Answer:

c. The P allele is less frequent in the US than the p allele.

Explanation:

If people with the heterozygous genotype "Pp" present polydactyly, only people with the genotype "pp" will not present polydactyly. Since 99.9% of the population do not exhibit polydactyly, then it can be concluded that the "p" allele is much more frequent in the US than the "P" allele.

Therefore, the answer is:

c. The P allele is less frequent in the US than the p allele.

Starch test is the food test that was carried out in the experiment. Starch from plants is broken down into its constituent sugar molecules by the plant body in order to provide energy to the tissues so if there is no photosynthesis occurs, the plant body uses starch so decrease occur in the concentration of the starch molecules when the starch food test will occur.

madreJ [45]

Answer:

DECOMPOSERS

Explanation:

Decomposers (Figure below) get nutrients and energy by breaking down dead organisms and animal wastes. Through this process, decomposers release nutrients, such as carbon and nitrogen, back into the environment. These nutrients are recycled back into the ecosystem so that the producers can use them
