  1. i realized that the greens are the cheapest because they are the most common. No matter what bull you have you always get a least one green gibble.

  5. HI All,

    I am glad to see you r thinking it through. It is a bit tricky but if you are careful the answer for the best bull to buy for 7 and 8 months will present itself to you!

    It could be that there are two different bulls that are best for 7 and 8 months.

    Hint. Hint.

  7. Hi Yuliana,

    I can't say yes or no to that because if I did i wopuld be giving away the answer. We'll go over it in class and we'll see if you got it or not! Good work.

  8. Hi Steph!

    The man has 20 green cows (mothers) to work with but the Bull (dad) can be blue (BB), Green (Bb) or yellow (bb).

    This is why you must two three sets of Punnett Squares.

    Does this help?

  11. Hi Again!

    Don't worry about that Yuliana. What's important is showing the work and how you thought the problem through.

    We'll go over it together.

  15. Hi Steph S!

    The man has 20 green gibble cows (Bb). That means that every female is always green. The males can be green (Bb), Blue (BB), or Yellow (bb).

    Each of the three Punnett squares will have a green mom and one of the three males (Green, Blue or yellow).

    This is how you determine who is the father that makes the most profitable offspring in 7 and 8 months!

    How else can I help you weith this?

  16. Hi Steph. A!

    I am sure that you did fine with the work.

    You have to find out what color offspring there are with each dad and how much money they will be worth at the end of 7 and 8 months. Then you must subtract the cost of the bull ($110 for green bull, $220 for yellow bull and $440 for a blue bull).

    Is there a specific problem you are having with the calculations?

    Mr. F :-)

  19. Hey Darnell,

    Let's talk tomorrow so I can assist you with this. I am sure we can work it out.

    I am glad you enjoy learning about science. Yes, I expect that once you are a rich and famous person that you will be seeing me to deliver my GT500 Mustang. I would prefer it in Black with gold stripes please!

    Mr. F :-)
