In pea plants, flower color is inherited in a Mendelian fashion. Purple flowers (P) are dominant over white flowers (p). If two plants that are heterozygous for purple flowers, Pp, are crossed, what is the probability that their offspring will have white flowers?

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

The crossing between two heterozygous purple flowers can have the following results:

P from 1st flower and P from 2nd flower: PP -> 25% chance

P from 1st flower and p from 2nd flower: Pp -> 25% chance

p from 1st flower and P from 2nd flower: Pp -> 25% chance

p from 1st flower and p from 2nd flower: pp -> 25% chance

As the purple flower gene is dominant over the white flower, to have a white flower we need to have only white flower's genes, that is, pp.

So, the probability of the offspring will have white flowers is 25%

required rate of return = 0.166 = 16.6%

step-by-step explanation:

under the capital asset pricing model (capm), the required or expected rate of return for a particular security or asset is given using the formula:

required rate of return = risk-free rate + beta*(market risk premium)

we are given that;

risk-free rate = 4% = 0.04

beta = 1.4

market risk premium = 9% = 0.09

we simply plug these values into the above formula;

required rate of return = 0.04 + 1.4*(0.09)

required rate of return = 0.04 + 0.126

required rate of return = 0.166 = 16.6%
