Answer:

a. blue and featherless

Explanation:

  • Feathers (F) are dominant to no feathers (f)
  • Blue body (B) is dominant to white body (b)

If we testcross a dihybrid, we are crossing a homozygous recessive individual with a heterozygous individual.

Recombination is a rare event in meiosis, so the more abundant offspring are always the parentals, and the less abundant offspring are the recombinant ones.

In this case, bf/bf and BF/bf are the parentals and Bf/bf and bF/bf are the recombinants.

The option a. Blue and featherless (Bf/bf) offspring are the recombinant babies.

What are the evolutionary advantages of organisms that can photosynthesize?
AlladinOne [14]
<span>These organisms obtain energy and carbon from the physical environment and use it to produce their food. They make sugars and other compounds using sunlight as a source of energy and carbon dioxide as a carbon source. The evolutionary advantages for these organisms are the periodic renewal of atmospheric O2 for all living beings. The production of organic matter and food webs of any ecosystem. Without them, there is an extinction of all living organisms due to the non-renewal of atmospheric O2 and the excessive accumulation of CO2 in the atmosphere.</span>

Which of the following is a true statement? a. Mammals were the prominent species just before the extinction of dinosaurs. b. Ma
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

Option A is wrong. Mammals were not the prominent species before the extinction of dinosaurs because the mammal species that lived during the dinosaurs' era were so small that they only weighed several grams and occupied small areas as their habitats.

Option C is wrong. As dinosaurs became extinct, reptiles and "birds" remained as their descendant which evolved to some of the species that we know today.

Option D is wrong. Pangea started to break up to form the geographic isolation for the diversion of many species around 175 million years ago.

So the correct answer is B. Massive extinction disrupts and changes the food chain in such a big way that it triggers a domino effect that leads to species adapting to their new environment and diversifying thus forming new species in the process.

I hope this answer helps.

Which scenario describes a nonrenewable resources being used for energy?
Gwar [14]

Answer:

The most appropriate answer would be option C.

Nonrenewable resources are the natural resources which are present in a limited amount on the planet.

It is because the rate of their utilization is way too faster than the rate of their formation in nature.

Examples may include coal, gas, petroleum et ctera.

Gas stove utilizes the energy of liquified petroleum gas to heat or cook the food which is a nonrenewable resource.
