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.

The National Park Service protects habitats such as the Florida Everglades. Which explanation states the importance of conservin
Anna [14]

The importance of conservation of habitats is that habitat conservation protects biodiversity in the region.

<h3>Conservation of habitats</h3>

Habitat can be defined as an environment that is made up of resources that are used by a particular organism.

There are different types of habitat which include:

  • aquatic habitat,

  • terrestrial habitat and

  • arboreal habitat.

These habitats needs to be conserved to maintain biodiversity which is an essential part of global food security.

which of the following is not an abiotic factor in the prairie ecosystem a water b sunlight c grass d soil​
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

Grass

Explanation:

Biotic means living. There are some obvious abiotic factors here. The only gray area is what "soil" encompasses

grass-Biotic means living, all of the other choices are not living, and would therefore be abiotic factors

This is because it is a living thing (performs photosynthesis and cellular respiration).

Biotic means living, all of the other choices are not living, and would therefore be abiotic factors
