Viruses are considered to be non-living pathogens due to their lack of metabolic processes. Therefore, option (C) is correct.

<h3>What is a virus?</h3>

Viruses are complex assemblages of molecules that include proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and carbohydrates; but, on their own, they are unable to perform any function and must first infect a living cell in order to become active. There would be no possibility of viral reproduction if cells did not exist. Consequently, viruses do not qualify as living beings.

Viruses are not alive because they do not have any of the essential components that are present in living beings. These components include cytoplasm and organelles. They are unable to carry out the duties of the cell such as metabolism and homeostasis.

A male is heterozygous for the trait that produces freckles on the skin, and he has freckles. if he marries a woman who is also
kakasveta [241]
<span>F- allele for freckles
f- </span><span>allele without freckles

1) The man is heterozygote and has freckles, its indicating that the allele for freckles is dominant.
A cross between him and a woman who is also </span><span>heterozygote: Ff x Ff
it would result in the following probabilities:
- 1/4 - homozygote with freckles: FF
- 2/4 - </span><span>heterozygote with freckles: Ff
- 1/4- </span><span>homozygote without freckles:ff

Their son would have a probability of 75% of being born with freckles.


2) The cross resulted in this probabilities:
</span><span><span>- 1/4 - homozygote with freckles: FF
- 2/4 - </span><span>heterozygote with freckles: Ff
- 1/4- </span><span>homozygote without freckles:ff
So, the chance of being born heterozygote for this gene is 2/4, which is the same as half (50%).
