Answer:

Somatic cells are diploid, meaning that they have two copies of the human genome.

Explanation:

Somatic cells are any of the cells found in the body which are not gametes or germ cells. They are diploid in that they contain two sets of chromosomes, one inherited from each parent.

A germ cell is a cell containing half the number of chromosomes (are haploid) and able to fuse with one from the opposite sex to form a new individual. They undergo the process of mieosis to become haploid cells.

Stem cells are undifferentiated or  unspecialized cells with self-renewal capacity. They can divide through mitosis limitlessly to replenish other cell types of multicellular organisms throughout their life. They contain two sets of chromosomes (are diploid) one from each parent. They of two types: embryonic and adult somatic stem cells.

True: Somatic cells are diploid, meaning that they have two copies of the human genome.

False: Somatic cells are haploid, meaning that they have one copy of the human genome.

False: Sperm and egg cells are diploid, meaning that they have two copies of the human genome.

False: Stem cells are haploid, meaning that they have one copy of the human genome.

netineya [11]

Answer:

The correct answer is -

A) BbTt x bbTt

B) .5^4 or 1/16 or 0.0625

Explanation:

As it is given that Brachydactylus and PTC tasters both traits are autosomal dominant conditions which mean only one allele would be enough.

For Branchydactylus and For tasting :  man and women will be heterogeneous.

Hence,

The Genotype of man = BbTt

The Genotype of wife = bbTt

b. Answer = 0.0625

For Branchydactylus:

Bb X bb

Possible genotypes:

B b

b Bb( Brachydactylus) bb(normal)

b Bb (Brachydactylus) bb (normal)

The probability of a single child being Branchydactylus = 2/4 = 0.5

So,  Probability of all 4 child being Branchydactylus = .5 x .5 x .5 x .5 = 0.0625
