Black skin color is dominant to pink skin color in pigs. Two heterozygous black pigs are crossed. a. What is the probability that their offspring will have pink skin? b. What is the probability that the first and second off- spring will have black skin? c. If these pigs produce a total of three piglets, what is the probability that two will be pink and one will be black?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]P(Pink) = \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

[tex]P(Both\ Black) = \frac{9}{16}[/tex]

[tex]Probability = \frac{3}{64}[/tex] --- Two pink and One black

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the pink skin with P and the black skin with B.

Since black skin is dominant to pink skin, there will be more occurrence of B than P

The punnet square for the breeding of the two pigs is then represented as:

[tex]\begin{array}{cc} {B} & {B} \ \\ {B} & {P} \ \ \end{array}[/tex]

Solving (a): Probability of Pink

In the above square, there is only 1 occurrence of P out of a possible of 4.

So, the probability is:

[tex]P(Pink) = \frac{n(P)}{4}[/tex]

[tex]P(Pink) = \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Solving (b): Probability that first and second are black

In the above square, there is only 3 occurrence of B out of a possible of 4.

[tex]P(Black) = \frac{n(B)}{4}[/tex]

[tex]P(Black) = \frac{3}{4}[/tex]

So, the probability that both are black is:

[tex]P(Both\ Black) = P(Black) * P(Black)[/tex]

[tex]P(Both\ Black) = \frac{3}{4} * \frac{3}{4}[/tex]

[tex]P(Both\ Black) = \frac{9}{16}[/tex]

Solving (c): Probability of two pink and 1 black

This is calculated as:

[tex]Probability = P(Pink) * P(Pink) * P(Black)[/tex]

[tex]Probability = \frac{1}{4} * \frac{1}{4} * \frac{3}{4}[/tex]

[tex]Probability = \frac{3}{64}[/tex]

Answer 2

A) The probability that their offspring will have pink skin is; ¹/₄

B) The probability that the first and second off- spring will have black skin is;

9/16  or 56.25%

C) The probability that two will be pink and one will be black  If the pigs produce a total of three piglets is; ³/₆₄ or 4.6875%

Mendel's law of dominance

To answer this question, we need to first understand Mendel's law of dominance. This law states that in a heterozygote, one trait will conceal the presence of another trait for the same characteristic. This means that the dominant trait always conceal the recessive trait.

Now in this question, we are told that;

black skin colour is dominant to Pink skin colour in pigs.

Let's denote the black color gene by ‘P’ and pink colour by ‘p’. Therefore, if cross is held between these two genes then according to mendel's law, the heterozygous pigs is specified as "Pp"

Now when the heterozygous pigs specified as "Pp" are crossed, we have;

Pp × Pp = PP, Pp, Pp, pp

where;

PP and Pp denotes black pigs is denoted pp denotes pink pigs

(a) From the 4 cross possibilities above;

Probability that their offspring will have pink skin = ¹/₄

(b) From the 4 cross possibilities gotten earlier;

Probability that their offspring will have black skin = ³/₄

Thus;

Probability that the first and second off- spring will have black skin is;

³/₄ × ³/₄ = 9/16  or 56.25%

(c) We are told that the pigs produced a total of three piglet. Thus, the probability that two will be pink and one black will be black is;

P(2 pink and 1 black) =   ¹/₄ × ¹/₄ × ³/₄ = ³/₆₄ or 4.6875%

identify the independent variable for this function

Answers

Answer: Time

Explanation:

Time progresses without any control over it, so it's something that does not depend on any other factor such as distance. On the other hand, as the time value changes, the distance changes. So the distance is dependent on the time.

The horizontal axis is the x axis, and the x value is always the independent variable. The vertical y axis is the distance. The y value is always the dependent variable.

Find the size of angle XYZ

Answer:

66.4°

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Adjacent = 6 cm

Hypothenus = 15 cm

Angle Y =?

Angle Y can be obtained by using the cosine ratio as illustrated below:

Cos Y = Adjacent / Hypothenus

Cos Y = 6/15

Cos Y = 0.4

Take the inverse of Cos

Y = Cos¯¹ 0.4

Y = 66.4°

Therefore, angle XYZ is 66.4°

The Celsius scale is devised so that 0° C is the freezing point of water (at 1 atmosphere of pressure) and 100°C is the boiling point of water (at 1 atmosphere of pressure).

Answers

Answer:

[tex]r=\frac{5}{9}(y-32)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The Celsius scale was developed by Swedish astronomer Andres Celsius in 1742. It is used to measure temperature in degree Celsius in which 0 degrees represents the freezing point of water, and 100 degrees represents boiling point of water at the standard atmosphere.

