Complete question:

A female is born with attached earlobes, which is a recessive phenotype. Which of the following statements about her parents must be true?

a. neither has the codominant allele.

b. Her father has an inactivated allele.

c. Both parents have the recessive allele.

d. Her mother carries the dominant allele.

Answer:

c. Both parents have the recessive allele.

Explanation:

A recessive trait is expressed in homozygous recessive genotypes only. If a female expresses the attached earlobe phenotype, she should be homozygous for the allele since the attached earlobe is a recessive trait. If allele "a" gives attached earlobe phenotype in homozygous genotype, the genotype of the female would be "aa". This means that the female has got one copy of the allele "a" from her either parents. Therefore, both her parents should have at least one copy of the recessive allele "a".

What is the difference between plankton, nekton and benthos?
Archy [21]
<span>The common difference between the three organisms is the area in which they specifically live or stay in the ocean. Planktons can’t be seen by the naked eye and they require microscopes to be detected. Planktons usually float in the water and they cannot move on their own that’s why they are dependent in the movement of the water.

Nektons are organisms that swim through the water and they live in different depths in the ocean ecosystem. Nektons are composed of fish and other mammals that propel themselves through the water.

Benthos are organisms that live in the ocean floor and many of these organisms stay in one place by attaching themselves to rocks. This adaptation protects them from crashing waves and drastic water movements. Other benthos are known to burrow in the ocean floor either for food or protection.</span>

A fungal ________ is light enough to be carried for miles in the wind, dispersing the fungus to new areas.
disa [49]

Answer:

Spore

Explanation:

Most of the fungal species reproduce through spores. Spores are the reproductive structures of fungi that help in the survival of fungal species under unfavorable conditions and their dispersal to new habitats. Fungal spores are very light in weight and are dispersed with wind currents.

For example, ascospores are the sexual spores produced by fungal species of the group ascomycetes and are carried with the wind.
