<span>The law of segregation is a principle of Mendelian genetics. The law of segregation occurs during meiosis when gametes are formed. At this time, the alleles for each gene segregate from one another. As a result, each gamete contains only one allele per gene. Thus, the gametes are haploid. The gametes need to be haploid so the specie’s diploid number is maintained when the egg and sperm unite. As a result of the law of segregation, each diploid parent passes a random allele for each trait to his/her offspring during fertilization. Thus, segregation increases variation within a species.</span>

A cylinder with a mass of 12 g has a radius measuring 2 cm and a height of 6 cm. What is its density? 0.05 g/cm3 0.16 g/cm3 1 g/
valina [46]
Given:
m = 12 g, the mass of the cylinder
r = 2 cm, the radius of the cylinder
h = 6 cm, the height of the cylinder.

Calculate the volume, V, of the cylinder.
V = πr²h
   =  π*(2 cm)²*(6 cm)
   = 75.398 cm³

By definition,
density = mass/volume.

Therefore,
density = m/V
             = (12 g)/(75.398 cm³)
             = 0.159 g/cm³
             = 0.16 g/cm³ (nearest hundredth)

Answer: 0.16 g/cm³
