Answer:
The correct answer is option C.
Explanation:
As it is given that, a Mendelian cross is performed between two parents resulted by cross the parents. This suggests that the parents or P generation has zero recombination hence the genotype of Parents would be AA and aa in nature. Therefore, all the F1 generation offspring were Aa in nature. The selfing of the F1 offspring will be:
A a
A AA Aa
a Aa aa
Genotype: AA: Aa: aa :: 1:2:1
Phenotype: Dominant: recessive :: 3:1
Increased atmospheric carbon dioxide will diffuse to the ocean water (since normally, there is lower concentration of dissolved carbon dioxide in the ocean water). The dissolved carbon dioxide takes into the form of carbonic acid thereby increasing acidity of ocean water. More often than not, the acidification of ocean water leads to detrimental results especially in marine organisms that are pH sensitive such as coral reefs and many invertebrates.
Terms matched with the right definitions.
1. An organism that can make its own food – Autotroph
2. A symbiotic relationship between two organisms in which one species benefits and no effect is apparent to the other species – Commensalism.
3. A cell that has a membrane-bound nucleus and/or organelles as its major characteristic -Eukaryote.
4. The study of organisms that are too small to be seen with the naked eye - Microbiology.
5. A disease-causing organism - A germ pathogen.
6. A one- or few-celled organism with chromosomes; may have characteristics of both animals and plants – Protist.
An autotroph is an organism that produces its own food from simple substances available in its environment. Autotrophs usually use inorganic chemical reactions or light energy in producing their food and are usually the producers in a food chain. Examples of autotrophs are plants and algae.
Commensalism is a type of relationship between organisms of two species where one organism benefits from the relationship and the other organism is not affected by it (neither benefits nor harmed).
