Biologists breed a pair of plants where each plant has the color genes Gg. This means that any offspring these plants produce ha

s a 25 percent chance of inheriting the color genes gg, which makes the offspring an albino plant. Assume that offspring inherit genes independently from each other.What would find the probability of this pair producing exactly 1 albino plant among 6 offspring?

Answer:

.356

Explanation:

p = .25, the chance of getting an albino

q = .75, the chance of getting not an albino

n = 6, the number of offspring

r = 1, the number of albinos we want

What's the probability of getting exactly 1 out of six? This is called a binomial distribution. The formula is

p(X=r) = (nCr) p^{r}  q^{n-r}

nCr means n choose r, which you can find on your calculator (on a TI-84, it's MATH->PRB->nCr).

p(X=1) = (6C1) .25^{1}  .75^{5}

p(X=1) = 6* .25 * .237

p(X=1) = .356

That's a fairly low percentage, which makes sense, because you'd expect 1.5 albinos, if this were a statistically perfect world.

Agata [3.3K]

Answer: Glucose

Explanation:

The carbon dioxide produced in the experiment can be directly related to the energy generated after the fermentation process. The carbon dioxide is the byproduct of the chemical reactions in the ethanolic fermentation. Glucose substrate will yield the highest energy along with the highest producer of the carbon dioxide after the fermentation process conducted by yeast as compared to the fermentation process that was conducted by yeast with flour. The flour will offer a source of carbohydrates including starch and sugars. The yeast will find out sugar in the flour and ferment it. Glucose is readily available sugar for the action of yeast so more production of carbon dioxide is expected from glucose substrate.

Answer: That a STD is not contagious but can be given by blood bond in other words like if you kiss someone and they have blood on there lip or a sore you can get it like that or if you have finger to finger for example holding hands and they have a little wound there would be a 57% chance they would get the STD.
