Answer:

Cc

Explanation:

A cleft chin is an example of a trait that is controlled by genetics. A cleft chin is when there is a dimple in the chin which arises when the two sides of the jaw don’t completely fuse together. Famous people with cleft chins are Henry Cavill, John Travolta and Niall Horan.

A cleft chin is generally thought to be a dominant trait. That means, if an individual carries one copy of the cleft chin gene (heterozygous), then they will display the trait.

There are three options: an individual can be homozygous dominant (CC), homozygous recessive (cc) or heterozygous (Cc). A heterozygous person will always have 2 different alleles (for any trait, not just cleft chin). In this case, a heterozygous person will have a cleft chin, because it is dominant. Therefore, an heterozygous person with a cleft chin will be Cc

Remember, the letter doesn't matter - they could also be denoted as Bb, Qq, Rr, Ff. The letter is arbitrary.

Why do sex cells only need half the number of chromosomes compared to other cells in a organism?
Viktor [21]

Answer:

Since a species' chromosome count doesn't change from generation to generation, meiosis requires that the number of chromosomes in germ cells be cut in half. Meiosis, unlike mitosis, achieves this accomplishment by requiring a single round of DNA replication followed by two rounds of cell division.

In science why is it important to have more than one piece of evidence to support your claim?
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

It is important to have more than one piece of evidence to make sure that the evidence is actually evidence. Or in other words, that the evidence is proven true. With only one piece of evidence, you can't be fully sure if calculations were correct, if the source was trustworthy, etc.

Multiple evidence is kinda like double checking math problems. If you don't do it, you can't be 100% certain the answer is correct.
