The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

a. The woman with stretch marks has a greater collagen-to-elastic fiber ratio.

b. The woman may have different gender babies.

c. The woman with less stretch marks has larger skin cells.

d. The woman without stretch marks has more cholesterol in her diet, which affects her cell membranes.

Answer:

The woman with stretch marks has a greater collagen-to-elastic fiber ratio.

Explanation:

The stretch marks on the hips, stomach and breast of pregnant women is a very common problem. These stretch marks appear pinkish in color which is very difficult to treat.

These stretch marks are the result of the collagen to elastin ratio which increases and stretches. This stretching happens due to the sudden or rapid increase in the weight of the body or the affected portion.

Thus, the selected option is correct.

In sexual reproduction, what type of cell(s), haploid or diploid, do these organisms have ?
mihalych1998 [28]

A dihybrid cross is performed between plants that differ in two Mendelian traits: Stem length (T or t) and flower coloration (R
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

A. 3/16

Explanation:

The four possible outcomes for Stem length are:

Tt, tT, TT and tt.

The dominant trait (tall stems) will manifest itself in 3 out of 4 outcomes, so its ratio is 3/4.

The four possible outcomes for flower coloration are:

Rr, rR, RR and rr.

The non-dominant trait (white flowers) will manifest itself in 1 out of 4 outcomes, so its ratio is 1/4.

Multiplying both ratios gives us the ratio of offspring that have tall stems and white flowers:

\frac{3}{4}*\frac{1}{4}=\frac{3}{16}

Therefore, the answer is A. 3/16
