Answer:

Adaptive theory of sleep is also called as evolutionary theory which states that period of inactivity evolved as a means of conservation of energy.

According to the adaptive inactivity theory of sleep all species have a adopted tendency to sleep at the time period when waking is dangerous for the species.

It says that sleeping is necessary and it is a strategy of the body to conserve energy in order to stay energetic and healthy.

Which is used as evidence for the idea that multicellular organisms evolved from prokaryotes
anzhelika [568]

Living things has emerged into three domains called Archaea, bacteria, and eukaryotes. Evident that support the idea that multi cellular that is eukaryotic cell evolved from the prokaryotic cell are the descendents of the separate prokaryotic cells that together form a union which are inter dependent.

For example: The mitochondria which is referred to the energy source of the cell is considered as the great-great-great-granddaughter of a bacterium cell which is free living. This free living bacterium bacterial cell was consumed by an other cell and this remained as the stable guest in the cell. This mitochondria provided chemical energy to the cell and also protected the nutrient rich environment.  which surrounds it. This process of one organism residing in the other organism completely is called endosymbiosis.

What are the chances that a kitten born would have a DIFFERENT genotype than the sister's cat Moo?
Strike441 [17]

A kitten born will have genotype different from sister because the concentration of gene expressed is different in all kittens as it is a phenomenon of codominance.

Explanation:

The moo cat is black and white bicolour cat.

The cat has white colour fur which is combined with some other colour as black.

White colour in cat has white spotting gene that prevents the patches over cat's body.

SS genotype results in large concentration of white colour.

Ss results in medium concentration of white colour.

ss results in black or other dark colurs with very meager or no white colour on skin.

The resultant colour appearance of skin in cats is due to codominance. The colour of the skin depends on the concentration of gene and protein expressed. So, the sister moo cats can have diffrent genotype and different level of white colour patches on the skin and genotype of SS,Ss or ss can be there in sister kittens.
