4 different phenotypes may be produced. If you write this down in a Punnet square you can get the exact ratio and the genotypes along with the phenotypes. 

Let us assign B for brown eyes, b for blue eyes; H for right-handed, h for left-handed. 
The mother's genotype will then be bbhh
The father's genotype will then be BbHh

           bh        bh         bh           bh
BH    BbHh    BbHh    BbHh      BbHh  
Bh     Bbhh    Bbhh     Bbhh      Bbhh
bH     bbHh   bbHh     bbHh      bbHh
bh      bbhh    bbhh     bbhh       bbhh

Now based on that you can see that there are 4 possible genotypic combinations which would express different phenotypic combinations as well. 

BbHh: Brown-eyed, right-handed
Bbhh: Brown-eyed, left-handed
bbHh:  Blue-eyed, right handed
bbhh:   Blue-eyed, left-handed

So again, there would be 4 possible phenotypes.

Describe the difference between the lytic cycle and lysogeny when bacteriophage infection occurs.
Shkiper50 [21]
Both are methods of viral multiplication inside the host cell.
 Lytic cycle (which is more common) includes steps like:
<span>1. Infection of the host cell-virus attaches to the receptor of the host cell, penetrates it and releases its genetic material into the host cell.</span>
<span>2. Virus Multiplication-Virus incorporated its genetic material into the host’s and uses its metabolism to multiply. Viral genetic material replicates separately from the host DNA.</span>
<span>3. Cell Destruction-  Virus releases an enzyme that breaks the cell wall from within, thus destructing the host cell.</span>  
<span>Lysogenic cycle also includes steps of infection, penetration and incorporation of the genetic material. But, after the virus integrates its genetic material it becomes dormant, letting the host multiple and continue its normal activities. Viral genetic material replicates within the host DNA during the host cell's division, so the daughter host cells are infected too.<span> At some point, the virus is triggered, it multiplies and ultimately, destroys the host cells.</span></span>

1. Meiosis is critical for which of the following processes
lyudmila [28]

B.

Both processes have a growth period called interphase, in which a cell replicates its genetic material and organelles in preparation for division. The two cells that result after meiosis I enter meiosis II very quickly, during the brief interphase period, no further DNA replication takes place.

C.

A. True
