Answer:

A. Uric acid

Explanation:

Most water is conserved in the body of an organism which excretes uric acid as urinary waste or in short we can say that least water is lost from the body of organisms which excrete uric acid. Based on the habitat and niche, body of various organisms are adapted to produce either ammonia, urea or uric acid as waste products. Among ammonia, urea and uric acid, <u>uric acid is least toxic and also requires very less water</u> in order to get excreted out of the body.

Birds spend most of the time in sky flying high, in such scenario they do not get enough excess to water because within sky there are no water resources so it is their utmost necessity to conserve water in the body. They get access to water resources only when they come back to land which is not a regular practice for them. This is the reason why birds excrete uric acid as nitrogenous waste product.

dybincka [34]

An individual inherits their mitochondrial DNA from their mother.

The little circular chromosome contained inside mitochondria is called mitochondrial DNA. These organelles are the heart of the cell and are present in all eukaryotic cells. The only way for mitochondria and their DNA to be transmitted from mother to child is through the egg cell.

Mitochondrial inheritance: The mitochondria in this particular type of inheritance have their own DNA. Only illnesses resulting from mutations in the mitochondrial DNA are solely passed down through mothers.

Because sperm contain few mitochondria and these break down after fertilization, an individual's mitochondrial DNA is solely acquired from the mother.
