Answer:

The correct answer would be A 23.

It is because human egg is a female gamete which is formed by meiotic division.

A meiotic division is reduction division which reduces the number of chromosomes to half in daughter cells or gametes.

Thus, if a skin cell or somatic cell contains 46 chromosomes then the egg or sperm (gametes) would contain only 23 chromosomes.

Georgia [21]

Answer:

llbb

Explanation:

<em>The genotype of the black, short-haired otter could be determined by testing-crossing with a brown, long-haired otter whose genotype would be </em><em>llbb</em><em>.</em>

Analysis of the resulting zygote from the cross would give an indication of the genotype of the otter - whether it has two dominant alleles each for the black, short-hair traits or heterozygous.

<u>If the otter has two dominant alleles for the two traits, all the resulting zygote from the test-cross would have black, short-hair, but if it is heterozygous, a mixed phenotype set of zygote would be obtained.</u>
