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

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

The amygdala is found in each _________ lobe and is involved with the limbic system.
Tatiana [17]

The amygdala is found in each temporal lobe and is involved with the limbic system. The amygdala is found in the medial temporal lobe, immediately prior to the hippocampus. The temporal lobes are the second biggest lobes, located behind the ears. They are most typically related with the processing of auditory information and memory encoding.

The temporal lobes' primary roles include language comprehension, memory acquisition, face recognition, object recognition, perception, and auditory information processing amygdala. The temporal lobe is in charge of understanding and assigning meaning to different sounds. As a result, injury to the left temporal lobe often leads to issues understanding language.

Michelle and George are studying the forces and motion of a 0.8-kg low friction cart on a horizontal table. They use a spring sc
Helen [10]
Table 1: The horizontal pulling forces (F) and resulting acceleration (a) for the cart.



The cart experiences no motion when there is 0.1 N of horizontal force, so F=0 in this case. When one uses Newton's Second Law to find the acceleration caused by each force, it becomes clear that every row in the chart represents a horizontal force of approximately F=20 N. The best fit for the missing value is F=-30N.
