The question is incomplete. The complete question is:
Question: Why do organisms without oxygen need to convert pyruvate to lactate?
A) because pyruvate is toxic to the cells
B) in order to regenerate NAD+
C) in order to use lactate in the citric acid cycle
D) because lactate is needed to produce ATP
Answer:
B) in order to regenerate NAD+
Explanation:
Kreb's cycle and electron transport chain (ETC) are the aerobic stages of cellular respiration. ETC regenerates NAD+ and FAD+ by oxidation of NADH and FADH2 produced during glycolysis and Kreb's cycle. Here, oxygen serves as the terminal electron acceptor.
Glycolytic reactions use NAD+ as an electron acceptor and produce NADH. Therefore, a constant supply of NAD+ is required to sustain glycolysis. In absence of oxygen, ETC cannot occur and organisms convert pyruvate into lactate. Pyruvate is reduced in lactate and NADH serves as the electron donor. Thereby, lactate fermentation regenerates NAD+ to continue the process of glycolysis.

The genotype of the offsprings would be Cc, Cc, cc, cc i.e heterozygous cleft chin and no cleft chin. The phenotype of the offsprings could be 50% cleft chin and 50% without cleft chin.
there will be 50% chance of the child to have cleft chin.

A Aa Aa
a Aa aa
There will be 25% chance for the offspring to have arched feet. As arched feet is a recessive trait, so for this trait to occur both the alleles of the gene should be recessive i.e aa.
Answer No 4:
B b
b Bb bb
b Bb bb
As blonde is a recessive trait, so both the alleles for this gene should be recessive for this trait to occur. Hence, according to the punnet square, there will be 50% chance for the offspring to be blonde.
Answer No 5:
F f
F FF Ff
f Ff ff
As normal vision is a resessive trait, hence both the alleles of the gene should be recessive for the trait to occur. According to the punnet square, there is 25% chance that the child will have normal vision.
Answer:
Volcanoes are created over approximately 10,000-500,000 years by thousands of eruptions -- each lava flow covering the one before it. In the case of oceanic island volcanoes, lava erupts first from fissures, or cracks, on the deep ocean floor. The flows continue to build up and finally an island emerges from the sea.

Is there more to this problem?
Explanation:
Biological hazards include microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, yeasts, molds and parasites. Some of these are pathogens or may produce toxins. A pathogenic microorganism causes disease and can vary in the degree of severity
