Snapdragon plants have a gene that determines the presence of chlorophyll. The dominant allele (C) causes the plant to make chlo

rophyll, while the recessive allele (c) makes none. Snapdragons that are homozygous dominiant (CC) are green, whereas those that are heterozygous (Cc or cC) are yellow. The homozygous recessive plants die almost immediately due to lack of chlorophyll. If a healthy adult snapdragon is chosen at random from a large population of offspring of a heterozygous cross, about 1/3 will have zero copies of the recessive, and 2/3 will have one copy. Let X be a RV that represents the number of copies of the recessive allele. Eight healthy Snapdragon plants were chosen at random from a large population of offspring of a heterozygous cross.

Answer: i)For X = (0,1) then P(x) = (1/3, 2/3)

              ii) Then p=(2/3) as n=8

              iii) 0.06828

Step-by-step explanation:

Use binomial distribution:

Probability of being yellow (by having 1 recessive allele) is 2/3. This is a binomial distribution with p=2/3. And since there are 8 selections, our n is 8. So p=(2/3), n=8.

Recall that in binomial distribution P(X=x) = C(n,x) × p^x × (1-p)^n-x.

So for 3 out of 8, it means x=3 and n=8.  

Our equation becomes P(exactly three Snapdragon are yellow) = P(X=3) = (8C3) × (2/3)³ × (1/3)5 = 0.06828

What ate the domain and range of f(x)(1/6)x+2?
never [62]

Answer:

Domain : all real numbers

Range: All numbers greater than 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The shark. (Haha, I'm sorry.)

There are no restrictions on the x. X can be any real number.

The range, however, does have restrictions. The range has to be a number greater than 0.

Why?

Because any number that you put in for x won't make the range less than 2. If you put in zero for x, the range is 2.

Torrey has $20 to buy a birthday present for her that she does this to buy a CD for $18 the sales tax is 7% does she have enough
Effectus [21]
No, because she will go over by .57 cents. So she won't be able to buy the gift. You can find the answer by dividing 18 by 7 and adding that answer to 18 to get the amount total you owe including tax.
