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

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer and explanation;

Health-care in the ancient world was very experimental and under researched. The ancient methods for health care was  affordable only if the best health care was accessible when needed.

The embryos of a bird, a reptile, and a mammal are similar in appearance. How does comparing the physical appearance of embryos
Blababa [14]

Answer:

I believe the answer is A.

Explanation:

Species may share similar physical features because that feature was present in a common ancestor. These features are known as homologous structures.

Answers b, c, and d sound probable, but those responses of foods, habitat, and genetic mutation don't directly correlate with the theory of evolution.

For example: In option d, these organisms all most likely suffered from a genetic mutation, but the similarity of the embryos does not prove that.
