Answer:

Polysaccharides, one of the carbohydrate classes, act as structural and supporting elements in plant and bacterial cell walls and also in connective tissue and animal cell lining. They also act as the reserve of energy producing monosaccharides. Reserve homopolysaccharides in plant cells are starch and in animal cells glycogen.

The main functions of structural polysaccharides in animals are the stabilization and support of cellular and fibrous tissue components, conferring resistance while helping to maintain the water and ionic balance.

Answer:

C. An approximately three-to-one ratio of black to brown coated mice in F2 is accounted for by the black allele being dominant over the brown allele

Explanation:

Assuming the black genotype is BB and the brown genotype is bb.

At F1:

                 BB   x   bb = All Bb (black)

At F2:

                  Bb   x   Bb = BB (black), 2Bb (Black), bb (brown)

Th ratio of black to brown is 3:1

961 black : 317 brown is approximately 3:1.

Hence, the correct option is C.

<em>An approximately three-to-one ratio of black to brown coated mice in F2 is accounted for by the black allele being dominant over the brown allele</em>
