Assignment: Using Punnett Squares Exploration

2 answers:

7 0

You should draw these simple Punnett Squares as it's easy to see the answers:

1. Crossing RR x Rr results in all (100%) red cow offspring. 50% will be RR (homozygous dominant), 50% will be Rr (heterozygous).

2. Crossing Rr x Rr results in 3 red offspring (75%) and 1 white (25%). Genotypes though will be 25% RR, 50% Rr, and 25% rr.

3. Crossing rr x rr will result in 100% white offspring. All offspring will be rr.

Answer:

a) First cross is between a a homozygous red bull (RR) and a heterozygous red cow (Rr)

This shows that "Red" color is a dominant trait

So the cross between Rr and RR is

R R

R RR RR

r Rr Rr

Genotypic ratio: RR : Rr = 2 : 2 = 1: 1

Phenotypic ratio: homozygous red bull (RR) : heterozygous red cow (Rr) = 2:2 = 1: 1

b) Cross between a heterozygous red bull (Rr) and a heterozygous red cow (Rr)

R r

R RR Rr

r Rr rr

Genotypic ratio: RR : Rr:rr = 1:2:1

Phenotypic ratio: homozygous red bull (RR) : heterozygous red cow (Rr) : homozygous white bull (rr) = 1: 2: 1

c) Cross between a homozygous white bull (rr) and a homozygous white cow (rr)

Xr Yr

Xr Xr Xr Xr Yr

Genotypic ratio: Xr Xr: Xr Yr = 2: 2 = 1: 1

Phenotypic ratio: homozygous white cow (Xr Yr ) : heterozygous white bull (Xr Yr ) = 2: 2 = 1: 1

You wonder whether plants that are exposed to music grow faster than those that are not. Describe a controlled experiment you ca

RUDIKE [14]

The experimental procedure to test whether plants that are exposed to music grow faster than those that are not should follow the following steps. First, the plants must all be placed in a place where all must be exposed in the same type of environment in terms of sunlight, temperature, water and soil. Second, one of the plant must be exposed to two to three hours of classical music per day. Then you should expose one plant to five to six hours of music per day too. The remaining two plants will be treated as your control plants wherein these will be not exposed to music at all. Before you begin the experiment, you should take pictures of each plant. Next, you should take pictures after two, four and eight weeks. After the steps, observe any visible and palpable differences between the plants which were exposed to music and those that have note. Lastly, also observe the differences between the plants which were exposed to less and those exposed to more music.

Use Figure 1 to evaluate each trigonometric function of angle A . The side adjacent to angle A has length 8 and the side opposit

jonny [76]

The trigonometric ratios are;

Sin A = 0.78
Cos A = 0.625
Tan A = 1.25

<h3>What are the trigonometric ratio?</h3>

The trigonometric ratios are sine, cosine and tangent. Now we have the hypotenuse of the triangle. Figure 1 has been shown in the image attached to this answer.

c = √8^2 + 10^2

c = 12.8

sin A = 10/12.8 = 0.78

Cos A = 8/12.8 = 0.625

Tan A = 10/8 = 1.25
