The genealogy tree which is missing from the question is in the attachment.

Answer: 1) P1 = \frac{1}{2}; 2) P2 = \frac{1}{2}; 3)P3 = \frac{1}{16}

Explanation: 1) According to the genealogy tree, the individual III-3 has a P1 = 1/2, because each of the parents are heterozygous for the condition, since one of the ofspring is affected.

2) For individual III-4, one of the parents is heterozygous for the condition, so the probability of being a carrier is P2 = 1/2.

3) Now, for individual IV-1 be affected, the parents has to be carrier. So, this probability, depends on the probability of each parent being heterozygous and that the individual will be carrying the condition, which means:

P3 = 1/2 · 1/2 · 1/4 = 1/16.

The probability of having the condition is 1/16 or 6.25%.

What would explain the change in the size of a gummy bear after it is placed in regular water?
salantis [7]

Answer:

The change in size of a gummy bear when placed in water is due to the presence of gelatin in the gummy bears.

Explanation:

Most of the gummy candies, like the gummy bears are made up of gelatin. To make the gummy bears, water and gelatin are mixed and heated. Then, this mixture is allowed to cool. During cooling, the water evaporates leaving the gelatin in a chewy form.

When the gummy bear is placed in water, the water is absorbed by the gummy bear due to  osmosis. Hence, the gummy bears tend to increase in size.

Water is a hygroscopic substance i.e it tends to absorb water. So, this property of gelatin will enable it to absorb water and increase in size.
