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.

In hogs a gene that produces a white belt around the animal's body is dominant over its allele for a uniform body. Another independent dominant gene produces fusion of the hoof (syndactyly). Suppose a uniformly colored hog homozygous for syndactyly is mated with a normal footed hog homozygous for the belted character. What would be the phenotype of the F1? If the F1's interbreed, what would be the phenotypic ratio of the F2?
