The net ionic equation of the reaction could be determined by cancelling out the like ions between both sides of the reaction. These ions are called spectator ions. They are called as such because they do not actively participate in the reaction. The spectator ions are Na+ and Cl-. When you cancel those, the equation would become letter D.
The puppies have different colored noses because of reccesive and dominant genotypes.
Genotypes are represented by letters, capital being dominant and lowercase being recessive.
For example, lets say t = pink nose and T = black nose.
If the parents have black noses, then they will pass on T genotypes.
But, they also have hidden pink nose genotypes.
These hidden genotypes are passed on to the puppies, one of the puppies gets more black nose genotypes.
If a puppy gets tt, they will have a pink nose.
If they get TT, they will have a black nose
If they get Tt, they will also have a black nose.
Because the black nose is dominant, its more likley for the puppies to end up with a black nose.
It seems like the answer would be supporting services.
