Six thousand reindeer once lived on a remote island in the Bering Sea
that was briefly their paradise. In what has become a classic story of
wildlife boom and bust, no reindeer live on St. Matthew Island now.
Three scientists just looked back at the St. Matthew's reindeer herd and
found that an extreme winter probably pushed the stressed animals to
their deaths.
He is making a plant cell since the cell walls are box shaped, the balloon would be the large vacuole which takes up a lot of space in the cell, the marbles would be the ribosomes.
In order to find the percentage of the litters that will consist of two wavy- haired and three straight-haired offspring, you need to use the binomial distribution formula: P(x) = ⁿCₓ × pₓ × qⁿ⁻ˣ
P is the probability that the litters will consist of two wavy-haired and three straight-haired offspring.
X is considered to be the number of times the offspring will have wavy-air in a litter of 5 offspring, which is 2.
n is the number of offspring per litter.
p is the probability of happening wavy hair.
q is the probability of having straight hair.
It comes like this:
P(X=2)=⁵C₂×0.5²×0.5⁵⁻² ⇔ P(X=2)=10×0.25×0.125 ⇔ P(X=2)=0.3125
So, the percentage of the litters that will consist of two wavy-haired and three straight-haired offspring is 31.25%.
Answer:
Any somatic cells in a diploid eukaryotic organism will have the diploid number (2n) of chromosomes. For humans that number is 46
