1.The trait is recessive. This means both your parents were carries, but did not show the trait. For example, B represents the allele, you're parents would have to both be Bb. This means that they are carriers, and you could have inherited either BB/Bb/bb - you actually inherited bb, which means because its a recessive trait you will show the trait. 

2. For your children, it depends on who you have them with. Because you're bb, you will definitely pass on the b allele, so any child you have would be a carrier and could potentially have the trait. If you have a child with someone BB, all your offspring will be Bb (carriers- as the kid gets one allele form each parent). If you have a child with someone who is bb, all your kids would definitely have the trait. However, if you have a child with someone who as Bb, then the four outcomes are Bb Bb bb bb, so there would be a 50% chance of your kid having the trait.



Hope this helps!! :)

Answer:

r-selected species (e.g., American bullfrog)

Explanation:

The r-selected species (r-strategists) are those species in which their populations oscillate near the carrying capacity, i.e., the maximum population size sustained by a particular environment. These species are generally located in low-quality (less competitive) ecological niches and produce many offsprings that grow rapidly and have low chances of surviving to adulthood. Some examples of r-strategists include amphibians, fish, small mammals, etc. Conversely, K-selected species have more stable populations and produce a low amount of offspring (e.g., large mammals such as elephants).

This is because UV radiation in sunlight can destroy the DNA by destroying the base pairing. UV light will cause two Thymine that are very closer to each other to join together to produce dimer. After which, The melanin-assisted process form lesions that is popularly called cylobutane pyrimidine dimers in DNA, which can result in mutations that cause melanoma which is a form of skin cancer
