Answer:

If one amoeba dies then two amoeba get born:

at different stages of the generations of the amoeba it changes accordingly and the died amoeba numbers are also change in the given manner :

          stages    dies                          born

          I               1                                2

          II              2^{1}           4 = 2^{2}

          III              2^{2}          8 = 2^{3}

At  n^{th} =  2^{n}    2^{n+1}

By the geometric series formula:

 1+a^{1}+ a^{2}+ a^{3}...+ a^{n}=\frac{a^{n+1} }{a^-1} }

so,  1+2^{1}+ 2^{2}+ 2^{3}...+ 2^{n}=\frac{2^{n+1} }{2^-1} }

Thus, total amoeba died = 2^{n+1}-1

        total amoeba died+1 = 2^{n+1} (born).... hence prooved

11. Punnett squares can also be used to predict genotypes of the parents. A guinea pig with short hair is crossed
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

Ss × ss

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for hair length in guinea pigs. The alleles for short hair (S) is dominant over that of long hair (s).

According to this question, a guinea pig with short hair (S_) is crossed to one that has long hair (ss) to produce offsprings that have 44 short hair and 46 long hair. This number of offsprings produced indicate a ratio of 1:1, which can only be produced if the short haired guinea pig is heterozygous i.e. Ss.

Therefore, the genotype of the parents are Ss (short hair) and ss (long hair) i.e. Ss × ss. This combination will produce offsprings with the following proportion: Ss (1) : ss (1).
