The best answer is B. Each year many tundra plants retain their dead leaves rather than shed them. The dead leaves insulate fragile new buds from the wind and cold. Grass tussocks are a good example of this. Many tundra plants also wear adaptive coats which are furry and waxy coatings on their leaves and stems. Fine hair or fuzz slows the wind, thus reducing drying and preserving heat. The waxy coating of many plants also help reduce water loss and evaporative cooling by the wind

A blue-eyed, left-handed woman marries a brown-eyed, right-handed man who is heterozygous for both of his traits. if blue eyes a

4 different phenotypes may be produced. If you write this down in a Punnet square you can get the exact ratio and the genotypes along with the phenotypes.

Let us assign B for brown eyes, b for blue eyes; H for right-handed, h for left-handed.
The mother's genotype will then be bbhh
The father's genotype will then be BbHh

bh bh bh bh
BH BbHh   BbHh BbHh   BbHh
Bh Bbhh Bbhh    Bbhh   Bbhh
bH bbHh bbHh    bbHh   bbHh
bh bbhh bbhh bbhh bbhh

Now based on that you can see that there are 4 possible genotypic combinations which would express different phenotypic combinations as well.

BbHh: Brown-eyed, right-handed
Bbhh: Brown-eyed, left-handed
bbHh: Blue-eyed, right handed
bbhh: Blue-eyed, left-handed

So again, there would be 4 possible phenotypes.

A victim with a foreign-body airway obstruction becomes unresponsive. what is your first course of action

Mrrafil [7]

The answer to this question would be: start doing CPR.

If the victim becomes unresponsive, probably the foreign body completely obstructs the airway and the oxygen level is already too low. Without the victim help, taking out the foreign body will be hard.
In this case, CPR will be the best option since the pressure from chest might push the foreign body away and the CPR can help circulate the blood.
