Answer:

Stem cells.

Explanation:

Stem cells are the undifferentiated and unspecialized cells. These cells have the ability to divide for indefinite periods. Due to their ability to divide, these cells can give rise to specialized cells. Therefore, the cells present in the mucosal surface of the gastrointestinal tract that has the ability to give rise to specialized cells are stem cells. These cells are required to replace the damaged cells with the new functional cells.

This occurs in dihybrid crosses
There is a 9/16 chance of the offspring have all dominant traits
A 3/16 chance of the offsprings traits being dom/rec or rec/dom
A 1/16 chance of the traits being all recessive.

For example if Tall is dominant to short and Red is dominant to green

3/16ths will be either Tall and green OR short and Red
1/16ths chance the offspring will be short and green
