Answer:

D

Explanation:

Proteins are not made of lipids chained together but rather of amino acids chained together. Lipids are made of fatty acid chains joined to various molecules - like glycerol and phosphate that make phospholipids -  Phospholipids make up the cell membrane of most cells. Fats are deposited under the dermis of the skin for insulation and this layer is thicker in animals that live in the cold regions. During starvation, these fats are taken from their reserves and broken down to provide energy for the body.

Koalas are marsupials that are found in eastern Australia. Although their ancestors lived mostly on the ground,
Andrew [12]

Answer:

Fur color that closely matches the eucalyptus bark color

Explanation:

In terms of evolving from land dwellers to tree dwellers, the number of offspring does not matter. Although the ability to run faster is a good evolution for escaping predators, it does not help the koalas evolve to be better tree dwellers (how would you run using only the trees?). Communicating with their peers would be convenient for survival, but it does not help koalas become better tree dwellers. What does help koalas survive better by traveling through the trees is camouflaging with the bark of the tree to hide from predators.

f a rabbit breeder crossed a white rabbit and a black rabbit in a complete dominance pattern, then all of the offspring would be
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

- Complete dominance: one allele masks the expression of the other gene variant or the phenotype is caused by the absence of gene function when both alleles are recessive.

- Incomplete dominance (codominance): both alleles are expressed and contribute to the phenotype

Explanation:

Complete dominance is a type of dominance by which one allele (dominant allele) completely masks the effects of another allele (recessive allele) in heterozygous individuals (i.e., individuals carrying two different gene variants or alleles). On the other hand, codominance refers to a type of incomplete dominance where both alleles in the genotype are observed in the phenotype. Complete dominance is caused when the recessive allele is not expressed, while if both alleles are expressed it is called incomplete dominance.
