The correct option is A.
Scientists had discovered that some animals, such as Elysia chlorotica has the capacity to photosynthesize. The animal usually incorporate chloroplast into its cell from the algae which it feeds on. The chloroplast enable it to make proteins which are essential for photosynthesis.

The right answer is A. Some carry out photosynthesis...

The sea slug, Elysia chlorotica, is the first discovered animal able to use photosynthesis to produce energy. This photosynthesis is performed by the chloroplasts of its main food source, the seaweed Vaucheria litorea. They are sequestered by the digestive epithelium of the slug for several months according to a phenomenon of kleptoplasty, continuing their function of carrying out photosynthesis.  

However, the chloroplasts of Vaucheria litorea have transferred a large part of their genes required for photosynthesis to the nucleus of the cells of this alga during evolution. Photosynthesis is nevertheless maintained in the sea slug thanks to the transfer of a gene necessary for photosynthesis from the kernel of the seaweed to the genotype of the slug.

all plants give out oxygen during day and carbon dioxide during night. Do you agree with this statement. Give reason
Citrus2011 [14]

This statement is incomplete.

"All plants give out oxygen during day and carbon dioxide during night"

Explanation :

Photosynthesis occurs only during day time.

During this time oxygen is produced . Some oxygen is used for respiration and rest of oxygen is diffused out into air.

Carbon dioxide produced during day time by respiration is used in photosynthesis.

But at night time, no photosynthesis occurs  and hence no oxygen is produced oxygen from air diffuses into leaves to carry out respiration and carbon dioxide produced by respiration diffuses out into air.

Hence Respiration occurs day and night .. Hence Carbon dioxide  is emitted  all the time....

What name is given to the most common phenotype in a natural population?
Artemon [7]

Answer:

The correct answer would be d. wild-type.

Wild type refers to the gene, strain, or character which is most commonly found in the population in natural conditions.

The allele or the gene which is found rarely in the population is termed as mutant allele or character.

For example, the wild-type phenotype of fur color of tigers is orange with black strips whereas the mutant phenotype would be a white coat with black strips.

The oldest rocks found on Earth are 3.96 billion years old. However, scientists believe the Earth is about 4.6 billion years old
MAVERICK [17]
As the earth has active tectonics we know that rocks are recycled and the oldest rocks may therefore just be the oldest rocks that have not been recycled yet. We know the true age of the earth by looking at radioactive isotopes of things like spacedust and meteors that formed at the same time as the earth as they have not been affected by the tectonic process of recycling here on Earth.
