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.

When a lunar eclipse happens, which would we not see: the sun or the moon?
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

the sun

Explanation:

The typical lunar eclipse happens when the Sun, Earth and moon are all aligned 180 degrees apart from each other in the sky. When this happens, the Earth casts a shadow onto the moon, so the Sun should not be visible at all if you can still see the moon.

Pepsi [2]
It wakes up the hormones in your body so you can reproduce in the first place, and it also helps to mature and prepare your body, and your cells, so it is able to reproduce. By waking up those hormones, your body is able to perform reproductive processes
