characters assort independently, the probability of the offspring being homozygous dominant for all the three traits is an independent event.

For independent events, the probability of all the events happening together is the multiplication of individual event's probability.

For a cross involving two heterozygotes, taking tall/dwarf for example:

Tt   x   Tt = TT, 2Tt, tt

The probability of obtaining a homozygous dominant genotype is 1/4.

Hence, the probability of the offspring being homozygous dominant for the three alleles will be:

1/4 x 1/4 x 1/4 = 1/64

How do speed and direction affect velocity?
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

Forces affect how objects move. They may cause motion; they may also slow, stop, or change the direction of motion of an object that is already moving. Since force cause changes in the speed or direction of an object, we can say that forces cause changes in velocity. Remember that acceleration is a change in velocity.
