Greeley [361]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

8

Explanation:

The fly has only 3 pairs of somatic chromosomes, that means that only can combine 3 chromosomes. To calculate the combinations the exponential 2n it is used. In this case is 2 to the third power that is equal = 2 x 2 x 2 = 8

This fly also has a fourth pair, but this one is the sexual one, so the main function of this gene is to give the sex to the offspring.

In Pepperland, occupational success (measured by salary) is inversely proportional to the quantitative trait, "BlueMeanie-ness".
shtirl [24]

Answer:

Please see below

Explanation:

First of all we need to examine and rank all BlueMeanie-ness scores from the Pepperlanders who took the test.

Ranked scores (from lowest to highest):  8.85; 10.80; 62.98; 88.07; 90.50.

Since the rationale is: occupational success is inversely proportional to the BlueMeani-ness score, it follows that the lower the score, the higher the occupational success, measured by salary. Therefore, the individuals with their scores on the low end will have a higher salary and the individuals with the higher scores will have a lower salary.

Conclusion: The individuals with scores 8.85 and 10.80 will likely have the higher wages.
