If there are 16 alleles for tongue curling, then 16 is the maximum and 8 is the minimum number of people exhibiting the trait.

<h3>What is a dominant trait?</h3>

In genetics, complete dominance is a phenomenon where only one allele is sufficient to express a trait.

A homo-zygous is an individual having the same alleles or gene variant for a specific gene locus.

A heterozygous is an individual having two different alleles or variants for a specific gene locus.

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

In the experiment conducted by Alisha to test the effect of different materials on the melting rate of ice, the dependent variable is the mass of the ice, and the independent variable is the type of cover material.

Explanation:

During an investigation or experiment, the dependent variable is the one whose changes will be studied, while the independent variable is able to influence the changes of the dependent variable.

In the case where it is wanted to <u>measure how different cover materials affect the rate of ice melting</u>, the dependent variable is the mass of ice and the independent variable is the coverage material, capable of affecting the time it takes for the ice to melt.

Vinvika [58]

A facultative anaerobe.

Explanation:

Anaerobes are organisms which can produce energy via the process of fermentation in the absence of oxygen. The anaerobes can be classified as facultative anaerobes and obligate anaerobes.

Facultative anaerobes are those which can carry out respiration in presence of oxygen but can choose to follow the fermentation pathway if oxygen is absent. Fermentation also uses glucose.

Aerobic respiration produces 32 molecules of ATP from one  molecules of glucose while fermentation produces only 2 molecules of ATP . Thus when the organism switches to fermentation pathway it utilizes more and more glucose to reach its energy demands.

Considering all the above points we can conclude that observations indicate that the organism is a facultative anaerobe.
