Answer:

a. a nontaster girl= 1/8

b. a taster girl= 3/8

c. a taster boy= 3/8

Explanation:

Let's assume that the allele "T" is responsible for the taster phenotype while the recessive allele "t" gives the nontaster phenotype. The taster woman had a nontaster father (tt). Therefore, she is heterozygous dominant (Tt). The taster man had a nontaster daughter (tt) which means that he also has one "t" allele and his genotype is "Tt".

A cross between Tt and Tt would produce progeny in following ratio=

Tt x Tt= 3/4 taster: 1/4 nontaster

The probability of sons and daughters during each reproduction is=

XX x XY= 1/2 XX and 1/2 XY

Therefore,  

a. probability of having a nontaster girl= 1/4 x 1/2  = 1/8

b. a taster girl= 3/4 x 1/2 = 3/8

c. a taster boy= 3/4 x 1/2 = 3/8

lina2011 [118]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Farmers definitely use the information above to plan out their crops from one year to next.</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Nitrogen is an essential nutrient required for healthy plant growth. Corn is an important food crop and after its cultivation the soil is depleted of its nitrogen. <em>Cultivation of any crop on soils that lack nitrogen will not yield good result.</em>  

Thus the nitrogen in the soil has to be replenished. Soybean is a crop that has symbiotic bacteria living on its roots. <em>This bacteria help in fixing atmospheric nitrogen.</em> Thus the nitrogen level will get replenished.  

Thus cultivating soybean on the land in the period between <em>harvest and sowing of corn would be a healthy practice that increases yield and maintains soil health.  </em>
