the correct answer is B) common ancestry

The answer is common ancestor.

Since these two organisms are adapted to different environments and still have structural similarities, that means that they must have a common ancestor. Common ancestor is an ancestral organism that two or more descendant lineages have in common.

Read "What Emissions and Byproducts Are Produced from Burning Coal?" Why is the presence of mercury in water of great concern to
Degger [83]

1 - The most common emission and byproducts that are generated by burning coal are carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides and dioxides and CCPs in genearl (coal combustion products).


2 - Mercury is a heavy liquid metal with some toxical properties. When ingested (most commonly trough water) can be fatal [for further info search Mercury Poisoning]. Something I should also point out is that most of the contaminated water sources are residual waters.

The days are getting shorter and the temperature is dropping. The squirrel responds to these cues by A) migrating. B) hibernatin
Liono4ka [1.6K]
The correct answer is D) gathering food.

<span>Caching or hoarding food, is a behavior characteristic for squirrels during winter. They usually do this by putting their food in a shallow hole which will serve as food when resources are scarce in winter. Also, squirrels maximize their food consumption and body mass making the reserves that will help the animals survive.</span>

In humans, the ABO blood type is under the control of autosomal multiple alleles.
tamaranim1 [39]
Ok, colour blindness and blood type are independently assorting traits, that means that having one does not affect having the other, the question even tells you that the traits are on different chromosomes. 

<span>To answer your question we'll have to calculate the probability of both traits in the child and then multiply them together to get the overall probability of both being present in the child. </span>

<span>Let's start with blood type: there are four types of blood type: AB, A, B and O. Blood type is determined by what protein each chromosome codes for: so if one chromosome is I^A and codes for A type protein, while the other is I^B and codes for B type protein, then the overall blood type will be AB. O blood type is recessive, it doesn't code for any protein at all and is given the symbol i. </span>

<span>Since both parents are type A and their first child is type O, you know that both parents are heterozygous for blood type A, meaning that one chromosome they have is I^A and the other is type or or i. For a child to be blood type O, each parent has to give their type O chromosome to the child. There is a 1/2 chance that one parent will give the recessive O chromosome, so for both parents to give their recessive allele the probability is 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4 </span>

<span>Colour blindness is an X-linked condition, that means that women can be carriers but not manifest the colour blindness because they have one "good" X chromosome which masks the recessive colourblindness gene on the other X. The father cannot have a colourblindness gene or else he'd be colourblind himself, since he's only got 1 X-chromosome. Because dad has healthy eyesight, any girls he has will have healthy eyesight too, since his X will always be healthy and mask the X from mom if she happens to give the recessive colourblind gene. So the probability that the girl will have normal vision is 1/1. </span>

<span>However, it is not a given that the baby born will be a girl, there's a 50/50 chance that it'll be one or the other sex, so we need to consider the probability involved with the child being a girl. this probability is 1/2. </span>

<span>So now we multiply all our probabilities together to calculate what the chances of a normal visioned, type O blood typed girl is: </span>

<span>Normal vision (1) * blood type O (1/4) * girl baby (1/2) = 1/8 </span>

<span>So your probability is 1/8! </span>

<span>Hope this helps :)</span>
