The correction option is B.
DNA is the genetic material in living organisms and it is the basis for inheritance. DNA molecule is made up of nitrogenous bases, deoxyribose sugars and phosphate groups. In order for the genetic information in the DNA molecules to be preserved, the components of the DNA must be arranged in the correct order without any any error. Thus, for the nitrogenous bases inside the DNA molecule, they must be correctly paired with  one another.

Answer:

The genotype of the parents are not given. Let's try to answer this question generally. Let's assume the genotype of both parents to be Bb as genotype is not given.

Explanation:

       B        b

B    BB      Bb

b     Bb      bb

There is a 25% chance that the offspring will have BB genotype.

There is a 50% chance that the offspring will have Bb genotype.

There is a 25% chance that the offspring will have bb genotype.

There is a 75% chance that the offspring will have a dominant trait.

There is a 25% chance that the offspring will have recessive trait.

Phenotypic ratio will be 3:1

Explain how modern classification is different from linnaeus methods, and why scientists changed it
SCORPION-xisa [38]

The answer is that the criteria of classification change with the improved understanding of organisms around us. During the time of Aristotle, not much was known about the living organisms. So, he classified them as he observed. Plants were classified into herbs, shrubs and trees; very much like what’s taught to a second grade student. Animals as Enaima and Anaima based on the presence or absence of RBCs. After him, Carolus Linnaeus tried his hand over classification. He came up with the 2 kingdom classification: Plants and Animals. He considered only a set of morphological and physiological criteria to decide the kingdom to which an organism belongs. It includes presence of cell wall, mode of nutrition, contractile vacuole, locomotion and others. Based on these criteria, he included widely differing organisms into a single kingdom, for example, fungi, bacteria, algae, and higher plants were included into plant kingdom just because they have cell wall as a common aspect. Then came, Ernst Haeckel, who came with a third kingdom of Protista to include unicellular organisms. Copeland gave a 4 kingdom classification segregating unicellular organisms into 2 separate kingdoms based on their nuclear structure. R.H. Whittaker came next introducing the most accepted 5 kingdom classification system. You should understand one thing that man’s knowledge of classifying organisms improved with the improving technologies available to him, which he exploited to very effective extent. Carl Woese gave the 6 kingdom classification and 3 domain system based on the 16S rRNA sequence.

Our understanding of organisms around us is improving day by day and the system of classification will also change further in pace with the improvement in technology.

I hope this helps! :D]
