Answer:

1/12,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Size of a population of mustard plants = 6,000

Now,

According to genetic drift theory

The probability that a newly-arisen mutation will become fixed is given using the formula

⇒ 1 ÷ [ 2 × Size of a population of mustard plants ]

⇒ 1 ÷ [ 2 ×6,000 ]

⇒ [ 1 ÷ 12,000 ]

Hence,

probability that a newly-arisen mutation will become fixed in this population is 1/12,000

Determine whether this situation represents independent or dependent events. "Three green jelly bean, five red jelly beans and t
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

Independent Events

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Green = 3\\ Orange = 2\\ Red = 5

Required

Dependent or independent event

The probability of selecting a green jelly remains unchanged before and after selecting the first orange jelly.

<u>Before selecting the orange jelly:</u>

P(Green) = \frac{Green}{Total}

P(Green) = \frac{3}{10}

<u>After selecting the orange jelly:</u>

P(Green) = \frac{Green}{Total}

P(Green) = \frac{3}{10}

Because the probabilities remain unchanged, the selection of a green jelly is independent of the selection of the first orange jelly.
