Answer:

Has three dominant alleles

Explanation:

Skin colour is a polygenetic inheritance and it is controlled by three genes pairs of alleles. The human skin is determined by the amount of melanin it contains. A combination of melanin producing alleles  determines the skin color.

In the above question, the person has a skin color that is midway meaning only half of the alleles produced melanin. The total number of alleles is 6 and half of it is 3. So, only 3 alleles were dominant and the remaining three were recessive.

- The cells are divided by a process called mitosis.

Eg: Plants, Animals.

Prokaryotes:

- Organisms without a well defined nucleus are known as prokaryotes. Such cells are called as Prokaryotic cells.

- They lack nuclear membrane.

- Mitochondria, Golgi bodies, chloroplast and lysosomes are absent.

- The genetic material (DNA) is present on the chromosome.

Eg: Every organism coming under the kingdom monera.

True [87]

Answer by YourHope:


Are flowers counted as an asexual reproducer?


It all depends on the flower. Flower plants are capable of sexual reproduction. However, they vary on whether they can reproduce both ways, or only sexually.
