The correct answer is (c) The offspring will inherit neither the genotype nor the phenotype change.

Mutation is a slight change in the genetic material of cell.The mutation that is carried from one generation to other is to be in the germ cell. The mutation that occurs in the body cell is not inherited to another generation. The mutation that occurs in a body cell might change the phenotype of the person  but is not transferred to another generation. The conclusion is that the offspring will not have any change in the phenotype and genotype of the body.

George works in an air conditioner manufacturing company. Which pollutant is likely to be produced from air conditioning?
Alexus [3.1K]

The right option is A. hydrofluorocarbons

Hydrofluorocarbons are  pollutants that are likely to be produced from air conditioning.

Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) are synthetic fluorinated strong greenhouse gases that are strongly accumulating in the atmosphere. Hydrofluorocarbons are mainly used as refrigerants. Hydrofluorocarbons are used to replace ozone depleting substances such as chlorofluorocarbons and hydrochlorofluorocarbons which are being phased out in air conditioning, refrigeration, foam blowing agents, and solvents. Hydrofluorocarbons are responsible for about 20% of climate pollution by 2050

The bones in the wings of birds and bats are _______ because they derived from a _______ ancestor, while the wings are _______ t
dolphi86 [110]
The answer is: homologous; common; homoplastic.

<span>The bones in the wings of birds and bats are <u>homologous</u> because they derived from a <u>common</u> ancestor, while the wings are <u>homoplastic</u> traits. Homologous structures are similar structures shared by different groups and that are derived from a common ancestor. The similar anatomy of bones in the wings of birds and bats is inherited from a common ancestor of tetrapods (to which birds and bats belong). However, wings are not inherited from the common ancestor of birds and bats. Therefore, wins are homoplastic traits (analogous structures) because they have similar function but they are not inherited from the common ancentor.</span>
