a.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The probability of the outcomes to be 6 (R), 6 (G), 6 (E).

Introduction: Genetics is one of the unique field of science that has fundamental laws which are stated as probability laws. Thus the probabilities we compute have reality as long-run frequencies and are not just subjective.

b.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The probability of the outcomes to be 6 (R), 5 (G), 6 (E).

Introduction: Probability is a method used to predict the likelihood of uncertain outcomes.

c.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The probability of the outcomes to be 6 (R), 5 (G), 4 (E).

Introduction: Probability is essential for genetics because it can be used to uncover traits masked by dominant alleles and to calculate the chance that offspring will inherit certain features, including some heritable diseases.

d.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The probability of the outcomes to no sixes at all.

Introduction: Genetic equilibrium is the opposite of evolution, and observation of growth is only possible in species not currently experiencing genetic stability.

e.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The probability of the outcomes to be different in all dice.

Introduction: Probability of inheritance is the two parental copies of a gene is inherited on which sex cell is inherited; it is a matter of chance.

(D) 1/6 (E) 1/64 26. In sheep, eye color is controlled by a single gene with two alleles. When a homozygous brown-eyed sheep is crossed with a homozygous green-eyed sheep, blue-eyed offspring are produced. If the blue-cyed sheep are mated with each other, what percent of their offspring will most likely have brown eyes? (A) 0% (В) 25% (C) 50% (D) 75% (E) 100% 27. In peas the trait for tall plants is dominant (T) and the trait for short plants is recessive (t). The trait for yellow seed color is dominant (Y) and the trait for green seed color is recessive (y). A cross between two plants results in 296 tall yellow plants and 104 tall green plants. Which of the following are most likely to be the genotypes of the parents? (A) TTYY x TTYY (В) Туу х ТТYу (C) TIYY x TIYy (D) TIYy x TTYY (E) TtYY x Ttyy 28. In humans, red-green color blindness is a sexlinked recessive trait. If a man and a woman produce a color-blind son, which of the following must be true? (A) The father is color-blind. (B)…
In a standard deck of playing cards, four suits exist(red suits = hearts and diamonds, black suits =spades and clubs). Each suit has 13 cards: Ace (A),2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and the face cards Jack (J),Queen (Q), and King (K). In a single draw, what isthe probability that you will draw a face card? A redcard? A red face card?
