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>.

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

In the spring, grass often dies near the roads that have been salted because, after salt has been applied and it fell on grasses, the salts penetstrate through the plant cell, and dehydrate water from the cells of the plant. Which result in loss of water in the cell and this make the cell not to be able to perform it's functions because of loss of water and hence because water us essential for it and it is lost, grasses dies.
