You just bought two black guinea pigs, one male and one female, of the same genotype from the pet store that are known to be het

erozygous (Bb). You also know that black fur (BB) is dominant over white fur (bb) and that a lethal recessive allele is located only one cM away from the recessive b allele, and your animals are both heterozygous for this gene also. What is the probability of finding a white individual among the progeny if you cross these two animals?

Answer: The probability of finding a white individual among the progeny if you cross these two animals is ¼.

Step-by-step explanation: Since these two animals are heterozygous black animals (Bb), crossing Bb x Bb will produce offsprings that are black (¾) and white (¼).

The first B will meet with the second B to form a BB (Black) progeny.

The first B will meet with the second b to form Bb (Black) progeny.

Likewise, the first b will meet with the first B to form Bb (Black) progeny.

Lastly, the first b will meet with the second b to form bb (white) progeny.

These are the possible progeny from the cross between Bb and Bb. Therefore, the probability of having white offspring is ¼.

Any quadrilateral which can be inscribed in a circle, is called a cyclic quadrilateral.


The main theorem about these quadrilaterals is the following:

In any cyclic quadrilateral, the sum of the measures of the opposite angles is 180°.

This means, m(∠S)+m(∠Q) =180°, 

thus 

(7x-2)+(5x+14)=180

12x+12=180

12x=168

x=168/12=14

Thus the measures of angles Q and S are respectively:

7x-2 = 7*14-2=96 (degrees) and 

5x+14=5*14+14=6*14=84 (degrees)

Answer: D

(14.14) larry reads that 1 out of 6 eggs contains salmonella bacteria. so he never uses more than 5 eggs in cooking. if eggs do
melomori [17]

we know that

The probability that "at least one" is the probability of exactly one, exactly 2, exactly 3, 4 and 5 contain salmonella.

The easiest way to solve this is to recognise that "at least one" is ALL 100% of the possibilities EXCEPT that none have salmonella.

If the probability that any one egg has 1/6 chance of salmonella

then

the probability that any one egg will not have salmonella = 5/6.

Therefore

for all 5 to not have salmonella


= (5/6)^5 = 3125 / 7776

= 0.401877 = 0.40 to 2 decimal places


REMEMBER this is the probability that NONE have salmonella


Therefore

the probability that at least one does = 1 - 0.40

= 0.60


the answer is

0.60 or 60%
