Answer:

100%

Explanation:

Assuming the gene for polydactyly is represented by P. Normal finger will be represented by p.

A woman that is homozygous for polydactyly trait will have genotype PP while a man with normal 5 fingers and toes will have the genotype pp (since P is dominant over p).

PP   x   pp = Pp, Pp, Pp and Pp.

All the offspring will have the genotype Pp and since P is dominant over p, it means all the offspring will have polydactyly trait.

<em>Hence, the percentage of the offspring of the couple that would be expected to be polydactyly is 100%</em>

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

During the asexual reproduction, bacteria can divide simply by binary fission in which one bacteria first replicate its genetic material and the cell divide in two daughter cells which are identical to the parent cell.

Asexual reproduction does not allow genetic variation therefore to get genetic variation bacteria can use conjugation, transformation and transduction process.

In conjugation, bacteria gets extra genetic material from other bacteria through sex pills. In transduction the genetic material enters into the bacterial cell through the virus then bacteria incorporate this genetic material in its genome.

In transformation, bacteria takes up the extra genetic material from it's surrounding. Therefore conjugation, transduction, and transformation helps bacterial to gain variation like as in sexual reproduction.
