Answer:
100%
Explanation:
Assuming the gene for polydactyly is represented by P. Normal finger will be represented by p.
A woman that is homozygous for polydactyly trait will have genotype PP while a man with normal 5 fingers and toes will have the genotype pp (since P is dominant over p).
PP x pp = Pp, Pp, Pp and Pp.
All the offspring will have the genotype Pp and since P is dominant over p, it means all the offspring will have polydactyly trait.
<em>Hence, the percentage of the offspring of the couple that would be expected to be polydactyly is 100%</em>
Answer:
American badger (Taxidea taxus) and Alfalfa (Medicago sativa)
Explanation:
American badger (Taxidea taxus) and Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) have 32 number of chromosomes in the somatic cells while on the other hand, there are 18 number of chromosomes in the sex cells of both American badger and Alfalfa due to haploid number of chromosomes. When the cell of American badger and Alfalfa undergoes mitosis, the parent cell divides and produces two daughter cells having diploid number of chromosomes.
