Mendel used single gene (or monohybrid) experiments to describe his law of segregation. He used _______ characters (or dihybrid)
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

Law of Independent assortment

Explanation:

Gregor Mendel, who was regarded the father of Genetics, discovered principles that governs inheritance in his experiments. He discovered that the alleles of a gene will separate into gametes when he performed a crossed involving a single gene or character like height, pea color etc. He proposed his law of segregation based on this.

However, he considered two characters or genes in his cross, which he called a DIHYBRID cross. He discovered that the alleles of each different gene separates into gametes independently of one another i.e. without one gene influencing the other in each gamete. He called this principle his LAW OF INDEPENDENT ASSORTMENT.

He obtained a 9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratio for the F2 dihybrid offsprings which is only possible if each gamete equally likely contains two alleles of the two different genes in different combinations.

List 4 ways in which you can decrease your chances of catching the flu or cold
shutvik [7]
Hi there!

#1 Washing you’re hands after touching anything that may be dirty, or even just using the restroom.

#2 Disinfecting door nobs, handles, desks and things you may touch on a daily basis.

#3 Stay away from those you may think are sick.

#4 Having those around you remember to cover their mouths and noses while sneezing.

Remember to do this using the pit of you’re elbows NOT you’re hands. This can spread germs more easily.

Hope this helps you!

Round the number 14.587020 to 4 significant digits. a. 14.59 b. 14.58 c. 14.587 d. 15.00 Please select the best answer from the
gregori [183]

Answer:

A. 14.59

Explanation:

Firstly, rounding a number means making a number simpler but keeping its value close. So rounding 14.587020 means making it look less complex but making sure the rounded value is within range of the original value.

Next, we have to know that to round a number;

* Digits below 5 (<5) rounds down the next digit to their left i.e. we leave the digits the same and turn the rounding digit to 0.

* Digits above 5 (>5) rounds up the next digit to the left i.e. we add 1 to the next digit

Next, to round to 4 significant digits means we want to see only the first four non-zero digits in our value. Note that, all non-zero digits i.e. 1-9 are significant

Hence, 14.587020 will be:

= 14.587020

= 14.58700

= 14.59000

We have four (4) digits which are non-zero already, hence we stop here and remove all zeros to the right

Hence, 14.587020 to 4 significant digits is 14.59 i.e. 14.587020 ~ 14.59
