Answer:

10 possible genotypes

Explanation:

Genotype is defined as the genetic makeup of an individual, ie the set of all genes in that organism. The gene, in turn, can be defined as a specific nucleotide sequence of DNA that stores hereditary information. They present information that will be responsible for a given characteristic. Each individual has a specific genotype that is made up of genes from their parents that will be kept for the life of the organism.

To know how many genotypes a population can present from the number of alleles, we must calculate by the formula: alleles x (alleles+1)/2

This way we will have:

4x (4 + 1) / 2 =

4x (5) / 2 =

20/2 = 10 possible genotypes.

yuradex [85]

Answer:

The tilt of earth's rotation axis stays the same as it orbits the sun​.

Explanation:

The axis of the Earth is an imaginary line around which the Earth is known to orbit. The axis of the earth is known to tilt at an angle of 66 and a half degrees. The tilt of the axis of the Earth remains the same and it does nor change as the earth orbits around the sun. The orbiting of the Earth around its axis causes day and night to occur on the planet Earth. The rotation of the Earth around its axis is slowing with time.
