Answer:

4 genotypically different gametes

Explanation:

Mendel's law of independent assortment of genes states that the alleles of two or more different genes get sorted into gametes independent of one another i.e. the allele a gamete receives for one gene does not affect the allele received for another gene.

In this case, a F1 generation has resulted from the cross between a homozygous dominant parent (AABB) and a homozygous recessive parent (aabb). This F1 generation (AaBb) is said to be a dihybrid because it contains an heterozygous allele for two different genes.

The dihybrid undergoes meiosis and results into four genotypically different types of haploid gametes (sperm and eggs) with equal frequency i.e. if each gamete randomly got an A or a allele and in a separate process, also randomly got a B or b allele.

The four possible combinations of haploid gametes are: AB, Ab, aB, and ab

alexira [117]

Early cleavage divisions in most embryos are also rapid. One reason for this is that cleaving cells have a modified cell cycle, in which the two gap phases, G1 and G2 are completely omitted, and the cells cycle rapidly between M and S phases. In addition, because the major cytoskeletal systems of the cells are largely devoted to mitosis (microtubules) and cytokinesis (microfilaments) during rapid cleavage division, there is typically an antagonism between periods of rapid cell division and cell movement. Thus as the embryo approaches gastrulation, there is a tremendous slowing in the rate of division (note the slope of the curve at the right).

Well first, the oceans would not create tidal waves, there would be no moon during the night, longer days. Yeah basically, no moon, none of the cool stuff and surfing would go.
