In the world of purple people eaters, one eye (E) and one horn (H) are dominant traits. Purple people eaters
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

3

Explanation:

Male ; EeHh

Female ; EeHh

Then,

possible gametes for each = EH / Eh / eH / eh

where,

                            EH                    Eh                   eH                    eh

EH                      EEHH               EEHh              EeHH               EeHh

                     <em>   One eye            One eye         One eye          One eye</em>

<em>                         One horn          One horn        One horn        One horn</em>

<em />

Eh                      EEHh                 EEhh               EeHh                Eehh

                       <em>One eye              </em><em>One eye</em><em>         One eye          </em><em>One eye</em><em> </em>

                        <em>One horn            </em><em>Two horn</em><em>       One horn         </em><em>Two horn</em>

eH                     EeHH                  EeHh              eeHH                eeHh

                        <em>One eye             One eye         </em><u><em>Two eye</em></u><em>          </em><u><em>Two eye </em></u>

                        <em>One horn            One horn        </em><u><em>One horn</em></u><em>        </em><u><em>One horn</em></u><em> </em>

eh                     EeHh                   Eehh                eeHh                eehh

                      <em>One eye              </em><em> One eye    </em><em>      </em><u><em>Two eye</em></u><em>          </em><u><em> Two eye </em></u>

<em>                       One horn              </em><em>Two horn </em><em>       </em><u><em>One horn</em></u><em>         </em><u><em>Two horn </em></u>

<u><em /></u>

Therefore,

One eye, one horn:One eye, two horn:<u>Two eye, one horn</u>:Two eye,two horn

is,

9 : 3 : <em><u>3 </u></em>: 1

This ration proves that the above working is correct and is dihybrid cross.

How do the cells in meiosis differ from the cells in mitosis
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]
The purpose of mitosis is cell regeneration, growth, and asexual reproduction,while the purpose of meiosis is the production of gametes for sexual reproduction. Mitosis is a single nuclear division that results in two nuclei that are usually partitioned into two new daughter cells. The nuclei resulting from a mitotic division are genetically identical to the original nucleus. They have the same number of sets of chromosomes, one set in the case of haploid cells and two sets in the case of diploid cells. In most plants and all animal species, it is typically diploid cells that undergo mitosis to form new diploid cells. In contrast, meiosis consists of two nuclear divisions resulting in four nuclei that are usually partitioned into four new haploid daughter cells. The nuclei resulting from meiosis are not genetically identical and they contain one chromosome set only. This is half the number of chromosome sets in the original cell, which is diploid.
