Answer: In the process of meiosis, alleles separate and are added to the gametes in an independent manner. While each gamete (egg or sperm cell) therefore contains one allele for each gene, it's impossible to know which allele, because alleles segregate in a random manner. However, it's possible to calculate probabilities that the offspring will have a given allele using Punnett squares.

Water can act as either a(n) _____ or a _____. acid, base solute, solvent anion, cation salt, mixture
IgorC [24]
Water can act as either a base or an acid. Water acts as an acid by donating a hydrogen ion when it reacts with a stronger base such as sodium hydroxide. Water may also act as a base when it accepts hydrogen ion when reacting with a strong acid such as hydrochloric acid. This is based on Bronsted concept and definition of a base ( proton acceptor) and acid (proton donor). Such a  compound that can act as a base and as an acid is called an amphiprotic molecule.
