We use principles of probability in genetics through measuring and determining (or atleast trying to determine) the probabilities of certain offspring being born. This is also perhaps the most useful application of probability theory in genetics.

40 POINTS AND BRAINLY
erastova [34]

Because the RNA molecules that are in most organisms can’t replicate themselves. Further, the RNA molecule that is in most organisms can’t transcribe its information on the DNA.

The DNA molecule readily replicates itself under the right conditions. The reason that DNA molecules replicate themselves much easier than RNA molecules is because DNA has a double helix structure.

The double helix can unzip down the middle, creating two molecules with complementary information.The RNA is generally a single string of base pairs. RNA isn’t double anything. So an RNA molecule usually can’t divide into two molecules with complementary informaiton.

That being said:

RNA molecules in some virus species can replicate itself. This RNA can transcribe information onto the DNA of the host organism.

RNA molecules with a certain structure under the right conditions can replicate themselves. However, replication in RNA is not as reliable as replication of DNA. That is one reason that RNA viruses mutate at a much faster rate than most DNA viruses.

Why do male brown-headed cowbirds sing the most attractive songs when reared in isolation with only females, unable to hear male
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

Sexual competition often occurs within complex social environments where male displays can be received by potential mates, rivals, or both at once. In brown-headed cowbirds’ breeding flocks, for example, multiple males sometimes vie directly for a single female’s attention; at other times males have opportunities to sing to females without interference. It was tested whether cowbirds vary the intensity of their signalling across contexts like these. The songs were recorded from males courting females both with and without a male competitor in sight. The recordings were now played to solitary, naïve females in sound attenuation chambers, and also to a naïve aviary-housed flock. The songs males had produced when they could see their competitors were more attractive, eliciting more copulatory postures from naïve females and more approaches from birds in the flock.

maw [93]
<span>Personally, I wouldn't expect any significant results. Maybe he'll get lucky and get a new volcano, but 10 years is virtually nothing on the geologic timescale. That's like trying to measure how many times a person blinks in 0.1 seconds. You shouldn't expect to see any.</span>
