Answer:

A. AaBb x AaBb

Explanation:

The term heterozygous refers to the presence of two different alleles of same gene in an organism. The one allele can be of wild type (original type) and one can be mutated or newly formed.

In the question, two traits are represented by two letters, A and B and alleles as A and a and B and b, respectively. We are asked about a cross involving two traits and two individuals in such a way that both are heterozygous.

If we look at option A, AaBb x AaBb,

we see that one trait A and the other trait B is in heterozygous form (Aa and Bb) in both individuals.

If we look at option B. AABB x AABB

we see that one trait A and the other trait B is in homozygous form form (AA and BB) in both individuals. Homozygous means when the alleles are same for each trait in an individual.

If we look at option C,Aa x Bb

There are not two traits, one trait of one individual and other trait of other individual is being crossed that is not possible.

If we look at option D. AAaa x BBbb

Again, the individuals are homozygous for two traits.


Therefore, A is best option.


Hope it helps!

The process by which ions join to reform the solid is called dissolution
mestny [16]
I believe the process by which ions join to reform the solid is called precipitation. It is a process in which ions leave a solution and regenerate an ionic solid. For example; Ag+(aq) + Cl-(aq) = AgCl (s). Dissolution on the other hand is the process in which an ionic solid dissolves in a polar liquid; it is the opposite of precipitation.
