Prokaryotes have a significant role in decomposition of organic matter, bringing back key nutrients into the trophic network. By decomposing dead plant or animal parts, they enable the circulation of elements like phosphorus and sodium.
On the other hand, specialized bacteria have a role in transforming nitrogen compounds in the soil, converting them into chemical forms that are suitable for other organisms to use.

Suppose an animal is heterozygous AaBb, and the traits are not linked. When meiosis occurs, what is the total number of possible
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

4 possible combinations of gametes

Explanation:

The animal is considered an heterozygotic dihybrid because it involves two genes that have different alleles for both genes. The dihybrid animal undergoes meiosis to produce gametes. According to Mendel in his laws of segregation and independent assortment, the alleles of the two genes separate into gametes independently of one another to produce 4 types of gametes.

Number of possible combinations of gametes formed by an heterozygote can be determined by using 2^n, where n is the number of characters. Number of characters or genes involved in this case is 2, Hence, 2^2 = 4 gametes.

The allelic combination in the four gametes are: AB, Ab, aB, ab.
