Answer:

Perfectly in theory, except there is chance involved

Explanation:

The Punnet square is a diagram that allows scientists to predict the possible outcomes of the offspring when the genotypes of the parents are known. This is in line with Mendel's principles, and from a theoretical point of view would match up perfectly. However, it all works based on <em>probability</em>.

However, inheritance is always down to chance. Of your parents 2 alleles, you always have 50:50 chance of inheriting one of the allele. Overall, this is what is predicted in punnet squares.

However, think about flipping a coin. There is always 50:50 chance of getting heads, but that doesn't mean it is impossible to flip a coin and get tails 10 x in a row. It is just less likely. So in reality, observations might deviate from the theory.

Acompound has the empirical formula CH.
ozzi
The empirical formula is the simplest whole number ration that defines constituent atoms in a species. The molecular formula is always a multiple of the empirical formula.

Molecule Formula = 78.0 • g • mol ^ -1 = n(12.011 + 1.00794) • g • mol ^ -1

78
N = ——————————- = 6
12.011 + 1.00794

Molecular Formula = C6H6

What statement best describes an independent variable?
prisoha [69]
<span>Answer : D. The factor that's changed by the experimenter and impacts the dependent variable.<span>

</span><span>An independent variable is a variable in which you can manipulate or control while the dependent variable depends on the independent variable. An example of an independent variable is the running while the dependent variable is your pulse rate. The pulse rate depends on how fast and how long is the distance of your run. The pulse rate maybe higher and faster if you’ve run quite long and will be close to stable if you only run for a short distance and slow speed.</span></span>
