Answer:

The question lacks options, the options are:

A) 1 out of 16

B) 3 out of 16

C) 6 out of 16

D) 9 out of 16

The answer is 1 out of 16

Explanation:

This is a DIHYBRID cross because it involves two different genes coding for distinct traits. One of the traits will be dominant while the other recessive. Hence, parents that are purebred for opposite forms of the trait means that one parent is homozygous dominant while the other is homozygous recessive. When these two parents cross, they produce F1 offsprings that all possess the dominant trait but heterozygous/hybrids.

When these hybrids are self-crossed, they produce four different combinations of gametes which when crossed using a punnet square will result in F2 offsprings with a 9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratio according to Mendel's observation.

9 represents offsprings that are dominant for both traits

The two 3's represents offsprings that are recessive for one trait and dominant for the other respectively.

1 represents offsprings that are homozygous recessive for both traits.

Hence, 1 out of 16 offsprings will be homozygous recessive for both traits.

The correct answer is letter B, the age range of the skull is less than 10 years old. Teeth are also a form of bone that develop within the skull. Its structure helps archaeologists determine the age of fossils that they dug up from the soil. Children lack some prominent features compared to adults because their bodies are still growing and developing into maturity.

How does the dna repair enzyme photolyase prevent skin cancer?
Misha Larkins [42]
I think the enzyme photolyase is activated by light and can repair thymine dimers caused by UV radiation. Exposure to UV radiation is the main factor that causes skin cells to become cancer cells. These enzymes are involved in the repair of ultraviolet light-induced DNA damage when activated by light absorption.
