Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Let us assume that Long needles trait is dominant over short needles trait. Also “L” represents the long needle while “l” represents the short needles.  

Therefore “Ll” would represent a  heterozygous dominant genotype.  

Now cross is carried out between  

Ll * ll

Ll, Ll, ll, ll

Out of four offspring two are heterozygous long needled while two are homozygous short needles.  

Hence, option B is correct

<span>The correct answer is B. As one parent cactus is dominant heterozygous, and another is homozygous recessive, half of the progeny will bear long needles (as they carry dominant allele L), and hald will bear short needles (As they carry both recessive alleles).</span>

BaLLatris [955]

Answer: There is a 50% chance that the offspring will inherit Huntington's disease

Explanation:

Huntington's disease is expressed by a dominant allele.

Since the father is heterozygous for Huntington's disease, his genotype would be as follows:Hh

Even though he carries a normal allele, the dominant allele is disease causing and thus masks the effects of the normal allele, therefore he expresses the disease.

The mother does not have Huntington's because she is homozygous recessive, in other words, she carries 2 copies of the normal alleles.with the genotype hh.

If you do a punnet square, and you cross the mother and father, the following genotypes can be produced:

Hh, Hh, hh, hh

Therefore, there's a 50% chance that the offspring will inherit the disease causing allele and 50% chance that the offspring will not inherit it.
