Answer:

256

Explanation:

If there are 2 pairs of chromosomes Aa and Bb, there are 4 possibilities for independent assortment of gametes:

A w B, aith with b, A with b and a with B.

If there are 3 pairs of chromosomes Aa, Bb and Cc, there are 8 possibilities:

ABC, abc, ABc, Abc, aBC, aBc, abC, AbC

This corresponds to 2^n, where n= the number of chromosomes.

Therefore, with 8 chromosomes, the possibilities are 2^8 = 256

This is for each parent.

Which term describes body structures in different organisms that have different outward appearances but develop from the same em
Nataly [62]

Answer:

The correct answer would be B) homologous.

Homologous organs refer to the set of organs which have different appearance and function but share common anatomy due to common ancestry.

For example, the forearm of human, forelimb of the horse, wing of a bat, wings of birds, and seal's flipper share common underlying anatomy.  They are made up of same sets of bones (humerus, radius, ulna, carpels, metacarpals, and phalanges).

These organs are adapted to perform different functions in an environment.

It is also observed that these organs developed in the same manner in the embryo and from similar origins.