The Fahrenheit scale was proposed in 1724 by the physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit. It is used to measure temperature in degree Fahrenheit in which 32°F represents the freezing point of water, and 212°F represents boiling point of water at the standard atmosphere.

Let r represent the temperature in degrees Celsius and y represent the temperature in degree Fahrenheit. The relationship between r and y is:

[tex]\frac{r-freezing\ point(^oC)}{boiling\ point\ (^oC)-freezing\ point(^oC)} =\frac{y-freezing\ point(^oF)}{boiling\ point\ (^oF)-freezing\ point(^oF)} \\\\Substituting:\\\\\frac{r-0}{100-0}=\frac{y-32}{212-32}\\\\\frac{r}{100} =\frac{y-32}{180}\\\\r= \frac{y-32}{180}*100\\\\r=\frac{5}{9}(y-32)[/tex]

Sydney invested $440 in an account paying an interest rate of 5.6% compounded daily. Assuming no deposits or withdrawals are made, how long would it take, to the nearest year, for the value of the account to reach $640?​

Answers

Answer:

The time required to get  a total amount of $ 640.00  from compound interest on a principal of $ 440.00  at an interest rate of 5.6% per year  and compounded 365 times per year  is approximately 7 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Principle Amount P = $440 Accrued Amount A = $640Interest rate r = 5.6% = 0.056Compounded daily n = 365

To determine:

Time period t = ?

Using the formula

[tex]A\:=\:P\left(1\:+\:\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}[/tex]

solving for t

t = ln(A/P) / n[ln(1 + r/n)]

substituting the values A = 640, P = 440, n = 365 and r = 0.056

t = ln(640/440) / ( 365 × [ln(1 + 0.00015342465753425/365)] )

t = 6.691

t ≈ 7  (nearest year)

Therefore, the time required to get  a total amount of $ 640.00  from compound interest on a principal of $ 440.00  at an interest rate of 5.6% per year  and compounded 365 times per year  is approximately 7 years.

2. Similar shapes have the same angles

Point 1 tells us that ∠P+∠Q+∠S+∠R=360

Point 2 tells us that ∠F=∠P, ∠G=∠Q, ∠J=∠S, and ∠H=∠R.

What are similar triangles?

Similar triangles are those triangles whose corresponding sides are in the same ratio. And the corresponding angles measure the same. It is denoted by the ‘~’ symbol.

Given that the two of the given triangles are similar triangles. Therefore, the ratio of the sides of the triangle can be written as,

6/x = 8/10

Solving the ratio for x,

x = (6×10)/8

x = 60/8

Answer: the bridge is 11.025 m high

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

Time taken to hit the water t = 1.5 sec

height of bridge = ?

lets take a look at the equation of motion;

y(t) = y₀ + (1/2)at²

with initial velocity zero and we know that acceleration due to gravidity is 9.8m/s

we substitute

y(t) = (1/2)gt² = (1/2) × 9.8 × (1.5)²

y(t) = (1/2)gt² = (1/2) × 9.8 × (1.5)²

y(1.5) = 11.025 m

Therefore, the bridge is 11.025 m high

How many gallons of a 70% antifreeze solution must be mixed with 90 gallons of 15% antifreeze to get a mixture that is 60% antifreeze

Answers

Answer:

67 gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how many gallons of a 70% antifreeze solution must be mixed with 90 gallons of 15% antifreeze to get a mixture that is 60% antifreeze, the following calculation must be performed:

0.15 x 90 + 0.70 x 10 = 20.5 / 100 = 0.20

0.15 x 90 + 0.70 x 30 = 34.5 / 100 = 0.34

0.15 x 90 + 0.70 x 60 = 55.5 / 100 = 0.55

0.15 x 90 + 0.70 x 67 = 60.4 / 100 = 0.60

Thus, 67 gallons of 70% antifreeze solution will be needed to achieve a 60% mix of that solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

1.74 x 10^-4 as an ordinary number

As an ordinary number, the decimal point will be moved 4 times to the left due to the negative power

Hence 1.74 x 10^-4 as an ordinary number

= 0.000174

358.41 x 10^5 in a standard form

In standard form, only one number will be before the decimal point, the number of times the decimal point is moved (to ensure that only the first digit is before the point) is added to the power of ten. Hence

358.41 x 10^5 in a standard form

= 3.5841 x 10^5+2

= 3.5841 x 10^7

4 670 000 in a standard form

As done above, only one digit will be before the decimal

4 670 000 in a standard form

= 4.67  x 10^6
