Hitchhicker's thumb is a condition in which a person is able to bend his thumb backwards. This trait can be seen in many people but the condition is recessive, which means a person needs two alleles for  hitchhiker's thumb to have this particular characteristics. The gene for straight thumb is commonly indicated by T while that for hitch hicker's thumb is indicated by t.

Let's see what will happen if a person heterozygous for hitchhiker's thumb marries a woman who is also heterozygous for hitchhiker's thumb.

P1:                       Tt                X             Tt

Gametes:            t    T            :      t        T

Offsping :          TT    :     Tt     :       tT      : tt

TT    :        25 % :     Straight thumb

Tt + tT :    50% :      Straight thumb

tt :              25% :      Hitch hicker's thumb

Therefore, there are 25 % chances that their offspring will have Hitch hicker's thumb and 75 % chances that they will have straight thumb.

Hope it help!

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

B) stain only the thicker peptidoglycan cell walls

Explanation:

Gram staining is a technique which was developed by the Hans Christian Gram in 1884 to distinguish the bacterial strains. Based on the colour absorbed and retained by the bacteria, the bacteria are distinguished either as gram-positive or gram-negative.

He used a colour stain- crystal violet which is a positive dye and binds to the cell wall made of peptidoglycan. The crystal violet binds to the cell wall with the help of a mordant called iodine. If this dye retains inside and the cell appears purple then the cell is considered gram-positive else negative.

Thus, Option-B is correct.
