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>

Write a equation of a line through (4, 6) and (-10, 2)
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

y=2/7x+34/7

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope of this line is 2/7.

y=2/7x+?

? is the y-intercept.

Looking at the line that we have graphed, we can see that it intersects at  34/7 y.

the equation for the line that goes through 4,6 and -10, 2 is

y=2/7x + 34/7

Name two lines in the diagram.
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

Options (3) and (6)

Step-by-step explanation:

"A straight line is a set of all points between two points and extending beyond these points."

Therefore, from the given diagram,

Arrows connecting set of two points B and C and D and E will be straight lines.

Geometrically we denote them with an arrow over the line.

\overleftrightarrow {BC} and \overleftrightarrow {DE}

Therefore, Options (3) and (6) will be the answer.
