Answer: For three traits inherited in a dominant/recessive pattern, the probability of an offspring in a trihybrid cross between parents heterozygous for all three traits to be recessive at exactly two of the three loci is 23/64.

Explanation: Let A, B and C represent the dominant alleles and a, b and c represent the recessive alleles. The genotype of each of the parent will be AaBbCc since it has been said to be heterozygous for all the three traits. There are eight (8) possible different types of gametes from each of the genotype. This can be calculated using 2^n where n is the number of heterozygous loci.

The number of heterozygous loci in the genotype AaBbCc is three (3). 2^3 = 8. The gametes are;

ABC

ABc

AbC

Abc

aBC

aBc

abC and

abc.

Therefore, sixty-four possible offsprings are expected from the cross AaBbCc x AaBbCc.

Out of these offsprings, twenty-three (23) are expected to be heterozygous at two loci as boldly shown in the attached image.

A) Explain why antibiotics would kill a prokaryotic cell. (2 points)
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

Antibiotics are simply chemicals that kill prokaryotic cells but do not harm eukaryotic cells. They are natural chemicals produced by fungi and bacteria that act to control their bacterial competitors. For example, streptomycin stops protein synthesis in prokaryotic cells by binding to their unusual ribosomes.

Explanation:

Sorry if this makes no sense. Basically, the antibiotics will harm/kill cells like the prokaryotic cell, but it won't harm or kill any human cells that are essential. They'll kill bacteria, though. The chemicals in the antibiotics aren't compatible with the ones in the prokaryotic cell, so it'll kill it.

Explain the distribution of the humid subtropical hot-summer and mediterranean dry summer climates in north america, and the dif
sergeinik [125]

In general, the warm to hot summers and relatively mild winters of the Mediterranean and humid subtropical climates are similar. More people live in humid subtropical regions, which are occasionally invaded by chilly air in the winter.

Overall, this region's winter temperatures are typically 10 to 20 degrees Fahrenheit cooler than those in Mediterranean regions.

Whether or whether the summers are hot or warm in a region with a Mediterranean climate determines the subcategory. In comparison to the dry summer heat of the Mediterranean climate zones, the summers in the humid subtropical zone are equally warm or hot, but they typically have significantly more humidity, resulting in sultry weather that generally feels more uncomfortable.

What is humidity?

The amount of water vapor in the air is known as humidity. The gaseous form of water, known as water vapor, is typically undetectable to the  eye. The presence of precipitation, dew, or fog is predicted by the humidity.

The temperature and pressure of the system of interest affect humidity. In comparison to warm air, cool air has a higher relative humidity when the same amount of water vapor is present. The dew point is another relevant variable. As the temperature rises, more water vapor is required until saturation is reached. A parcel of air will eventually approach saturation as its temperature drops, without adding or losing water mass. A parcel of air can include a wide range of water vapor concentrations.
