Answer:

B

Explanation:

According to Mendel, an organism receives two forms of a gene from each parent. This form received by each parent is called an ALLELE. An allele is the variant form of a gene for a particular trait.

For a diploid organism, two copies of genes (alleles) are acquired by an organism. The combination of these alleles from each parent determines the genotype for that gene.

In Mendel's experiments, he discovered that one allele can mask the expression of another for a trait. He called the allele that masks DOMINANT allele while the allele that is masked RECESSIVE allele. The combination of these alleles, whether two dominant or two recessive called HOMOZYGOUS or one dominant and one recessive called HETEROZYGOUS, determines the phenotype of the organism for that gene.

N.B: There are exceptions to this pattern of inheritance.

Energy is decreasing by 500 because some of it is turned into heat energy.

Explanation:

when an animal/creature consumes another living thing and or something that has energy it is decrease to a certain amount because some of the energy that the original animal/creature had is turned into heat energy because they use some of the energy for themselves to survive and live.

For example:

A flower is a producer because it produces energy and gets it gets eaten by a deer and some energy gets changed to heat and the other is consumed by the consumer (the deer) and so on.
