The idea that for any particular trait, the pair of alleles of each parent separate and only one allele from each parent passes to an offspring is Mendel’s principle of:

In purple people eaters, one horn (H) is dominant and no horns (h) is recessive. Complete the Punnett square to show the cross of two heterozygous purple people eaters.  Write the possible genotypes and phenotypes for the offspring (ie. Genotype= 1YY, 2Yy, 1yy Phenotype= 3 Yellow Flowers, 1 White Flower). Genotypes: [1] Phenotypes: [2]

What are the gamete combinations for a female who is heterozygous dominant for the ability to roll her tongue (Tongue rolling (R) is a dominant trait) and is heterozygous for a hitchhiker’s thumb (Hitchhiker’s thumb (H) is dominant)? Hint: There are four combinations. 1: [1] 2: [2] 3: [3] 4: [4]  

On a scratch paper, do the dihybrid cross for a male that is homozygous dominant for freckles (freckles (F) is the dominant trait) and heterozygous for a widow’s peak (A widow’s peak (W) is the dominant trait) with a female who is heterozygous for freckles and homozygous recessive for a widow’s peak. What are the possible genotypes with phenotypes their offspring can have? Make sure to include the counts for each genotype (ie 2TTYY (Tall Plant with Yellow flowers). Genotype 1: [1] Genotype 2: [2] Genotype 3: [3] Genotype 4: [4]

Intrust Bank was very prominent in the Wichita area news in March 2023. Moody’s placed Intrust Bank on a ratings downgrade watch list, along with several other regional banks within the U.S. That was not good news, and caused a lot of concern. The balance sheet on the December 2022 Call Report reported common equity of $260 million and assets of $7.8 billion. The reason for this concern was that Intrust Bank’s Call Report (Dec. 31, 2022) reported an unrealized loss of of almost $500 million on their securities (investments) that were listed as Available-for-sale — in other words, the actual market value of these mortgage-backed investments was about $500 million less than the book value. Their investment securities were mostly entirely mortgage-backed securities which take a very large hit in market value when interest rates rise, because the duration of mortgage-backed securities will increase when interest rates increase, in what is known as “extension risk”.After the disclosure of this almost $500 million loss on the December 2022 Call Report, what PCA capitalization classification did Intrust Bank have?
