If you keep in mind that a child gets one gene from the father, andanother from the mother, all should be fine.

a) starting with the father: since he is infected, he then has atleast one P. Knowing his mother wasn't, then her genotype was pp.Since he must have gotten one of her genes, then the father'sgenotype is Pp.
Since her mother had normal eyes, she must have had pp, because ifshe had even one P, she would have ptosis -since the allele isdominant-.
Since the woman is infected, and her mother is pp, then for thesame reasoning as her father, her genotype is Pp.

b) so this is a cross between Pp X pp. Draw your punnets square.There's a 50% chance that her children will have pp genotype thusno ptosis. 50% of her children will have ptosis with genotype Pp.

Which statement best explains why muscle cells and skin cells do not look and act the same
vichka [17]
Because they are made to perform two different functions. Cells are part of tissues that are part of organs that perform a certain function. For example, your bone cells are made to make blood cells, so they wouldn’t be in your lungs as well.
