Complete question:

Part C: Using the Punnett square to make predictions

Use the completed Punnett square in Part B to answer the questions below about the F2 generation.

<em>Note: You will find the Punnet square in the attached files.   </em>

Note that questions 3 and 4 require a more advanced evaluation of probabilities than do questions 1 and 2 because you have to consider all possible groupings and orders of three F2 seeds. If you need help with these calculations, use Hint 3.

1) What is the probability that an F2 seed chosen at random will be yellow?

2)  What is the probability that an F2 seed chosen at random from along the yellow seeds will breed true when selfed?

3) What is the probability that three F2 seeds chosen at random will include at least one yellow seed?

4) What is the probability that three F2 seeds chosen at random will include one green seed and two yellow seeds?  

Answer:

1) 3/4              

2) 1/3

3) 63/64

4) 27/64

Explanation:

  • Y is the dominant allele and expresses yellow color
  • y is the recessive allele and expresses green color
  • Seeds with YY and Yy genotype are yellow
  • Seeds with yy genotype are green

Parental) Yy   x   Yy

Gametes) Y   y   Y   y

Punnet Square)

                      (1/2) Y            (1/2) y

      (1/2) Y    (1/4) YY         (1/4) Yy

      (1/2) y     (1/4) yY          (1/4) yy  

F2)  1/4 YY

      2/4 = 1/2 Yy

      1/4 yy

1) There will be 3/4 of probabilities of getting a yellow F2 seed

   1/4 YY + 2/4 Yy = 3/4 Y-

   The symbol "-" means that in its position there might be either a Y or y allele.

2) As there are only three yellow possible genotypes for yellow seeds, the fourth genotype for green seeds is not considered. Our pool now is only yellow seeds. So the probability of getting a pure breeding yellow seed among all yellow seeds is 1/3.  

   1/3 YY

   1/3 Yy

   1/3 yY

In the pool of yellow seeds, there are three genotypes, and only one of them corresponds to pure breeding yellow seed.

3) To calculate the probability of getting at least one yellow seed among the three seeds randomly chosen, we need to multiply and then perform addition. This is, when we take three seeds from the pool, we have different possibilities of getting seeds with different genotypes. So:

  • the three chosen seeds could be yellow. In this case, we multiply their probabilities. The probability of getting one yellow seed is 3/4, so, the probabilities of getting three yellow seeds are: 3/4 x 3/4 x 3/4 = 27/64

There might also be one green sees and two yellow seed, so we multiply their probabilities in the order in which we might get them. This is:

  • Two yellow seeds and one green seed: 3/4 x 3/4 x 1/4 = 9/64
  • One yellow seed, one green seed, and one yellow seed: 3/4 x 1/4 x 3/4 = 9/64
  • one green seed, and two yellow seeds: 1/4 x 3/4 x 3/4 = 9/64

And we could also get two green seeds and only one yellow seed:

  • Two green and one yellow seed: 1/4 x 1/4 x 3/4 = 3/64
  • one green, one yellow and one green: 1/4 x 3/4x 1/4 = 3/64
  • one yellow seed and two green seeds: 3/4 x 1/4 x 1/4 = 3/64

Now, having all the possibilities, we just need to add all the possibilities:

27/64 + 9/64 + 9/64 + 9/64 + 3/64 + 3/64 + 3/64= 63/64.

Note that we did not include the possibility of getting three green seeds (1/4 x 1/4 x 1/4). This is because we were asked to calculate the probabilities of getting AT LEAST one yellow seed.

4) To calculate the probability of getting two yellow seeds and one green seed among the three seeds randomly chosen, we should multiply probabilities and then sum them up.

The orders in which we could get the seeds are:

  • Two yellows and one green: 3/4 x 3/4 x 1/4 = 9/64
  • One yellow, one green, and one yellow: 3/4 x 1/4 x 3/4 = 9/64
  • one green seed and two yellow seeds: 1/4 x 3/4 x 3/4 = 9/64

Now, having all the possibilities, we just need to add all the possibilities:

6/64 + 9/64 + 9/64 = 27/64.

elena-s [515]

When testing diffusion over a selectively permeable membrane, the proper setup is aimed at putting different concentrations into tubes and the same water volume.

<h3>What is a selectively permeable membrane?</h3>

A selectively permeable membrane is a physical barrier that allows the passage of certain substances but not others.

The cell membrane is a  selectively permeable membrane that cells need to interchange nutrients and waste with their environment.

In conclusion, a suitable experiment to show the process of diffusion in a selectively permeable membrane is to put concentrations of the solute into tubes and the same volume of solvent (water).

how will solar energy affect us in the future? ESSAY DUE AT 9:00 A.M tomorrow. Please finish I will give 100 points
oee [108]

Answer:

i love you:)

Explanation:

Solar energy has come a long way in a decade. Back in 2010, the global market was small and highly dependent on subsidy regimes in countries such as Germany and Italy. This year there will be more than 115 gigawatts (GW) of solar installed across the world, which is more than all other generation technologies put together. It is also increasingly low cost, especially in sunnier regions where it has already become the lowest-cost form of new electricity generation.

In the coming years, technology improvements will ensure that solar becomes even cheaper. It could well be that by 2030, solar will have become the most important source of energy for electricity production in a large part of the world. This will also have a positive impact on the environment and climate change.

Going forward the solar industry has very clear cost-reduction roadmaps, which should see solar costs halving by 2030. There is already a move in place towards higher-efficiency modules, which can generate 1.5 times more power than existing, similarly sized modules today using a technology called tandem silicon cells. These are going to have a large impact going forward.

In addition, there are production innovations coming down the pipeline that will reduce the amounts of costly materials such as silver and silicon used in the manufacture of solar cells, as well as innovations such as bifacial modules which allow panels to capture solar energy from both sides. The other important innovation is around how best to integrate solar into our homes, businesses and power systems. This means better power electronics and a greater use of low-cost digital technologies.

What this means is that solar will reach, in many parts of the world, a levelized cost of energy that will make it unbeatable compared to fossil fuels. Given that solar is so easy and quick to install, not to mention flexible - after all, solar can be used to power something as small as a watch or as large as a city - it should mean that solar installations continue to grow over the coming decade. This could also be very good for the climate. Now that is something bright to write about.
