Let’s call them allele A, allele B and allele C. A diploid organism always has 2 alleles, which can be equal or different. So you can figure out these posible combinations: AA, AB, AC, BB, BC, CC (please note that AB = BA, so that counts as 1 genotype; the same with AC = CA, BC = CB). So there are 6 different posible genotypes. Besides, this doesn’t mean there are 6 phenotypes – you will have to gather information about dominance to see which phenotype is produced by each genotype (there are usually less phenotypes than genotypes).

List the three laws of Newton in your words. Give an example of each.
OLga [1]

1. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction

2. Force = mass times acceleration

3. An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted on by another force.

3. One example is a rock rolling down a hill. You could use a stick or your foot to stop it, but otherwise it would keep rolling

2. An example for law No.2 is pushing a shopping cart. If you push an empty shopping cart, it will go faster than a full shopping cart because the full shopping cart has more mass.

1. One example is a cup on a table. The cup exerts a force down on the table due to gravity, the table exerts an equal and opposite force on the cup to stop it falling through the table
