Answer:

Fossils provide solid evidence that organisms from the past are not the same as those found today; fossils show a progression of evolution. Fossils, along with the comparative anatomy of present-day organisms, constitute the morphological, or anatomical, record.

The simple interest on $200 at 12% for 2 years is

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

d. $48

Explanation:

1 year = 12% = 0.12

2 years = 12% × 2

2 years = 24% = 0.24

24% of $200 = 0.24 × 200

24% of $200 = $48

Therefore the interest on $200 for 2 years is $48

There are 5 steps of the scientific method

1. Make a question

2. Do some research for that question

3. Make a hypothesis ( guess what might happen during the experiment)

4. Test and Collect Data

If a heterozygous plant with green seeds self-fertilizes, what is the probability that 6 seeds in a single pod of the progeny pl

nalin [4]

Here is the complete question

The seeds in bush bean pods are each the product of an independent fertilization event. Green seed color is dominant to white seed color in bush beans.

If a heterozygous plant with green seeds self-fertilizes, what is the probability that 6 seeds in a single pod of the progeny plant will consist of:

A) 4 green and 2 white seeds?

B) all white seeds?

C) at least 5 white seeds?

Answer:

A) 0.3

B) 0.0002

C) 0.001

Explanation:

Let the allele for Green plant be = P

Let the allele for white plant be = p

Let the heterozygous plant be Pp, if self fertilization occurs we have:

P p

P PP Pp

p Pp pp

From the punnet square above, we have the following cross;

PP, Pp, Pp, pp

Since P is dominant to p; we have a phenotypic ratio of 3:1 between the dominant phenotype ( PP, Pp, Pp ) and recessive phenotype ( pp )

NOW, the probability for the green plant(i.e PP or Pp) will be: $Pr(G)=\frac{3}{4}$

the probability for the white plant (pp) will be: $Pr (W)= \frac{1}{4}$

what is the probability that 6 seeds in a single pod of the progeny plant will consist of 4 green and 2 white seeds?

$Pr(4G2W)$ = $(\frac{3}{4})*(\frac{3}{4})*(\frac{3}{4})*(\frac{3}{4})*(\frac{1}{4})*(\frac{1}{4})$

The probability includes the use of permutation:

$Permutation(P)=\frac{6!}{(4!*2!)} * (\frac{3}{4})*(\frac{3}{4})*(\frac{3}{4})*(\frac{3}{4})*(\frac{1}{4})*(\frac{1}{4})$

= $15*(\frac{3}{4})*(\frac{3}{4})*(\frac{3}{4})*(\frac{3}{4})*(\frac{1}{4})*(\frac{1}{4})$

= 0.2966

≅ 0.3

What is the probability that 6 seeds in a single pod of the progeny plant will consist of all white seeds?

Since probability for white seed = $\frac{1}{4}$

The probability that 6 seeds will consist of all white seeds will be = $(\frac{1}{4})^6$

= 2.44 × 10⁻⁴

= 0.000244

≅ 0.0002

What is the probability that 6 seeds in a single pod of the progeny plant will consist of at least 5 white seeds?

For at least 5 white seeds, the probability will consist of 5 white seeds and 6 white seeds.

For 5 white seeds; we have:

5 White and 1 Green Since there are 6 permutations.

The probability For 5 white seeds will therefore be :

$Pr(5 seeds)=(\frac{1}{4})^5*(\frac{3}{4})^1 *6$

= 7.32 × 10⁻⁴

= 0.000732

For 6 white seeds; we have:

Only one permutation for 6 whites since there will no be any presence of any green seed.

$Pr(6seeds)=(\frac{1}{4})^6$

= 2.44 × 10⁻⁴

= 0.000244

∴

The total probability for at least 5 white seeds = 0.000732 + 0.000244

= 9.76 × 10⁻⁴

= 0.000976

≅ 0.001
