Answer:

The correct answer is "A single gene is responsible for pigmentation and hearing".

Explanation:

A gene that is pleiotropic affects the phenotype at different traits. One example of pleiotropic gene is found on cats, where a single gene is responsible for pigmentation and hearing. There is still no scientific consensus of how the gene affects the two traits, but there is evidence in mice that suggest that the gene that affects pigmentation affects the maintenance of fluids in ear canals.

Alexandra [31]

The third and last option is correct.


Species in the past (referring to dinosaurs) were more massive.

\bf~CO_{2} levels where higher in the past, which meant that plants prospered during that time since they had a easy access to food. That contributes to the fact that herbivores could grow bigger because there was more food. Which in turn, increases the size of early carnivores which eat bigger herbivores.




Hope it helped,


Happy homework/ study/ exam!
