Answer:

A. 1/16

Explanation:

If we break the dihybrid cross of AaBb X AaBb into individual monohybrid crosses:

Aa X Aa :

     A    a

A  AA Aa

a  Aa   aa

1/4 of the progeny will be homozygous for dominant allele (AA)

Similarly, in cross Bb X Bb 1/4 of the progeny will be homozygous for dominant allele (BB)

Hence, in cross AaBb X AaBb:

1/4 * 1/4 = 1/16 will be homozygous for both the dominant alleles.

Interaction: lungs supply oxygen carried by blood to cells of the body
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

Lungs supply oxygen carried by blood to cells of the body. The cells which are responsible for the transportation of oxygen is hemoglobin. When oxygen rich hemoglobin reaches a cell so the oxygen is unloaded and carbondioxide which is produced as a waste product is loaded in hemoglobin. Again this hemoglobin goes to the lungs and dispose carbondioxide there and repeat the process again.

A farmer wanted to rid his apple trees of a particular leaf-eating insect. he sprayed his trees with an insecticide that killed
marta [7]
The survival of the 2 percent of the population is due to the presence of a gene obtained from other species. This gene must be responsible for developing resistance in the insects, against the insecticide that was used by the farmer. The gene got incorporated in only 2% of the insects and therefore, they survived and rest of them were susceptible to the insecticide and thus, died.
