Answer:

so in the punnet square, you hvae the 4 squares inside the big on. on top of the square, you have 2 letters, representing the dominant and the repressed genes. On one side, typically the left, you have another two letters, again genes. to get the gene types to fill in your squares, you take the first letter of the top set and the first letter of the side set. for this example, we are going to use Bb(top) and BB(side). you would take the B from the top, and you would pu it with the B from the side. in the top left square, you should have BB. next, you go and take that same top B and do it with the second letter of the side, B again. this again gives you BB. next, you take the second letter of the top, b, and you join it with B. in the top right square, you would write or type in Bb. Even though the b was on top, it is after the B because in this cause, it is not the dominant gene. when you do the second top and side letters together, you again get Bb.

Explanation:

the main points.

in this example, i used B to be the dominant gene and b to be the repressed/ submissive gene.
you always put the dominant gene letter before the repressed
make sure you fill the squares in properly.
in this one, you should have 3 BB and 1 Bb. this shows that the gene set BB is going to show
when you fill in the squares, the first top letter and the first side letter fill in the top left square.
the first top letter and the second side letter go left bottom.
second top letter and first side letter go in right top.
second top and second side go in right bottom.
always place the dominant gene first in the punnet square.

add me and message me if you need more help. we can also zoom to figure it out.

The Punnett square is a square diagram that is used to predict the genotypes of a particular cross or breeding experiment. It is named after Reginald C. Punnett, who devised the approach. The diagram is used by biologists to determine the probability of an offspring having a particular genotype.

i dont understand what you are saying but water gets evaporated from the oceans due to the suns warmth all the water vapors condense, once the clouds get too heavy and there are too many water vapors in the cloud for it to handle, it percipitates (rains)

Flowers are living plants that grow if they have water and sun 2. without a lot of sun the flower will not be able to grow as tall and properly 3. flowers have a certain part that the bees collect to there hive in order to keep there colony growing 1. cones have a certain shape that make them easier to identify them from other parts of nature 2. Pine cones only come from pine trees, although all conifers produce cones. 3. Gymnosperms are a group of plants who have naked seeds, not enclosed in an ovary. 1. spores may consist of one or several cells (but do not contain an embryo) and are produced in large numbers 2. Some germinate rapidly, others 'rest', surviving unfavorable environmental conditions. 3.Spores are formed by ferns, horsetails, mosses, fungi and bacteria.

Why do people feel fireworks before hearing it?

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

People feel fireworks before hearing it because light travels faster than sound.

Explanation:

We always see the colors of the fireworks before hearing their defeaning sounds. This is because light travels faster than sound, so we can see the light before hearing the sound. An example of this is seeing lightning before hearing thunder. When lightning strikes, the air around it moves very quickly, causing vibrations.

Hope this helps!

Atmospheric carbon dioxide dissolves into ocen surface waters

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

Carbon dioxide, which is naturally in the atmosphere, dissolves into seawater. Water and carbon dioxide combine to form carbonic acid (H2CO3), a weak acid that breaks (or “dissociates”) into hydrogen ions (H+) and bicarbonate ions (HCO3-).
