A cross between individuals that are heter0zyg0us for two different traits is a dihybrid cross. A cross between two individuals that are heterozygous for eye and skin color would be an example of a _dihybrid_ cross.

----------------------

Dihybrid crosses involve individuals that expresses two different traits and are heter0zyg0us for each of them.

So let us imagine we are studing the characters eye color and skin color. Let us assume that both of them are coded by single diallelic genes.

For eye color there is

Dominant allele B that codes for brown eyes
Recessive allele b that codes for blue eyes

For skin color there is

Dominant allele A that codes for black skin
Recessive allele a that codes for white skin

So, an individual that is heter0zyg0us for both of them, is BbAa.

If this person crosses to another person with the same genotype, we are talking about a dihybrid cross, because two dibybrid individuals are involved.

Cross: BbAa x BbAa

According to this information, we can aswer the question:

When crossing two individuals that are heterozygous for eye and skin color we are referring to a dihybrid cross.

It will take 15 years for Della to be in the same risk of non-smoking persons in risk of cardiovascular disease. As you quit smoking, the lungs will start to purify itself, but it will take some time.

You are served dessert at a restaurant. You want to know what % of the calories in the dessert are from fat. The menu states tha

jasenka [17]

Answer:

39.82 %

Explanation:

Proteins and carbohydrates provide 4 calories per gram. On the other hand, fats provide 9 calories.

We can first calculate the calories of protein + carbohydrates:

(30g + 4g) x 4 = 136 calories

And we must calculate the calories provided by fat:

10g x 9 = 90 calories

Now to get the percentage we must see how many calories the dessert has in total:

136 + 90 = 226 cal

This represents 100% of calories. And now we need to find out how much 90 calories are from the total.

226 cal -----> 100%

90 cal ------> X

(90 x 100) / 226 = 39.82 %
