Answer: A (AA x aa)

Explanation:

In option (A) both of the parent mussels are homozygotes, for alleles "a" and "A" respectively. Therefore, every single one (100%) of their offspring would be expected to be Aa heterozygotes. Combinations (B) and (D) yield a lower proportion of heterozygotes (50%), and combination (C) yields none at all. Punnett squares follow:

(A)

<u>   |  A      A        </u>

<u>a |  aA    aa      </u>

<u />

(C)

<u>   |   A      A        </u>

<u>A |  AA    AA     </u>

<u>A |  AA    AA     </u>

4.Merkel cells
Merkel cells are also known as <em>tactile cells</em>. They are the sensory receptor for touch. Merkel cells and the nerve fiber together are called the Merkel disc. 

5. Dentritic cells
They are also known as <em>Langerhans cells</em>. They can be found in two layers of the epidermis: the stratum spinosm; and stratum granulosm. They are what you call macrophages that come from the bone marrow. They serve as immune cells that provide protection against toxins, microbes and other pathogens that try to penetrate the skin.
