Mendel observed that a heterozygote offspring can show the same phenotype as the parent homozygote, so he concluded that there were some traits that dominated over other inherited traits. However, the relationship of genotype to phenotype is rarely as simple as the dominant and recessive patterns described by Mendel.
The answer is B: 'the smoke that results is toxic'. An example is the burning of domestic garbage, which remains a common practise, particularly in developing countries. This practice can release g<span>reenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and also tiny particles and toxic chemicals that can harm human lungs.</span>
Natural selection affects the scope of the niche of a given species. Moreover, trade-offs are associated with differences in traits that also may affect the niche of a species.
<h3>Natural selection and trade-offs </h3>
Natural selection refers to the differential survival or reproduction of individuals in particular environmental conditions.
The different niches occupied by species are mainly a consequence of differential trade-offs among species, i.e., by differential phenotypic features that generate negative correlations among species.
Grime’s Triangle is based on the associations (trade-off) between adaptation to productivity and/or competition, stressful environments (habitats) and disturbance.

Answer:
A. His mitochondria lack the transport protein that moves pyruvate across the outer mitochondrial membrane.
Explanation:
Pyruvate is from the breakdown of carbohydrates such as glucose through glycolysis. Glucose enters the cytosol through specific transporters (the GLUT family) and is processed by one of several pathways depending on cellular requirements. Glycolysis occurs in the cytosol and produces a limited amount of ATP, but the end product is two 3-carbon molecules of pyruvate, which maybe diverted again into many pathways depending on the requirements of the cell. In aerobic conditions, pyruvate is primarily transported into the mitochondrial matrix and converted to acetyl-coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) and carbon dioxide by the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC).
Initially it was proposed that pyruvate was able to cross the membrane in its undissociated (acid) form but evaluation of its biochemical properties show that it is largely in its ionic form within the cell and should therefore require a transporter.
Transport of pyruvate across the outer mitochondrial membrane appears to be easily accomplished via large non-selective channels such as voltage-dependent anion channels/porin, which enable passive diffusion. Indeed, deficiencies in these channels have been suggested to block pyruvate metabolism
