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

How do scientists separate the layers of the atmosphere
natali 33 [55]
<span>Well, there are five layers in the Earth's Atmosphere:

(In order from the inside out)

1) Troposphere
- This is where weather occurs.

2) Stratosphere
- This is the layer where jets fly, this is where jet-streams are found

3) Mesosphere
- Meso ("Middle") named because it is in the middle. This is where meteros burn up in the atmosphere.

4) Thermosphere
- Thermo ("Heat") Names because it is the hottest layer in the atmosphere. This is where the aurora borealis, or northern lights occur.

5) Exosphere
- Exo ("Outer") This is the outmost layer and it is where the atmosphere merges with outer space.</span>
