D. The energy is used by organisms for life functions or is lost as heat.
Explanation:
The first statement above is an example of incomplete dominance. If
the calf has black and white spots then that’s an example of codominance.
Incomplete dominance is a form of transitional
inheritance in which one allele for an explicit trait is not entirely expressed
over its paired allele. This effects in a third phenotype in which the
expressed physical trait is a mixture of the phenotypes of both alleles.
Codominance<span> is a form of dominance by which the alleles of a gene
pair in a heterozygote are wholly expressed. This effects in offspring with a
phenotype that is neither dominant or recessive. A usual example showing this type of dominance is
the ABO blood group system.</span>

These are known as Hormones. Hormones are chemical messengers that are released in one tissue normally endocrine glands for example, adrenal glands, pituitary glands, and transported in the blood stream to alter the activities of specific cells in other tissues. Hormones serves as messengers, controlling and coordinating activities or processes such as growth, metabolism and fertility in the body.
