Answer:

0.15 = 15%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the recessive allele x, and the dominant allele X.

The homozygotes have the pair xx, and the heterozygotes have the pair Xx.

If two heterozygotes conceive a child, there are four configurations that the child can have:

xx, xX, Xx, XX

the only configuration that allows the child the possibility to have extra fingers and toes is the xx, as this aspect is a recessive trait, so the probability of the child being xx is 25% (1 option between 4 options, all of them with equal probabilities).

If the child is xx, there is a chance of 60% of the child having extra fingers and toes. So, the final probability is:

25% * 60* = 0.25 * 0.6 = 0.15 = 15%

Find the surface area of the part of the sphere x2+y2+z2=81 that lies above the cone z=x2+y2−−−−−−√
TiliK225 [7]
Parameterize the part of the sphere by

\mathbf s(u,v)=(9\cos u\sin v,9\sin u\sin v,9\cos v)

with 0\le u\le2\pi and 0\le v\le\dfrac\pi4. Then

\mathrm dS=\|\mathbf s_u\times\mathbf s_v\|=81\sin v\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv

So the area of S (the part of the sphere above the cone) is given by

\displaystyle\iint_S\mathrm dS=81\int_{v=0}^{v=\pi/4}\int_{u=0}^{u=2\pi}\sin v\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv=81(2\pi)\left(1-\dfrac1{\sqrt2}\right)=(162-81\sqrt2)\pi

Why is the answer to a subtraction problem called the difference...
lana [24]
Maybe because you're finding the "difference" between the two numbers. We could also question why the answer to an addition problem is called sum.
Well, 'sum'body said that's what they should be called a long time ago, that's why we're using that term to call them now.
