Answer:

The probability is ½

Explanation:

Since the dimple trait is simple dominance, it therefore can be inherited in both the homozygous (DD) and heterozygous form (Dd). For non dimples we have (dd).

Thus, for a dimpled man whose mother has no dimples, it can be concluded that he is an heterozygote. (For him to be dimpled with a non dimpled mom, his dad has to be either an homozygous/heterozygous dimpled man. Since his mom is non dimpled (dd), therefore he can only be an heterozygous)

Therefore, a cross between a dimpled man (Dd) and a non dimpled woman will give.

Dd x dd

as compared with the production of egg cells, sperm cell production A) involves a jellylike outer covering b) occurs at a slower
Bingel [31]

The correct answer is:  d) begins later in life

Eggs or female reproductive cells are formed well before birth in a huge number (primordial oocytes). But, the number of oocyte decreases after birth constantly (there are 2 million oocytes at birth and 40,000 of them in puberty). At menopause, no egg cells are left.

On the other hand, the first sperms are formed only from puberty, but the production of those cells never stops.

wariber [46]
The answer is the dendrites offer a big apparent area for links from other neurons. The dendrites are the main open or input areas and offer an enormous surface area for receiving signals from other neurons. They have spines appendages in which come to close interaction with synapses with other neurons.
