Mr. smith and his wife recently had a baby. mrs. smith has been upset since she first saw her new baby’s short eyelashes. she claims that the hospital goofed and mixed up her baby with someone else’s baby. having short eyelashes is a recessive trait and mr. smith is homozygous dominant for long eyelashes, while his wife is heterozygous. determine if the baby could be their child. a) create a punnett square using mr. and mrs. smith’s genotypes and calculate the probability of having a child who is homozygous recessive. b) using information from the punnett square, determine if the baby belongs to the smiths. in paragraph form, justify your response by providing supporting evidence and reasoning.

if you create apunnet square you see that there is a 25% chance that the baby belongs to the smiths.

the transfer of energy between two molecules spaced just nanometers apart plays a key role in many technologies, including photovoltaics, quantum information systems, lighting, and sensors, as well as in biophysics to measure nanometer distances and in photosynthesis. but an open question in this area is what effect, if any, the surrounding photonic environment has on this nanoscale energy transfer. by designing and performing a carefully controlled experiment to answer this question, scientists have settled the debate and found clues to improving the efficiency of many of the technologies that rely on this process.
