Use your knowledge of Mendelian genetics to write a hypothesis that answers the lab question, “What is the effect of the genes of the parental mice on the fur color of the offspring mice?” Be sure to use the “If . . . then . . . ” format.

dude i stopped reading after the first 7 words but hey you seem real smart thats awesome have a great day

answer-

the statement that f(x) = |x+a| + b has exactly one x-intercept is sometimes correct.

solution-

it solely depends on b, whether the function will have one or two or zero x intercept.

this plot of the given function, f(x) = |x+a| + b will be the basic absolute value graph i.e v shape, with vertex translated to (-a, b), instead of origin.

1-   if b is zero, the graph will have exactly one x-intercept, at x= -a

2- if b is positive, the whole graph will be above the x-axis, hence it will have no x-intercepts.

3- if b is negative, the graph will be below the x-axis, hence it will have two x-intercepts.

∴ the statement is sometimes true.
