Answer:

The correct answer is "respiration".

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is the set of metabolic processes at which the cell obtains energy from nutrients and generates waste products. The cell needs an oxidizing agent in order to obtain energy from nutrients, the most widely used is oxygen. Cellular respiration is a vital process for most organisms, therefore, the depletion of oxygen in the self-contained ecological system most likely occurred from small microorganisms that performed this biological process.

beks73 [17]

Answer:

2) The alleles for heterozygous brown hair will be Bb

3) Let's make a punnet square to check for the outcomes:

       B          b

B   BB        Bb

B    BB       Bb

4) The results from the punnet square depict that the phenotype of all the children produced will be brown hair.

5) The punnet square depicts that there will be a 50% probability of the child to carry the heterozygous genome (Bb) and there is also 50% probability for the child to carry homozygous dominant genome (BB).

vagabundo [1.1K]
Even if a microorganism is a part of the normal microbiota of a human being, it may cause the death of the person. For example, say E. coli, it resides in intestines and is harmful. But, if its number increases way too large, it may cause infection (Colitis) and even death. So, even the normal microflora needs to be  present in the controlled quantities, inside the body.
