Answer: The answer is 11 sex cells, haploid chromosomes
Explanation:
Answer: one offspring out of the four will have a recessive-recessive genotype.
Explanation: A cross between two parents who are heterozygous for a gene that has a simple dominant-recessive pattern of inheritance will produce four offsprings: one will be homozygous dominant, two will be heterozygous dominant while one will be homozygous recessive.
Homozygous dominant offspring has two dominant alleles, heterozygous dominant offspring has one dominant allele and one recessive allele while a homozygous recessive offspring has two recessive alleles.
For example, a cross between two parents that are heterozygous (Tt) for tall will produce one TT, two Tt and one tt. TT is homozygous dominant, Tt is heterozygous dominant and tt is homozygous recessive. An offspring with genotype tt has a two recessive alleles thus have a recessive-recessive genotype. Therefore the number of offsprings with recessive-recessive genotype is one.

Operons are gene regulatory mechanisms that involve promoting and repressing genes that are involved in the metabolism of organic substances (i.e. sugars). Living organisms have the innate ability to metabolize glucose as the main source of energy. Although, in the absence of glucose, the organism must "learn" to use sugars other than glucose (such as lactose) in order to survive.
For instance, in the <em>lac </em>operon:
In the absence of glucose, various regulatory proteins promote the transcription of the gene related to the metabolism of lactose. This will ultimately lead to the production of the enzyme beta lactosidase which will enable the organism to use lactose as energy in the absence of glucose. This will therefore increase the chances of the organism for survival and will be naturally selected for evolution.
