The rationale behind the lack of bleeding after cutting nails and pulling hair.
Introduction:
Blood is the connective tissue that provides oxygen and nutrition to all the body cells. Whenever a body part is injured, due to the presence of a vast network of blood vessels, it bleeds. However, cutting nails and pulling hair does not lead to bleeding. The rationale behind this phenomenon is explained below.

There is a species of eagle, which lives in a tropical forest in Brazil. The alula pattern of its wings is determined by a single autosomal gene with four alleles that exhibit an unknown hierarchy of dominance. Genetic testing shows that individuals 1-1, 11-4, 11-7, III-1, and III-4 are each homozygous.
How many possible genotypes among checkered eagles in the population?
