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.

Answer:

The correct option is A. Polycythemia Vera

Explanation:

Polycythemia vera is a myeloproliferative disorder of bone marrow hematopoietic cells that causes excessive production of all types of blood cells.

Primary erythrocytosis occurs as a result of polycythemia vera, in this myeloproliferative disorder the bone marrow produces too many red blood cells along with excessive amounts of white blood cells and platelets. Bone marrow under normal conditions produces blood cells and contains the precursor cells of the three series: red blood cells, white blood cells or leukocytes and platelets or thrombocytes, this disorder is characterized by excessive or uncontrolled proliferation or growth of these cells. The increased production of red blood cells or erythrocytes is called erythrocytosis.
