Answer:

PpDD and PpDd

Explanation:

Pigmented eyes (P) are dominant to non-pigmented (p), and dimpled chins (D) are dominant to Non-dimpled chins (d).

The <u>possible genotypes of a pigment-eyed, dimple-chinned person</u> would be  PPDD, PpDd, PPDd, PpDD while a blue-eyed person without a dimpled chin would have the genotype ppdd.

The genotype of a blue-eyed, dimpled chin child would be either of ppDd or ppDD, but in this case, the mother is ppdd and as such, the child cannot have two copies of D allele. Hence, the genotype of the child can only be ppDd.

In order for the child to have blue eyes (pp), it means that the father has to have the non-pigmented allele (p). This also means that the father is heterozygous for eye pigmentation (Pp).

<em>Hence, the genotype of the father is now limited to </em><em>PpDD</em> <em>and </em><em>PpDd</em>.

mezya [45]

Answer:

Sinkholes can occur when<u> excessive water use lowers a water table and weakens the substrate.</u>

Explanation:

There are various causes for sinkholes, but all are related to water and how this can affect the soil. One of the causes of sinkholes is the excessive use of water. Excessive use lowers the volume of water in aquifers. As a consequence, the substrates that are above the aquifer change. They can not support large amounts of weight, leading to a sinkhole and soil with low permeability.
