Fred must have suffered muscle atrophy.
Explanation:
Since Fred broke his leg and a cast was put around his leg,his orthopedic must have suggested restricted movement of his leg as a part of treatment.. Due to this immobilization the muscle mass of his leg may have got wasted and his leg became weak. Being too weak the leg may not have supported the body weight and Fred fell.
The correct answer is B. This question relates to using a punnet square to determine the genotypes of the offspring. Two heterozygous parents expressing a polka-dot tale must have genotype Pp each.
Using a punnet square, this will produce 4 possible genotypes in equal probability:
PP - polka dot
Pp - polka dot
Pp - polka dot
pp - solid tale
Therefore there is a 75% change of getting polka dots in the offspring, and a 25% chance of solid tale.
A. is an incorrect answer because only 50% of offspring will be type Pp, another 25% will be expressing double dominant alleles for P as PP, which will still express polka dots.
