Bb = brown hair phenotype

bb = black hair phenotype

we see that B = brown hair is the dominant gene while b = black hair is the recessive gene

----------------------------------

ll = short hair, this is a lowercase L

Ll = long hair

In this case, l = short hair is the recessive gene while L = long hair is the dominant gene.

----------------------------------

Check out the diagram below to see the dihybrid crosses for each of the hair color and hair length genotypes. From there, I show all of the genotypes possible for any offspring. Those genotypes are

  • LlBb  = long brown hair (comes up 4 times)
  • Llbb  = long black hair (comes up 4 times)
  • llBb  = short brown hair (comes up 4 times)
  • llbb  = short black hair (comes up 4 times)

-----------------------------------

If we are talking about 1 offspring, then it is not possible for him/her to have both "long black hair AND short brown hair" as the instructions state. So let's consider two offspring instead.

The probability of having long black hair is 4/16 = 1/4 as there are 4 cases of Llbb out of 16 cases total. Similarly, the probability of getting llBb is 4/16 = 1/4 as well, for pretty much the same reasons.

The probability of having both events occur is (1/4)*(1/4) = 1/16

The multiplication of probabilities is valid because the two events are independent.

==============================================

<h3>Final Answer: A) 1/16</h3>

If ΔGET≅ΔMAP, then what corresponding parts are congruent? segment TG and segment AM ∠T and ∠P segment MP and segment ET ∠E and
otez555 [7]

Answer:

2nd Option is correct that is ∠T and ∠P.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that ΔGET ≅ ΔMAP

We need to find Congruent part from the given options.

Since, we are given the figure of the congruent triangles with marking not any instruction with which vertex is congruent to which vertex.

So, The Given Name of the Congruent triangle.

We deduce that

G ↔ M

E ↔ A

T ↔ P

Using this we get following congruent parts,

GE ≅ MA , GT ≅ MP and ET ≅ AP

∠G ≅ ∠M ,  ∠E ≅ ∠A and ∠T ≅ ∠P.

Therefore, 2nd Option is correct that is ∠T and ∠P.

Which of the following situations can be described by the equation 2x – 4 = 10?
chubhunter [2.5K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Add 44 to both sides.

2x=10+4

2x=10+4

2 Simplify 10+410+4 to 1414.

2x=14

2x=14

3 Divide both sides by 22.

x=\frac{14}{2}

x=

2

14

4 Simplify \frac{14}{2}

2

14

to 77.

x=7

x=7

Solve The Following Expression..​
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

\frac{4 + 3y}{6y - 2}  =  \frac{ - 3}{5}  \\  \\   - 3(6y - 2) = 5(4 + 3y) \\  \\   - 18y + 6 = 20 + 15y \\  \\ 15y + 18y = 6 - 20 \\  \\ 33y =  - 14 \\  \\ y =  \frac{ - 14}{33} \\  \\ y =  - 0.42

A new motorboat costs $6000. The value of the boat decreases by 15% each year. What is the value of the boat after 3 years?
Elodia [21]

Answer:

 The value of the boat after 3 years is \$3,684.75  

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The  formula to calculate the depreciated value  is equal to  

V=P(1-r)^{x}  

where  

V is the depreciated value  

P is the original value  

r is the rate of depreciation  in decimal  

x  is Number of Time Periods  

in this problem we have  

P=\$6,000\\r=15\%=15/100=0.15\\x=3\ years

substitute

V=6,000(1-0.15)^{3}  

V=6,000(0.85)^{3}

V=\$3,684.75
