Hey there :)
It is called myxedema
It is the disposition of mucus polysaccharides in the dermis resulting in swelling of the affected area
Myx (mucus) + edema (swelling)
Photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts.
Answer:
By performing a test cross i.e. a cross with a recessive trait
Explanation:
According to the question, hairlessness is a recessive trait, meaning that it will only be expressed in a homozygous condition i.e. when there are two recessive alleles in the genotype. Presence of hair is dominant, meaning that it will mask the phenotypic expression of hairlessness allele in a heterozygous state. Hence, a dominant phenotype can either be homozygous (same dominant allele) or heterozygous (combination of dominant and recessive alleles).
In order to determine which of these genotypes the dominant phenotype possess, we perform a test cross. A test cross is a cross performed to determine the genotype of the dominant organism by crossing it with a homozygous recessive genotype.
Ideally, the offsprings resulting from the cross will all be phenotypically dominant if the organism in question is homozygous dominant but if the organism is heterozygous dominant, the offsprings will occur in an equal ratio of dominant to recessive phenotypes.
So in this case, all of offsprings of this cross between the rat terriers will possess hair if the dominant rat terrier dog is homozygous, but if the dominant rat terrier dog is heterozygous, an hairless offspring will be produced.
Answer: The genotype of the generation resulting from the given P ( parental generation) is Aa that is all offsprings in the first generation will be heterozygous dominant.
The genotype of the parents is AA and aa and the gametes produced by these parents are A and a respectively.
When these gametes fuse, they result in the offsprings with genotype Aa. This represents a dominant phenotype due to the presence of dominant gene ( a gene that masks the expression of recessive gene and expresses itself), which is A in this case.
