The sharp, inch-long thorns of the crown-of-thorns sea star are its spines. These spines, unlike those of most other sea stars,

contain a potent toxin. If it were discovered that crown-of-thorns sea stars do not make this toxin themselves, then the most likely alternative would be that this toxin is _____.
A) derived from the nematocysts of its prey
B) absorbed from the surrounding seawater
C) an endotoxin of cellulose-digesting bacteria that inhabit the sea star's digestive glands
D) injected into individual thorns by mutualistic corals which live on the aboral surfaces of these sea stars

Answer:

The answer is A) derived from the nematocysts of its prey.

Explanation:

Sea stars mostly eat cnidarians (mollusks) which can contain a large number of nematocysts in their bodies. Therefore it would be possible that this toxin is absorbed from the prey.

Which allele for human blood type is recessive?
sergij07 [2.7K]

Blood type doesn't fall into the category of dominant/recessive genes exactly; rather it combines this with the properties of incomplete dominance. Ignoring the Rh factor, there are 3 alleles for blood type, I^a,I^b, and i. You will be type A if you have I^a I^a or I^a i and type B if you have I^b I^b or I^b i. You can also get type AB by having the combination I^a I^b or be type O if you have i i. If you need to use dominant/recessive, you can say the A and B allele are dominant over the O allele and codominant with one another.
