Y-: yellow S-: star yy: black ss: starless
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

1. heterozygous yellow and star

2. 37

3. 1/8

4. 168

5. 1/4

Explanation:

Given ,

In f1 generation a cross is made between a true breeding black star bellied sneetch mated with a true breeding yellow starless sneetch

yySS x YYss

It is taken as - Y (yellow) is dominant over y (black)

and S (star) is dominant over s (starless)

1. F1 Generation

Genotype of parents yySS X YYss

gametes - yS, yS, Ys, Ys

All 16 offspring will have genotype YySs

phenotype would be heterozygous yellow and star

2. F2 generation cross

YySs X YySs

YS        Ys         yS        ys

YS YYSS YYSs YySS YySy

Ys YYSs YYss YySs Yyss

yS YySS YySs yySS yySs

ys YySs Yyss yySs yyss

Genotype of offspring are –  

YYSS – 1

YYSs – 2

YySS – 2

YySs – 4

YYss- 1

Yyss- 2

yySS – 1

yySs- 1

yyss- 1

2. Out of 16, 2 are black star bellied sneetches . Which means only 1/8 are black star bellied sneetches

So out of 300, 37 are black star bellied sneetches

3. Only 2 out of 16 are true breeding. i.e 1/8

4. 9 out of 16 are yellow star bellied sneetches, so out of 300, 168 are yellow star bellied sneetches

5. 4 out of 16 are true breeding yellow. Thus, ¼ are true breeding

Maria is concerned because she has been exposed to a small amount of radiation during an X-day . What is her doctor most likely
UNO [17]
If you're exposed to significant radiation, your thyroid will absorb radioactive iodine (radioiodine) just as it would other forms of iodine. The radioiodine is eventually cleared from the body in urine. If you take potassium iodide, it may fill "vacancies" in the thyroid and prevent the absorption of radioiodine.

How is solar energy absorbed and admitted by earths surface?
mylen [45]

Answer:

About 23 percent of incoming solar energy is absorbed in the atmosphere by water vapor, dust, and ozone, and 48 percent passes through the atmosphere and is absorbed by the surface. Of the 340 watts per square meter of solar energy that falls on the Earth, 29% is reflected back into space, primarily by clouds, but also by other bright surfaces and the atmosphere itself. About 23% of incoming energy is absorbed in the atmosphere by atmospheric gases, dust, and other particles. The remaining 48% is absorbed at the surface
