Answer:

C. This is an example of VNTRs.

Explanation:

VNTRs are Variable Number Tandem Repeats. These are short sequences of DNA repeated in tandem (that is, the sequences are repeated one next to the other) a certain number of times. Unrelated individuals have a different number of repetitions for a certain region of the DNA, therefore the total length of the fragment is variable among individuals, depending on how many times the short sequence is repeated.

How can we help maintain healthy bay,estuary, and coastal ecosystem
Otrada [13]

The most obvious way we can establish and maintain a healthy coastal ecosystem is by recycling all recyclable materials and trying to live with as little waste as possible. Also, using clean transportation, such as biking and such, would help slow down air pollution; giving sealife clean air to breathe.

Minchanka [31]
<span>The tundra and the desert are very similar in one important way. Each of these biomes has low rainfall and available water, this results in plants in each environment that have adapted in similar ways. It causes these plants to have a waxy coating on the leaves which aids in preventing them from drying out.</span>

Dihybrid crosses
Darina [25.2K]

Explanation:

The phenotypes and genotypes of the progeny can be determined by a dihybrid cross of the parents.

The heterozygous male will have the genotype 'SSww' and the heterozygous female will have the genotype 'ssWW'.

When crossed, the F1 offsprings will have a hybrid genotype of 'SsWw'. These offsprings are heterozygous with spotted skin and wooly hair.

On self-crossing of the F1 hybrids, we find four different combinations of the alleles- SW, Sw, SW and sw. The probability of getting each of these combinations is 1/4.

Hence, the probability of any dihybrid type is 1 out of the 16 possible genotypes. Using Punnet square, we find

9 SSWW: 3 SSww: 3 ssWW : 1 ssww

This is the phenotypic ratio of the offsprings.

The ratio of the possible genotypes will be 1:2:1:2:4:2:1:2:1.
