In cocker spaniels, solid coat color is dominant (S) over spotted coat (s). Suppose a true-breeding solid-colored dog is crossed with a spotted dog, and the F1 dogs are interbred.
What is the probability that the first puppy born will have a solid
coat?
What is the probability that the solid-coated puppy in the previous question is homozygous for the solid coat allele?
What is the probability that if four puppies are born, all of them will have a spotted coat?
What is the probability that if six puppies are born, 2 of them would have a spotted coat and 4 of them would have a solid coat? Please round your answer to the nearest hundredth or leave as a fraction.
The following two individuals are crossed: Aa Bb Cc Dd x Aa bb Cc Dd What proportion of the progeny will have the following genotype? Express as either a fraction or as a decimal] Aa Bb CC dd p=
What is the probability that one of the progeny will have all dominant OR all recessive phenotype? p=

4) You are attempting to re-create some of Mendel’s experiments. You love your plants so much that you give them names. In your garden, one plant, Jenny, is pollenated by another plant, Johnny (peas have perfect flowers, so even though we are assigning them a single sex, they technically are both male and female). Jenny is homozygous dominant for purple flowers and Johnny has white flowers. In order to figure out what kind genotypes and in what ratios their offspring will be, you will construct a Punnett square. To do this, list ALL possible gamete types for Johnny and Jenny. Remember that gametes are haploid and therefore only have one copy of each allele!
5) Place the gametes you generated in 4) in the top row for Johnny and left column for Jenny of the Punnett square below. Then copy and paste the Punnett square below into your lab write up.
Johnny’s gametes
Jenny’s gametes
6) What are the genotypic ratios expected for the offspring of the cross? In other words, how many of each genotype (homozygous dominant, homozygous recessive, heterozygous) are there? List the gene symbols and corresponding number for each genotype.
7) What are the phenotypic ratios expected for the offspring of the cross? In other words, how many of each phenotype (purple, white) are there?
8) You plant some of Johnny and Jenny’s offspring. Two in particular become your favorite plants and you name them Jamie and Josie. You decide to cross these two plants together (you can cross siblings in plants, but this is not really something that occurs very often in humans for various reasons!). Place the gametes that would result from meiosis in Jamie and Josie in the top row for Jamie and left column for Josie of the Punnett square. Then copy and paste the Punnett square below into your lab write up.
Jamie’s gametes
Josie’s gametes
9) What are the genotypic ratios expected for the offspring of the cross?
10) What are the phenotypic ratios expected for the offspring of the cross?

The World Health Organization (WHO) had announced the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) as a pandemic on 11 March 2020. With the entire world reeling under the prodigious attack of the pandemic in colossal proportions, various strategies were designed to nullify the transmission, but with little success. Preventive measures, namely social distancing, sealing off large towns, closing borders and confining people to their homes were strategically implemented. Inspire of these, the transmission rates grew unabated. Adding fuel to fire, the lack of effective antiviral drugs and vaccine further worsened the scenario. As a student in pharmaceutical engineering technology, you have greatest responsibility to propose a novel treatment or delivery system to improvise current treatment.
Thus, you are required to discuss with your team and propose potential solutions on the type of combination treatment can be provided based on literature and clinical studies that has been conducted to treat COVID-19 patients.
Background Controlled drug delivery system (provide literature supports)
Mechanism of action Controlled drug delivery system to treat covid-19 patient(With the aid of schematic diagram)

You are presented with 10 millileters of a proteins solution that is at a concentration of 100 millimolars. You dilute the solution by taking 1 microliter of the solution putting it in an empty test tube then add adding 99 ul of buffer for your experiment. What is your final concentration of the peptide solution that is in this test tube.
*The answer key says that the answer is 10^-3 M*
