Having freckles (F) is dominant over not having freckles (f). A parent with freckles is crossed with a parent without freckles.

The Punnett square shows the possible genotypes of the offspring.
What is the probability that an offspring will have a homozygous dominant genotype?
%

What is the probability that an offspring will have a heterozygous genotype?
%

What is the probability that an offspring will have a homozygous recessive genotype?
%

Answer:

This is a trick question, and only because the question is vague

Explanation:

Use a Punnet Square to figure out the percentages.

If the parent with freckles (let's just call them Parent A) is homozygous dominant, their genotype would be FF.  The parent without freckles (Parent B) has a genotype of ff.

In any situation, the probability of these two having a child that is homozygous dominant for freckles is 0%.  (see punnet squares for more info).  

Now here's where it gets a little more confusing because the question is kind of vague on this.

Assuming that Parent A is homozygous dominant (both genes for this are dominant (FF)), then the probability of having a heterozygous (non-identical genotype letters, meaning they carry the recessive trait) genotype is 100%.  However, if Parent A is also heterozygous, then that percentage decreases to 50%

For Situation A (Parent A is homozygous dominant), the probability of a homozygous recessive genotype is 0%

For Situation B (Parent A is heterozygous dominant), the probability of a homozygous recessive child is 50%.

Please see the Punnet square I made for more information.

Key:

- Homozygous Dominant: FF

- Heterozygous Dominant: Ff

- Homozygous Recessive: ff

(heterozygous recessive does not exist, because that would mean one of the genes is dominant, which would overpower the recessive gene)

I really hope this helps, and if you're confused by this, please do not hesitate to let me know!

Explain each of the following, giving a named example in each case:
gogolik [260]
(a) solute = substance (solid or liquid) in lesser amount, which will [dis]solve into the solvent

(b) solvent = substance (liquid) in larger amount, which [dis]solves the solvent
it's dissolvability is called "solvency"
water is known as the universal solvent because it is abundant on Earth and has a high solvency

(c) solution = the combination of solvent + solute
depending on the saturation of solute within solvent, the solution may appear clear, like the solvent

**think of warm sugar-water (solution), when all the sugar (solute) dissolves into the water (solvent), the solute seems to have disappeared

In photosynthesis, redox reactions ultimately transfer electrons from ______ to ______.
german

The correct answer is: D) H2O… CO2

Redox reactions are reactions of reduction (molecules tend to gain electrons) and oxidation (molecules tend to lose electrons).

Photosynthesis is a set of redox reactions. In photosynthesis electrons are removed from water (H2O) to carbon dioxide CO2 and then used to turn CO2 into organic compounds.  

The first step: Oxygen in water is oxidized (light energy required)

The second step: Carbon in CO2 is reduced; sugar is formed (dark reaction).
