Select one:
a. One parent was heterozygous for eye color and the other was homozygous with red eyes.
b. Both parents were homozygous with red eyes.
c. One parent had white eyes and the other was heterozygous for eye color.
d. Both parents were heterozygous for eye color.

1 is C - see first attachment. Genotypes with Y's represent males, and big R represents red eyes, while little r represents white eyes. For example XRxr is a heterozygous (red-eyed) female, and XrYr is a homozygous white-eyed male.

2 is B because the absence of functional proteins and some ribosomes due to the mRNA strand is not as detrimental as the loss of the entire cell.

3 is B. (The insertion of 3 base pairs into a genetic sequence is the length of a single codon, meaning that only one amino acid in the entire polypeptide was added)

___________________________________________
Explanation:
__________________________________________________________
 →  2ⁿ  = ? ;  {that is: "2" , raised to the "n th" power, equals {<u>what value</u>} ?
___________________________________________
 → Note that "n" is the haploid number, which is: 
                           "15" (value given within this very question).
__________________________________________________
→ So we plug in "15" for "n" ; to obtain the "final value" —
                                                          which is the answer.
__________________________________________________
           →  As such:  " 2¹⁵ = 32,768 " .  (using scientific calculator online).
___________________________________________________
           →  The answer is:  " 32,768 " .
