Help with Genetics study questions?
I am just learning genetics…can someone show me how to do this??

Snapdragons show incomplete dominance in the trait of flower color. Heterozygotes with both a red and white allele express pink flowers. A cross between red-flowered and white-flowered snapdragons produced an all pink-flowered F1. Crossing members of the F1 gave an F2 of 42 red, 110 pink, and 48 white flowered plants.
a. What is the theoretical ratio in which F2 progeny would be expected to occur?
b. How many of the 200 F2 progeny would be expected in each of the phenotype classes?
c. Calculate the ?2 value for the F2 data.
d. Using a ?2 table, determine the probability that any variation from the expected results is due to
chance or sampling error.

do you read certain books at particular times/ places/ events?
over the past ten years or so, i half unconsciously read certain books in particular places, or at particular times (winter/summer, or feeling sad etc), or in certain weather.
do you do this too?

i decided not to do it last year, and my january and feb felt weird without re-reading the kraken wakes, the triffids, the secret garden, and some others- through to the railway children. the books are initially quite bleak, but go through to the railway children, which is sad/happy. for some reason they link well one to another, and matched the weather; bleak, becoming brighter.

the easter holidays, when i usually go to cornwall, felt totally different without ‘the riddle of the sands’ being read by a beach somewhere (or looking out on a beach if its raining, which is generally is) and again this seemed to marry with the sea smells, rain, wind etc. and the summer felt wrong without the clark diaries (elder and son), which ive read each july or august for about 7 years- along with the richard hanny books by john buchan- 39 steps etc.

when really depressed and dont want to move, i hide in bed and read the enid blyton adventure series- the castle of adventure, valley of adventure, etc, and in winter i pig out on wodehouse and agatha christie.

so this year im going back to my set books for set times, weathers and places, and feel much better…

anyone else mark events and places with specific books?
or turn to the same ones to reflect your thoughts, or the weather?


When I go away I like to read fiction based in the locality in which I am staying, for example, if I am in the Lake District, I would read Arthur Ransome.
