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.

Answer:

2n = 28

2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 256

Interneuron, skeletal muscle, somatic receptor, afferent nerve fiber, and efferent nerve fiber.

The action potential from skin receptors is sent by nerves in this type of reflex system.

Sensory neurons advance the motion to the Central Nervous System (CNS).

The efferent neuron or motor neuron causes changes at the effector, which are the skeletal muscles, for adequate integration and responsiveness.

Reflex action refers to the full series of actions. The reflex arc is the name of the route.

Somatic receptor followed by afferent nerve fiber, interneurons, efferent nerve fiber, and skeletal muscle constitutes the proper order.

Which cross shows both parents having two different alleles for each of two different genes?
shtirl [24]

Answer:

The correct option is Number 1. AaBb x AaBb

Explanation:

Genes can be described as basic hereditary units. The genes are made up of DNA.

A gene carries two alleles for a particular trait. These alleles are present at the same loci in the homologous chromosomes. If the two alleles are similar then they are termed as homozygous e.g AA, BB. If the alleles for a trait are different then they are termed as heterozygous e.g Aa and Bb.
