A scientific question should be B. Creative.
Gene pool would be the most logical answer.
Solving from row to row(left to right then go down one)
1) dominant dominant dominant dominant recessive dominant recessive dominant dominant recessive recessive dominant dominant dominant dominant
1) all the possible genotypes are also identified by color in the image below :AABBAAbB or AABbaABB or AaBBaAbB or aABb or AabB or AaBbAAbb
aAbb or AabbaaBB
aabB or aaBbaabbThere are 9 different genotypes in total. These can be achived by mixing the alleles of both genes of each parent (just like it's represented in the square).
2) there are 4 phenotypes
-one with an allele A and allele B that would dominate the other. (AABB, aAbB, for example)
- one with all alleles recessive- aabb
-one with the recessive alleles in the gene A but heterozygotic/homozigotic dominant for gene B ( for example: aaBB)
-one with the recessive alleles in the gene B but heterozygotic/homozigotic dominant for gene A ( for example: Aabb)
3) <span>probability of having offspring with the aabb genotype: 1/16
Just by looking at the punnet square, you can see that only one has the aabb genotype, in all the 16 possibilities.

It can be concluded that the cells CONTAIN ACID FAST BACTERIA.
Acid fast staining is a staining technique that is used to differentiate two types of gram positive cells, those that have waxy mycolic acid in their cell wall and those that do not.
Those cells that do not have mycolic acid in their cell wall will show blue color after acid fast staining.<span />
