Cell and genetics test

A Punnett square determines

• Which genotype an offspring will have

• which phenotype an offspring will have

• how likely an offspring is to have a certain genotype

• how many offspring will be produced

The allele for tall pea plants is dominant over the allele for short pea plants. Suppose a hybrid pea plant is crossed with another hybrid pea plant. Create a Punnett square for the cross

How does the fossil record show evidence of animals dying in a universal flood?

• The fossil record does not show evidence of animals dying in a universal flood.
• The fossil record is inconclusive and cannot be used to determine if animals died in a universal flood.
• The fossil record only shows evidence of animals dying in localized floods.
• The fossil record shows most fossils are found in sedimentary rock, which is formed from water-borne sediments.
