ANSWER: The origin of the pain is from the intervertebral disks of the lumbosacral spine.

EXPLANATION:

Sciatica is pain in the lower extremity resulting from irritation of the sciatic nerve.

The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the body and begins from nerve roots in the lumbar spinal cord in the low back and extends through the buttock area to send nerve endings down the lower limb.

Sciatica is caused by irritation of the root(s) of the lower lumbar and lumbosacral spine. Additional common causes of sciatica include: Lumbar spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal in the lower back) Degenerative disc disease (breakdown of discs, which act as cushions between the vertebrae).

Answer:

¼ or 25% will be dihybrid organisms, ¼ will be heterozygous at first locus and recessive homozygous at other locus , ¼ of them will be recessive homozygous at first locus and heterozygous at other locus, and ¼ of them will be homozygous recessive for alleles at two independent loci.

A dihybrid organism is one that is heterozygous at two different genetic loci. So if we name one gene with D and other gene with R, dihybrid organism will have genotype DdRr.

If we cross that organism with the one that is homozygous recessive for alleles at two independent loci ddrr:
