61. Let us assume that hairy toes (hh) and brittle ear wax (ww) are both recessive traits in humans. In families of three childr

en where both parents are heterozygotes at both loci (they have smooth toes and sticky ear wax) what is the probability that the family will consist of one hairy-toed, brittle ear-waxed boy and two smooth-toed, sticky ear-waxed girls

The probability would be 81/32,768

<h3>Dihybrid crossing</h3>

Both parents are heterozygous at both loci, meaning that their genotype is HhWw.

Crossing two HhWw:

                  HhWw    x     HhWw

Offspring;

H_W_ - smooth toes, sticky earwax = 9/16

H_ww - smooth toes, brittle earwax = 3/16

hhW_ - hairy toes, sticky earwax = 3/16

hhww - hairy toes, brittle earwax = 1/16

Probability of a boy = 1/2

Probability of a girl = 1/2

Probability of having hairy toe, brittle earwax boy = 1/16 x 1/2

                                                                           = 1/32

Probability of smooth toe, sticky earwax girl = 9/16 x 1/2

                                                                        = 9/32

Probability of one hairy-toed, brittle ear-waxed boy and two smooth-toed, sticky ear-waxed girls = 1/32 x 9/32 x 9/32

                                    = 81/32,768

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

No short answer.

Explanation:

First and second generation pesticides differ vastly in terms of their contents and effects.

First generation pesticides were used in early 20th century up until the 1940's and they consisted chemicals such as mercury and lead which were not biodegradable and they started adding up in the soil until it was not fertile anymore. Second generation pesticides were divided into three groups as chlorinated hydrocarbon, organophosphates or carbamates and consisted of chemicals that were less harmful for the soil and did not accumulate over time. Some examples to second generation pesticides can be DDT or dimethoate.

Broad spectrum and narrow spectrum pesticides have the difference of effective range between them. Narrow spectrum pesticides are designed to target a specific organism such as a specific plant or an insect whereas broad spectrum pesticides are applicable to a wider range of organisms and still have the same effect for each.

Chitin Inhibitors can be given as an example of narrow-spectrum pesticides and the second generation pesticides in the answer can be given as an example of broad-spectrum pesticides.

I hope this answer helps.
