Suppose that the allele for brown eyes (B) is dominant to the allele for hazel eyes (b). If both parents have brown eyes

and are heterozygous (Bb), what are the chances that their first child will have hazel eyes? Brown eyes? What are the
chances that if they have two children, both will have hazel eyes? What will be an ideal response?


Concepts to Consider: The probability that their first child will have hazel eyes is 1/4 (25%). The probability of both children having hazel eyes is 1/4 × 1/4 = 1/16.

To see if a growth-promoting factor was released from blood platelets, cells called fibroblasts were placed in a dish containing liquid cell culture medium

The medium was supplemented with either serum (collected from blood that had been allowed to clot) or plasma from blood in which the platelets had not been activated during the clotting process. The number of cells in each culture is shown in the graph. Reference: Ref 9-2 How many cells are there on Day 3 in the culture that contains serum? A. 80,000 B. 800,000 C. 40,000 D. 400,000
