What are the odds of being both stuck by lightning and hitting a hole in one in golf?
These are independent events, so the probability of both of them happening would be the probability of one multiplied by the probability of the other. According to insurance odds, the probability of an average golfer getting a hole in one in any given round is 1/3,125. The probability of being struck by lightning is 1/576,000. Thus the probability of both of these things happening is 1/(3,125 x 576,000) = 1/1,800,000,000 or one in 1.8 billion.
What are the different life processes?
Movement - moving around (duh!)Respiration - converting oxygen into energy. Not the same as breathing!Sensitivity - responding to external stimuli, like heat, etc.Nutrition - eating/absorbing things for their nutrients.Excrement - getting rid of waste.Reproduction - producing offspring/seeds from which offspring will grow.Growth - getting bigger.moving,reproduce,sensitive,nutrition,excrete,respire and grow
Are the offspring of parents who are both homozygous dominant for normal red blood cells in danger of getting sickle-cell anamia and why?
Because the disease is rare in sickle-cell
Why do organisms with greater fitness generally leave more offspring then organisms that are less fit?
Organisms that are less fit can die before they reproduce. This is statistically more likely for such organisms. Organisms that are less fit have problems getting mates as they are passed over in greater numbers than fit organisms. Organisms that are less fit can not bring the offspring to term and provide as well for the offspring as fit organisms can. Organisms that are less fit pass on to their progeny the genetic insults that they carry, thus their offspring are less fit also. And many other reasons could be thought of here, so you think of some reasons yourself.
How does the possible impact of a chromosomal mutation that occurs during meiosis differ from that of a similar event that occurs during mitosis of a body cell not involved in reproduction?
If the mutation occurs during meiosis, the mutation will be incorporated into a gamete. If that gamete is the one that eventually fuses with another gamete (i.e. if it's the sperm that fertilizes the egg), that mutation will be passed on to the offspring. As all the offspring's cells are the result of the first two gametes, all the organism's cells will have that mutation. Obviously this can have dire consequences for the offspring, if the mutation is harmful. If instead it occurs during mitosis, it won't get inherited by the offspring, so any harmful effects are limited to you. Basically it's like getting a wound, you may heal or not, but you won't pass that wound on to any offspring you may subsequently have.

We would need to know the situation to respond to this question.
What is the probability of getting curly hair?
The probability of getting curly hair depends on whether your parents do or not. Hair genes are decided by the mother. So, if the mother has curly hair, more than likely the offspring will as well. If the father has curly hair and the mother does not, the probability is considerably lowered.
What is the probability that certain genotypes and phenotypes will occur?
This depends entirely on the genotype of the parents. The probability of getting a specific genotype is the probability of getting the correct allele from mother (1/2) multiplied by the probability of getting the correct allele from father (1/2) multiplied by the number of ways this can occur. The probability of getting a phenotype, if the phenotype is dominant, is the sum of the probability of getting two dominant alleles, and the probability of getting one dominant allele. If the phenotype is recessive, the probability is equal to the probability of getting two recessive alleles.

What is the probability of getting a queen and a heart?
The probability of getting the queen of hearts is 1 in 52, or about 0.01923. The probability of getting any queen is 4 in 52, or about 0.07692. The probability of getting any heart is 13 in 52, or exactly 0.25.

What is the probability of not getting a club in a deck of 52 cards?
The probability of not getting a club is the same as the probability of getting one of the other suits. There are (52-13)=39 such possibilities out of 52. Hence the probability is 39/52=3/4.
