As we can see in the pedigree, both of the parents do not possess the trait, but one of the four offspring (marked with red) is expressing the trait.
Since the trait is recessive, the only way that is possible that the parents who do not possess the trait to have the offspring with the trait is that the parents are heterozygous for the trait. Meaning that both of the parents have one dominant allele and one recessive allele.
<em>Lets take a look at all the choices:</em>
A) Energy utilization
All organisms require energy to survive. That question is out for sure!
B) Complex Yet Organized
All living organisms are complex, and if they weren't organized, well, they wouldn't exist or they would have some serious problems!
C) Capable of Self-Reproduction
Simple: Not all organisms are able to reproduce asexually, for example, humans. We do not reproduce asexually. Therefore it is not a characteristic of <u>ALL</u> living organisms
D) Composed of Multiple Cells
No-brainer! All living organisms are composed of multiple cells!!!!!!!!!!!!
Therefore, the answer is C) Capable of Self-Reproduction
Answer:

Bird droppings that contain seeds from a different location" is the correct answer. Sometimes when seeds from different areas are ingested, the genetic material is passed on.
Answer:
Apoptosis also plays a key role in human development. For instance, as we saw in the introduction, your hand started out as a paddle-like block of tissue when you were an embryo. The block was “carved” into fingers by apoptosis of the cells in between the developing fingers.
