Let’s suppose a sheep that provided the oocyte for reproductive cloning was homozygous for a gene that causes a small head. This

gene follows a maternal effect pattern of inheritance. The oocyte had its nucleus removed and then was fused with a mammary cell that was homozygous for the nonmutant allele, which results in a normal-sized head. Would you expect the resultant lamb to have a small or normal-sized head? Explain your choice.

Romashka [77]
This role would be the organisms niche. None of the other choices make any sense. A nesting site is not a role, a biomass is not a role, and territorial range is not the role an animal has in its community. A niche is an organisms role in its community, how it interacts with the things around it, where it lives and what it does.
