HELP! Mendelian Genetics?

I do not get this at all can someone please explain it to me please?
I’m not asking anyone to do the questions just how to do each one, I missed the lesson that day.

Thank you:)

Medel’s law of dominance and segration are to be used
1.A
In the summer squash, white fruit colour is dominant; yellow is recessive. If a squash plant is homozygous for white is crossed with a homozygous yellow, predict the appearance of the F1 generation and the F2 generation.

1.B
If an F1 is crossed with a homozygous white indicate the possible offspring

2.A
In humans brown eyes are dominant and blue eyes are recessive. Make a Punnett square showing the possible eye colours of the children of a heterozygous, brown-eyed father and a blue-eyed mother. Give the phenotypes and genotypes ratios of the children.

2.B
Two browned eyed parents have two children with blue eyes. Give the genotypes of wasch member of the family.

3. The polled (hornless) trait in cattle is dominant ; the horned trait is recessive. Certain polled bull is mated to three cows. Cow A, which is horned, gives birth to polled calf. Cow B, also horned, produced a horned calf. Cow C, which is polled, produced a horned calf. What are the genotypes of the four parents?

4. In sheep white coat is dominant, black is recessive. Occasionally a black sheep appears in the flock. How could the farmer eliminate the gene for black from his flock?

5. Why would offspring of families with a history of diabetes mellitus ( a recessive trait on both the mother’s and father’s side be more likely to develop the disease than offspring of families in which diabetes has occured only on one parent’s side of family? Use Punnett squares in your explanation

6.An extra finger in man is rare, but due to a dominant gene. WHen one parent is normal and the other parent has an extra finger, but is heterozygous for the condition what is the probability that their first child will be normal? their second? their third?

7. Albinisn (lack of pigment) in man is caused by a recessive gene. If normal parents have an albino child, what is the probability that their next child will be normal colour?

8. Outline a possible cross to determine whether a black guinea pig is homozygous or heterozygous for the colour trait. This called a test cross, A test cross is method used to determine whether an organism that shows a dominant is pure dominant whether it is heterozygous

9. Suppose you were a cat fancier and were raising what you thought was a purebred but some of the cats had spots of white hair at their tips of their tails, while did not. How could you determine whether this trait is recessive or dominant? that only one pair of genes is affecting this trait.

What are the symptoms of swine flu? Could I have it?

Well, here’s the deal.

My neighbor is an a farmer and he doesn’t like using chemicals, so to get rid of bugs he "fertilizes" his land by pouring truckloads of pig crap on it, and it’s so bad that from spring to fall I can’t even open the window because that stench isn’t just lethal to bugs! He doesn’t give a s..t about what the law says and he will probably keep on doing that until he dies!

Now, yesterday I was fine, but today I woke up feeling awful! I was up ever since 4am and I couldn’t even move because if I had, I would had thrown up. I have a pretty serious fever which tipped at 38.8C (101.84F) and now I can keep it stable at 38.2C (100.76F). Furthermore I’m really weak and it took me 2 hours just to gather enough energy to get out of bed and eat. And like that wasn’t enough I hurt all over really bad.

Could I have swine flu or is it some other illness?

A big thank you in advance to all who answer this question.
My country hasn’t had any swine flu infections so far.

HELP on Animal Farm essay?

hello, for my english class i have to write an essay and the prompt is to pick a theme an explain how the theme is displayed throughtout the story. my theme is FOLLOWING A LEADER BLINDLY WILL RESULT IN BEING MANIPULATED. this is what i have so far and it doesn’t sound right so can someone help me fix it?

In the novel Animal Farm, George Orwell presents the theme of that when one chooses to follow a leader blindly, it will result in being manipulated. The gruesome tale of Animal Farm consists of animals loathing their life at Manor Farm. The animals decide they had enough of the farmer’s cruel ways and rebel against Mr. Jones; they win and decide to rename the farm into Animal Farm. It starts out well, but soon it takes a turn for the unthinkable. The ideals of the revolution on which the animals had placed so much of their hope can’t be sustained because of Napoleon, the pig. The wreaking havoc He takes over with vengeance and misery comes over the farm. Ultimately, the animals, the leader, and the
To begin with, the animals on Animal Farm have a huge part in this ordeal. The animals are simple minded, they follow the diabolical Napoleon without a thought they place all their trust in him.

thanx for your time :)

I went shopping online today for my kids. Early Christmas shopping. Anyway, I bought my son some shoes but he has really low self esteem. Do you think he’ll like them?

funny jokes ~~!!!!!!! star if u like them~~!!!!?

A farmer and his wife were lying in bed one evening. She was knitting and he was reading the latest issue of Animal Husbandry. He looked up from the page and said to her, ‘Did you know that humans are the only species in which the female achieves orgasm?’
She looked at him wistfully, smiled, and replied, ‘Oh yeah? Prove it.’
He frowned for a moment and said, ‘OK,’ then got up and walked out, leaving his wife with a confused look on her face.
About half an hour later he returned all tired and sweaty. ‘Well, the cow and the sheep definitely didn’t have one. But the way that pig squealed, it’s hard to tell!’

Question for organic meat eaters…..?

I recently read that organic farmers may not give medicine to animals who are suffering because the farmer can get a higher price for their meat and milk if the animals retain organic status. Studies have found that up to one-third of pigs on some organic farms are suffering from untreated infections, and reports also state that organic pigs often suffer from internal and external parasites, which could be passed on to the people who eat them. Organic chickens on some farms suffer from higher mortality rates than drugged chickens because extremely crowded and filthy housing conditions can lead to parasites and cannibalism. When the udders of cows on organic dairy farms become infected from frequent milkings, many farmers don’t give the cows medicine because then their milk would lose the organic label, which allows the product to be sold at a higher price…
So my question is, do you still feel good about eating organic or has this changed your mind?
For anyone who thinks im being one sided or biased I can assure you I am not. I am not a vegetarian but have been considering it for health reasons & in doing some research on the subject this is just something I came across. I was surprised by this information & thought I would share it & get oppinions. I am also sorry if this should of been in another category, I have not posted a Q on here before.
