Answer:
<em>If a cell in your body has 46 chromosomes, it is said to be diploid.</em>
Explanation:
A diploid cell can be described as a cell that has chromosomes present in it in the form of pairs. There are 23 pairs of chromosomes in the autosomal cells of a human body. This means that in total there are 46 chromosomes in the autosomal cells.
However, the sex cells of the humans are haploid. The sex cells of humans have 23 chromosomes. The male and female sex cells unite to form diploid cell.
I would need more info to clarify, but I would believe this is an conclusion considering it's apart of the science project, which I assume is done.
Hi,
Let us get an introduction of the problem first, Incomplete dominance is a pattern of inheritance in which, offspring from the cross of two parents shows a phenotype that is not like either parent but in between both.
For example: Let us take the example of Oompah's hair that can be either red or purple or blue. As described in the question, Red is dominant so let us denote allele for Red hair with R. The other hair color is blue that is recessive, let us denote its allele with r. Now, there is another intermediate phenotype that is purple, let us denote it with Rr because it is derived through a combination of R and r.
Now, here is the key for all possible genotypes and phenotypes of Oompahs. There are only three possible genotypes and phenotypes for the hair color.
Genotype: Phenotype
RR : Red hair
Rr : purple hair
rr : Blue hair
This is because no allele can fully express itself over the other. So is we cross a red hair Oompah with Blue hair Oompah, let us see what will happen:
RR x rr
Gametes: r and R
rr: Rr : Rr : RR
It means that 25 % of the offspring will have red hair, 50% will have contain purple hair and 25 % will have blue hair.
RR: Red hair 25%
Rr: Purple hair 50 %
rr: Blue hair 25%
Hope it helps!
