Answer:

Cc

Explanation:

A cleft chin is an example of a trait that is controlled by genetics. A cleft chin is when there is a dimple in the chin which arises when the two sides of the jaw don’t completely fuse together. Famous people with cleft chins are Henry Cavill, John Travolta and Niall Horan.

A cleft chin is generally thought to be a dominant trait. That means, if an individual carries one copy of the cleft chin gene (heterozygous), then they will display the trait.

There are three options: an individual can be homozygous dominant (CC), homozygous recessive (cc) or heterozygous (Cc). A heterozygous person will always have 2 different alleles (for any trait, not just cleft chin). In this case, a heterozygous person will have a cleft chin, because it is dominant. Therefore, an heterozygous person with a cleft chin will be Cc

Remember, the letter doesn't matter - they could also be denoted as Bb, Qq, Rr, Ff. The letter is arbitrary.

Which sequence correctly depicts the development of offspring?
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

The correct answer would be zygote...blastocyst...embryo...fetus.

The fertilization of sperm and egg results in the formation of zygote. It receives genetic material from a male as well as a female parent.

It divides with the help of mitotic divisions and results in the formation of 2, 4, 8, and 16 celled stages.  

It results in the formation of the hollow spherical ball of cells termed as a blastocyst.  The cells are distributed to form the outer layer termed trophoblast and inner cell mass which gives rise to the embryo.

Trophoblast help in the implantation of the blastocyst into the uterine wall.

The cells of the embryo undergo organogenesis during different organs such as heart, brain, lungs et cetera are formed.

In humans, almost 9 weeks after the fertilization the developing embryo is considered a fetus.  

The fetus development continues until birth.

How does the movement of materials across the cell membrane relate to an<br> organism’s survival?
ioda

I believe it relates because as we know the cell membrane is permeable meaning that allows oxygen, carbohydrates, food to enter the cell but it doesn't allow the entrance of large molecules that harm the cells.

After all the movement around it, matters because for example without food the mitochondria won't be able to create the energy and then with that energy, the nucleus to use it to complete the main the activities of the cell.

Hopefully this what you meant when you asked the question. Have a nice day/evening
