Answer:

25% heterozygous tall

Explanation:

If we take the F1 generation as parents and let them self-fertilise, we have 4 crosses.

The first one for homozygous tall, then we have 100% AA.

The second and third one for heterozygous tall and we have 25% AA, 50%Aa and 25%aa for each of them.

The last one would be for dwarf, and we'll have 100%aa.

Adding all of them, we'll have

AA = 100 + 25 + 25 = 150%

Aa =  50+50 = 100%

aa = 100 + 25 + 25 = 150%

as we had 4 crosses, so dividing the total percentages by 4, we'll have,

AA = 37.5%

Aa = 25%

aa = 37.5%

:. The percentage of heterozygous tall would be 25%.

Hope it helps:)

<h3>What is the cuticle?</h3>

The cuticle is the most exterior layer of arthropods' tegument. It is secreted by the epidermis and develops right over it.

It is composed of two main layers,

  • epicuticle ⇒ outermost layer
  • procuticle ⇒ inner layer

The cuticle is mainly made of chitin, and its function is to protect the organism's body and avoid dehydration.

Because it avoids dehydration it is believed that arthropods had such an evolutive and adaptative successful in their transition from water to the land.

The cuticle also provides support to the body and a muscle attachment surface.
