Answer:

<h2> (1/4 * 60) </h2><h2>The probability. that child will have extra fingers and toes are = 0.15 </h2>

Explanation:

As given; extra fingers and toes are caused by a recessive trait.

Penetrance= 60%.

Parents are heterozygous, assume  Ff and Ff

F is dominant over f, and ff are homozygous recessive.

Ff crossed with Ff

Progeny are; FF, Ff, Ff and ff.

ff are homozygous recessive, as given that extra fingers and toes are caused by a recessive trait, so 1/4 will show the trait.

But according to 60% penetrance the trait will occur in = (1/4 * 60) =15% or 0.15 progeny will show the trait .

The probability, that child will have extra fingers and toes are = 0.15

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is - 1000:1

Explanation:

Prokaryotic cells are unicellular organism of the domain prokaryotes and archaea. These cells lacks cell organelles however other components such as plasma membrane, cytoplasm and DNA. The size of the prokaryotic cell ranges between 0.1 to 5.0 µm.

On other hand eukaryotic cells also contain cellular structure like plasma membrane DNA , cytoplasm but also include true nucleus and other cell organelles that are double membrane bounded. The average cell size of these cells are tend to be - 10 to 100 of the cell size

Thus, the correct answer is - 1000:1.
