A punnett square is a tabular summary of the possible combinations of the paternal and maternal alleles and thus predicting the genotypes of the organisms in a breeding experiment.

A parakeet that is heterozygous dominant with blue feathers can be represented by the genotype Bb. A parakeet that is homozygous recessive with white feathers can be represented by the genotype bb. When a cross is made between these two, the percentage of offspring predicted to have blue feathers is 50%. It can be represented below-

Phenotype -     Blue feathers    x     White feathers

Genotype  -          Bb                 x               bb

Punnett square                 B                          b

                         b              Bb                        bb

                         b              Bb                        bb

Thus, the percentage of offspring with blue feathers is 50% with a genotype Bb.

What happens when the sun heats up water in earths surface and turns it into water vapor?
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

Evaporation – Evaporation happens when heat from the Sun turns liquid water into water vapor (gas). About 90% of the water in the atmosphere comes from evaporation. Most evaporation occurs in the oceans, because they cover so much of Earth's surface. The sweat evaporates into the air.

1. How is pressure related to force and surface area?
ki77a [65]
Air pressure pushes all around you, it is the force of air spread over the surface area of your skin


pressure is the measure of how much force over a certain area

this is an example
imagine putting a 10 pound weight (disk) on your stomach (not dropping, puttting), not too hard right, now imagine that it was 1 pin that was 10 pounds, that would hurt, the force is still 10 pounds down but the surface area is alot smaller, more pressure

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

Anomalous expansion

Explanation:

Anomalous expansion of water is the abnormal way water expands when exposed to low temperature.

At 4 degree Celsius , the density at the top layer is usually at the Maximum which makes the water sinks down and then the water in the lower layer rises up.

When the temperature drops below 4 degree Celsius, the water molecules at the top then freezes leaving the denser molecules at the bottom which doesn’t freeze as a result of their high density.

This way, organisms can survive in the water due to the lower layer not freezing.
