Answer:

Two heterozygous parents have a <u>50%</u> chance of contributing one of their alleles to each offspring.

Explanation:

Individuals who are heterozygous for a specific trait have two different alleles in the gene that determines that trait. This characteristic makes their chances of contributing each of their alleles to the offspring 50%.

The alleles of a gene are distributed in the gametes by the process of meiosis, which results in daughter cells with half the genetic charge, so each gamete can only have one copy of the allelic pair of a gene.  

On the other hand, if an individual has two equal alleles for a characteristic in a gene, he has a 100% chance of passing that allele on to his descendants.

It acts as a weed killer by blocking photosynthesis

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is important to plants because it is their principal form of energy.

When DCMU is introduced to weeds, what it does is to block or slow down the process of photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide fixation is slowed down causing weeds to die off. DCMU strongly slows down photosystem II. When this is done, lipid and protein membranes would get destroyed and the weed cells would begin to dry and shed off

Answer:

P (actually that randomly selected person has diabetes given as given by the lab) = 0.7725

Explanation:

A probability is a number, between 0 and 1, expressing the precise likelihood of an event happening.

Probability (person actually has diabetes) = 5.9%

P(lab test says that they have diabetes) = 0.0764

P (actually that randomly selected person has diabetes given as given by the lab) = 0.7725
