Answer:

The correct answer is -50%

Explanation:

Polydactyly is a dominant trait where a person gets an extra finger or toes the dominant allele is represented by P = allele for polydactyly, and the recessive allele represented by p = normal allele

So, the heterozygous woman will be - Pp & the normal man will be - pp.  The presence of one allele of polydactyly will be able to show its effect as it is dominant.

Cross between heterozygous woman & normal man:

Gametes:

   P                              p

p Pp (Show polydactyly) pp (Normal phenotype)

p Pp (Show polydactyly) pp (Normal phenotype)

From the above Punnett square, the probability of an offspring that has extra fingers or toes will be 1/2 or 50%.

Which method would allow you to study the behavior of a tiger in its native habitat in India?
IgorLugansk [536]
They are solitary animals, especially males who do not live in groups, unlike the female which can form small groups of three or four members with their young.

The males are very territorial, so take care of their personal space and the females with whom they mate. To mark their territory, they spray the trees and rocks with a mixture of urine and musk.

Both male and female, they are related only in times of mating and reproduction. There have been cases where the male is responsible for feeding breeding if the mother has died.

The gestation period lasts between 98 and 108 days and give birth to two to four cubs weighing just over a kilo. They have a short life expectancy, as only get to live 10 to 12 years in the wild, but in captivity Natural mortality manage to live up to 26. It is mainly due to the fighting between males
