The answer is D.
Thorns are an adaptation that some plants have evolved in order to discourage herbivore from eating the plant. Plants would try to survive when there are environmental pressures (herbivores eating them in this case) so they would evolve to have thorns.

It is not A because bigger leafs (more surface area for absorbing the sunlight) would help plants produce more food from photosynthesis, not thorns.
It's not B because it is an adaptation, not JUST mutation, but it did happen from changing some letters in the DNA sequence to evolve.
It's not C because thorns doesn't help conserve resources from getting used by others. The thorns of cactus decreases the loss of water from the sunlight because it is normally in the desert so it can survive, not protect resources.

Which genotype determines that a person does NOT have sickle-cell anemia, but has the potential to pass the genetic disease on t
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is C) AS</em>

Explanation:

Sickle cell anaemia is a recessive disorder in which the blood of the person is not able to clot properly. For sickle cell to occur, both the alleles for the trait have to be recessive. A person who has a dominant and a recessive allele will be heterozygous, showing the dominant characteristics. But such a person will be a carrier for the disease. There will be chances for the offsprings of that person to actually have the disease.
