Answer:

4 possible combinations of gametes

Explanation:

The animal is considered an heterozygotic dihybrid because it involves two genes that have different alleles for both genes. The dihybrid animal undergoes meiosis to produce gametes. According to Mendel in his laws of segregation and independent assortment, the alleles of the two genes separate into gametes independently of one another to produce 4 types of gametes.

Number of possible combinations of gametes formed by an heterozygote can be determined by using 2^n, where n is the number of characters. Number of characters or genes involved in this case is 2, Hence, 2^2 = 4 gametes.

The allelic combination in the four gametes are: AB, Ab, aB, ab.

Temka [501]

Answer:

zero

Explanation:

Displacement is a vector, meaning that the direction is  very important. Displacement is the distance from the starting point to wherever the object is. So a car that does a 500 m lap will have covered 500 m in distance but displacement is zero because, having come back to the starting point, the distance between the starting point and where the object is, is zero.

olga2289 [7]

Answer:

A. stratified squamous epithelium; absorption

Explanation:

Stratified squamous epithelium are composed of multiple layers of cells which rest on a basement membrane. Superficial layers are made of squamous cells and underlying layers can also be made of cuboidal or columnar cells.

Stratified squamous epithelium  is generally present in area where there is frequent physical or chemical abrasion. It protects the underlying structures from the stress. Hence, it is found wherever the body comes in contact with the outer environment like skin, digestive system and respiratory system. It also prevents water loss and desiccation.
