The fraction of offspring that the Punnett square predict will be tall is ¾ (option C).
<h3>What is the punnet square?</h3>
The punnet square is a graphical representation used to determine the probability of an offspring expressing a particular genotype.
The punnet square is used to predict the percentage or proportion of offsprings of a cross that possess a specific genotype.
According to this question, a punnet square shows a cross between two tall pea plants. The allele for tall height (T) is said to be dominant while the allele for short height (t) is recessive.
If two heterozygous genotype crosses i.e. Tt × Tt, the percentage of offsprings that will be tall is 75% or ¾.
Therefore, the fraction of offspring that the Punnett square predict will be tall is ¾.

Explanation:
If you have been in EMS long enough, you may well have encountered a patient with diabetes insipidus. Like many, you may have assumed that it is a variant of the common disease diabetes mellitus. Actually, diabetes mellitus and diabetes insipidus are totally unrelated other than the name. The term diabetes is derived from Latin (originally Greek) and means “to go through or siphon,” referring to a large amount of urine produced by the kidneys. The term melitus, in Latin, means “sweet.”

Explanation:
In asexual reproduction method, the offspring generated is identical genetically to the parents. But this is not the case in sexual reproduction. The reason being that the gametes or sex cells produced has only one set of chromosomes and are therefore haploid after the process of meiosis. Meiosis is the process when the offspring formed has chromosomes from two parents and is not identical to the parent. Only certain characteristics are inherited by the offspring from both the parents and offspring has different set of characteristics.
There is a process of assortment taking place inside the cell when the double set of chromosomes becomes one set in a gamete. Out of the pair of chromosomes, there is a random selection. Due to this random assortment, there is a genetic variation between the gametes as the gene alleles on the chromosome are not the same. This principle is said to be the Mendel’s first law of segregation.
Another process of combining chromosomes is the crossing over during the meiosis stage which results in variety of chromosomes. We can say that recombination is possible.
Hence, we can note that during assortment and crossing over, there is no chance for two offspring to be identical to the same mother or father with the exception of identical twins. In the case of identical twins, the genetically identical characteristics develops from same fertilized egg.
From the above process, the structure of gene gets changed creating a variant that can get transmitted to next generation. The change is caused by altering the single base units of DNA or rearranging larger section of genes.
