Answer / swapna
A stem cell is a generic cell that can make exact copies of
itself indefinitely. It is a precursor cell that has the
ability to make specialized cells for various tissues in
the body (such as heart muscle, brain tissue and liver
tissue).
Stem cell research is expected to impact advances in curing
diseases such as Alzheimer?s and Parkinson?s disease,
diabetes, spinal cord injury, heart disease, stroke,
arthritis, and cancer.

The dominant gene (G) produces green hair in mermaids and the recessive gene (g) produces blue hair. Webbed fingers are due to the dominant gene (F) and normal fingers are recessive (f). A mermaid who was heterozygous for hair color and who had normal fingers had a father with blue hair and webbed fingers and a mother with green hair and webbed fingers. What are the genotypes of all individuals (as completely as possible)?
