You are studying a variety of pea plant that has either red flowers or white flowers. When you cross true-breeding red-flowering

plants with true-breeding white-flowering plants, you get all red-flowering plants in the F1 generation. If you then allow the F1 plants to self-fertilize, you observe that 75% of the F2 plants are red-flowering plants, while 25% of the F2 plants are white-flowering plants. Next you make 640 different monohybrid crosses and decide to analyze only the first 8 plants produced from each of these crosses (i.e. a total of 5120 progeny plants total). How many of these crosses would be expected to produce 6 red plants and 2 white plants?

Answer:

approximately 200

Explanation:

From the question, we have

probability of red = 0.75

Probability of white = 0.25

We are required to find the probability of 6 red + 2 white plants offspring and after we do we multiply it by 640

We will solve this using the binomial theorem method

(a+b)⁸ = a⁸+8a⁷b+28a⁶b²+56a⁵b³+70a⁴b⁴+56a³b⁵+28a²b⁶+8a¹b⁷+b⁸

The required probability is 28a⁶b²

a = 0.75

b = 0.25

= 28 x 0.75⁶ x 0.25² x 640

= 28 x 0.178 x 0.0625 x 640

= 199.36

Which is approximately 200 crosses would be needed

Step 3: Make a claim. a) Recall what you know about crossing over, independent assortment, and random joining of sex cells durin
natta225 [31]

Answer:

Crossing over is a process in which exchange of segments occur between two non sister chromatids.

Explanation:

Crossing over is a process in which two non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes exchange the segments of genetic material with each other during meiosis. Due to this process, variation occurs in an organism.

Independent assortment is a process in which different alleles are sorted to different gametes which occurs independently and does not effect one another. This process occurs in metaphase of meiosis l.

Joining of sex cells is a process in which sex cells of male and female join together formed a zygote which turn into a new organism. These sex cells are formed during meiosis which are haploid in nature.

Mutation and crossing over are the factors that cause inherited genetic variations within populations.

Sudden change occurs in the genes of an organism due to the exposure of the cell to radiation or chemicals.

How does the economy influence energy source choices?
trapecia [35]
Since the resources aren't efficient enough and the supply isn't meeting the demands of the growing populace as economics dictates. Humans paved way into this renewable energy.

The use of our renewable energy resources provides great benefits for our health, climate and the economy. One of the benefits of using these resources are it lessens the destruction pace of the ozone layer that greatly contributes to the global warming. Considering that the negative effects of the global warming will be decreased it naturally means that there is an improved health of the people in the community because of the usage of organic ang renewable energy. It also strengthens and improves the economy of the country because the country no longer needs to import resources if there is renewable energy.
