question 363

Multiple Choice

Use the slope-intercept form of the linear equation to write the equation of the line with the given slope and y-intercept.
-Slope $- \frac { 9 } { 8 } ; y$ -intercept $\left( 0 , \frac { 43 } { 8 } \right)$

• A) \(y = - \frac { 9 } { 8 } x - \frac { 43 } { 8 }\)
• B) \(y = - \frac { 9 } { 8 } x + \frac { 43 } { 8 }\)
• C) \(y = \frac { 9 } { 8 } x - \frac { 43 } { 8 }\)
• D) \(y = \frac { 9 } { 8 } x + \frac { 43 } { 8 }\)

Definitions:

Punnett Square

A graphical representation used to predict the outcomes of a genetic cross by arranging the possible combinations of alleles from each parent.

Heterozygous

Describing an organism that has two different alleles for a given gene, one inherited from each parent, resulting in genetic variation.

Genetic Discrimination

The prejudicial treatment of individuals based on their genetic characteristics, potentially affecting employment, insurance, and other areas of life.

Consanguineous Matings
