Determine the possible traits of the calves if:
1 answer:
Answer:
1. All red calves i.e. RR
2. All roan calves i.e RW
3. 2 red calves (RR) and two roan calves (RW)
Explanation:
According to this question, a gene coding for fur colour in cattle is involved. Red alleles (R) and white alleles (W) are co-dominant to produce a roan cattle (RW). The possible traits of the following crosses are (see attached punnet square):
1) A red bull (RR) is mated to a red (RR) cow: All red calves i.e. RR
2) A red (RR) bullis mated with white (WW) cow: All roan calves i.e RW
3) A roan bull (RW) is mated with red (RR) cow: 2 red calves (RR) and two roan calves (RW).

Given the data, the correct statement is
Even though for a majority of the race they accelerated at the same rate, Beverly won because her initial acceleration was greater than Carl’s
<h3>What is acceleration? </h3>This is defined as the rate of change of velocity which time. It is expressed as
a = (v – u) / t
Where
- a is the acceleration
- v is the final velocity
- u is the initial velocity
- t is the time
- Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s
- Final velocity (v) = 15 m/s
- Time (t) = 10 s
- Initial acceleration (a₁) =?
a₁ = (v – u) / t
a₁ = (15 – 0) / 10
a₁ = 1.5 m/s²
<h3>How to determine the final acceleration of Beverly</h3>- Initial velocity (u) = 15 m/s
- Final velocity (v) = 35 m/s
- Time (t) = 50 - 10 = 40 s
- Final acceleration (a₂) =?
a₂ = (v – u) / t
a₂ = (35 – 15) / 40
a₂ = 0.5 m/s²
<h3>How to determine the initial acceleration of Carl</h3>- Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s
- Final velocity (v) = 10 m/s
- Time (t) = 10 s
- Initial acceleration (a₁) =?
a₁ = (v – u) / t
a₁ = (10 – 0) / 10
a₁ = 1 m/s²
<h3>How to determine the final acceleration of Carl</h3>- Initial velocity (u) = 10 m/s
- Final velocity (v) = 30 m/s
- Time (t) = 50 - 10 = 40 s
- Final acceleration (a₂) =?
a₂ = (v – u) / t
a₂ = (30 – 10) / 40
a₂ = 0.5 m/s²
SUMMARY
- Initial acceleration of Beverly = 1.5 m/s²
- Final acceleration of Beverly = 0.5 m/s²
- Initial acceleration of Carl = 1 m/s²
- Final acceleration of Carl = 0.5 m/s²
From the above calculations, we can see that Beverly's initial acceleration is higher than that of Carl's and their final acceleration is the same.
Therefore, the correct answer to the question is:
Even though for a majority of the race they accelerated at the same rate, Beverly won because her initial acceleration was greater than Carl’s
