Question
Chapter 5.5, Problem 2MQ
Summary Introduction
All microbes replicate, grow, or divide to survive and prolong their generations. The microbial growth is increasing in the number of microbial cells. During the cell division, the one cell is divided into two daughter cells and this process is repeated numerous times, which is called as cell growth.

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?
what is this called?
