Children tend to resemble their parents in many ways; they may have like eye color, hair texture, height, or skin tone. This is

because children inherit genes from both parents. A child receives 1/2 of his/her genes from the mother and the other half from the father. Genes are part of our DNA; our DNA makes up the chromosomes in our body and sex cells.
Sex cells or gametes are produced during the process of meiosis. Gametes have 1/2 the number of chromosomes as do regular body cells, like skin or muscle cells. When fertilization takes place, the two sets of alleles from the male gamete (sperm) and the female gamete (egg) are combined.


Many years ago, Gregor Mendel discovered that we have dominant and recessive traits that are determined by our genes. For examples, brown eyes are dominant over blue eyes. Scientists represent the gene for a trait with a letter: capital letter for dominant and lower case letter for recessive. A brown-eye person would have the genotype BB or Bb. A blue-eyes person would have the genotype bb. Whenever a dominant trait is combined with a recessive trait (Bb), the dominant trait most often masked the recessive trait.


Look at the grid above. This is called a Punnett square. It shows the genotypes of two parents and then the possible gametes that could be produced by each parent. We use the Punnett square to show the possible combinations of genes and the resulting traits. In this case, two black rats mate and their potential off-spring could be black (BB, Bb) or white (bb). The chances of having a black rat in this example is 3:4 or 75% and having a white rat is 1:4 or 25%.



Drag the labels to the correct locations within the Punnett square.

2.Divide atomic mass of potassium by total atomic mass

39/120.8= .323

2. Multiply by 100

A 5.0 L sample of gas at 300. K is heated to 600. K. What will the new volume of the gas be?
Ainat [17]

Answer:

V_2=10L

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information, it turns out possible for us to calculate the required new volume by using the Charles' law as a directly proportional relationship between temperature and volume:

\frac{V_2}{T_2} =\frac{V_1}{T_1}

In such a way, we solve for V2 and plug in V1, T1 and T2 to obtain:

V_2=\frac{V_1T_2}{T_1}\\\\V_2=\frac{5.0L*600K}{300K}\\\\V_2=10L

Answer:

0.5 mole

Explanation:

The question isn't even clear

But I'm guessing you want to ask the number of moles

n= Number of molecules/ Avogadros number

n= 1/2
