Textbook Question
Chapter 19, Problem 8CT
A man is homozygous dominant for ten different genes that assort independently. How many genotypically different types of sperm could he produce? A woman is homozygous recessive for eight of these genes and is heterozygous for the other two. How many genotypically different types of eggs could she produce? What can you conclude about the relationship between the number of different gametes possible and the number of heterozygous and homozygous gene pairs that are present?

If you add heterotrophic respiration and autotrophic respiration together and then subtract that value from gross primary productivity, then you have a more refined estimate of ecosystem carbon storage than NEE.
