Answer and Explanation:

<u>Cross:</u> aa Bb dd Ee x AA bb Dd Ee

We can calculate the probability of getting heterozygous individuals in the progeny by using the <u>product rule</u>. Assuming that these four genes <u>assort independently</u> (<em>events that occur independently from each other</em>), we can infer that the F1 will have the next genotypic proportions for each gene:

1) aa     x     AA

F1) 4/4=1 Aa

2) Bb    x    bb

F1) ½ bb

     ½ Bb

3) dd    x    Dd

F1) ½ dd

     ½ Dd

4) Ee    x    Ee

F1) ¼ EE

    2/4 = ½ Ee

     ¼ ee

So, to know what the probability is that the F1 of being heterozygous for all loci, we must multiply the respective individual probabilities of getting a heterozygous genotype, like this:  

1 Aa   x   ½ Bb   x    ½ Dd    x    ½ Ee = 1/8 AaBbDdEe

When you walk your dog, you're using energy from the sun to power this activity, explain.
Katyanochek1 [597]
Energy from sunlight is being used in an indirect way for walking the dog. Plants photosynthesize in which they absorb energy from sun and convert it into chemical energy, which is stored in organic product formed as a result of photosynthesis. When this organic compound is consumed by us, we use the chemical energy stored in that food to mechanical energy for walking the dog. Hence, the energy to walk the dog comes from sunlight.
