Answer:

C. The offspring are genetically distinct from the parents because they are produced by sexual reproduction.

Explanation:

Producing gametes like egg and sperm is a characteristic feature of organisms who reproduce sexually. Sexual reproduction is much more advantageous than asexual reproduction because in sexual reproduction variations are generated due to a phenomenon known as crossing over. Crossing over is the reason why progeny are not exact replica of their parents and have variations. Variations are very important because if all the members of a particular species are exactly the same then during sudden climate change they all may be wiped -off because they all being exactly the same have same tolerance power. But if members of a population have variations then some of them may have ability to withstand extreme climatic conditions and even if suddenly climate changes or a natural calamity occurs then at least some of the members of that species will survive and will be able to continue their generations.

Fatty acid metabolism disorder is an autosomal recessive disorder. Two unaffected parents have 6 children - all of whom are unaf
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

There are only 2 possible genotypes for the mother, FF and Ff.

Explanation:

Because it is an autosomal inheritance, this case F will be the dominant allele and f the recessive allele, where f produces Fatty acid metabolism disorder. If the mother does not possess the disorder, she must possess at least one dominant allele for that specific gene. However, for the other allele, we cannot assure that it is dominant, since it can be recessive and not express itself either in her or in the offspring, because of the father we also only know his dominant allele.

Is decay of dead plant material a biotic factor or an abiotic factor?
Juliette [100K]
Technically you are able to argue both ends. Biotic factors are living things while abiotic factors are no living things. since the plant was once living, you can argue that it is a biotic factor, however, I would say the dead plant decay would be abiotic because it is not living anymore. I hope that helped!
