The Punnett square is a valuable tool, but it's not ideal for every genetics problem. For instance, suppose you were asked to calculate the frequency of the recessive class not for an Aa x Aa cross, not for an AaBb x AaBb cross, but for an AaBbCcDdEe x AaBbCcDdEe cross. If you wanted to solve that question using a Punnett square, you could do it – but you'd need to complete a Punnett square with 1024 boxes. Probably not what you want to draw during an exam, or any other time, if you can help it!

The five-gene problem above becomes less intimidating once you realize that a Punnett square is just a visual way of representing probability calculations. Although it’s a great tool when you’re working with one or two genes, it can become slow and cumbersome as the number goes up. At some point, it becomes quicker (and less error-prone) to simply do the probability calculations by themselves, without the visual representation of a clunky Punnett square. In all cases, the calculations and the square provide the same information, but by having both tools in your belt, you can be prepared to handle a wider range of problems in a more efficient way.

In this article, we’ll review some probability basics, including how to calculate the probability of two independent events both occurring (event X and event Y) or the probability of either of two mutually exclusive events occurring (event X or event Y). We’ll then see how these calculations can be applied to genetics problems, and, in particular, how they can help you solve problems involving relatively large numbers of genes.

How do i explain this?

Answer:

Oxygen debt is a physiological phenomenon in which a person consume oxygen at fater rate that it replaced by new oxygen molecules.

As shown in the graph, oxygen debt occurs just after the end of exercise because oxygen is consumed at faster rate during exercise that leads to  increased respiration and body attempts to replace the used oxygen.

To overcome the problem of oxygen debt, a person should take rest that allows the body to replenish its oxygen supply.

What name is given to the most common phenotype in a natural population?
Artemon [7]

Answer:

The correct answer would be d. wild-type.

Wild type refers to the gene, strain, or character which is most commonly found in the population in natural conditions.

The allele or the gene which is found rarely in the population is termed as mutant allele or character.

For example, the wild-type phenotype of fur color of tigers is orange with black strips whereas the mutant phenotype would be a white coat with black strips.

Helga [31]
The very function, or job of CELL MEMBRANES is to protect the cell from it's surroundings, or in other words, to keep it safe. It controls the movement of substances in and out of cells and organelles, like a guard watching for suspicious activity and protecting something.

The cell membrane itself is a thin, flexible layer around the cells of all living things. It separates the inside of the cells from the outside of the cells.
