Answer:
Half of the Moon's surface is always illuminated by direct sunlight, except during lunar eclipses when Earth casts its shadow on the Moon. Just how much of that light we can see from Earth varies every day, and we refer to this as a Moon phase.
Orbits: Earth

Answer:
D) Each parent contributes one allele for this trait
Explanation:
All traits of individuals are determined by specific genes of that trait. For example, there is a certain gene for height, certain gene for eye color, face shape etc.
Genes are the units of hereditary, and for every trait there is one gene in every organism. However, one gene is present in two alternative forms called alleles in an organism. For example: There is a trait height, a person has two alleles for the height gene, one allele is for short height, and other allele is for tall height. The trait of tallness is dominant over the trait of shortness, Therefore, this person will have tall height.
Now the alleles are transmitted from parents to offspring. Every parent contributes one allele for a specific trait, in the process and transmit it to offspring.
The allele which will be dominant will be expressed while the one that is recessive will e suppressed.
Therefore, option D is the right answer.

Answer:
Dark colored moth
Explanation:
Moths either dark or light live on the bark of the trees. During industrial revolution in England, excessive pollution caused the darkening of bark of trees. Due to this environmental change, some of the light colored moths evolved and turned into dark colored moths. Both bark and moth being dark in color, made the moths untraceable by their predators. While the light colored moths on dark trees were easily recognizable by their predators.
Hence, the dark colored moths possess high fitness.
If one parent has been affected by sickle cell anemia, while the other parent does not and is homozygous, the chances that a child will have this disorder is 0%. Thus, the correct option is C.
<h3>What is Sickle Cell anemia?</h3>
Sickle Cell anemia may be defined as a genetic disorder that is caused by a recessive allele. It is an inherited disease in which the red blood cells have an irregular crescent shape, obstruct small blood vessels, etc.
This disease is inherited when both genes of each parent are supposed to be defective or carriers. While in this case, only parents are affected by the disorder while the other is homozygous for the normal allele.
In this condition, all the offspring produced by both parents remain as carriers but not affected ones.
Thus, the correct option is C.
