<h2>The correct answer is explained below:</h2>

Explanation:

  • According to the given question,
  • For eye color, let the black color be represented by B allele and orange color be represented by b allele. Black is dominant over orange.
  • For skin color, let the green skin be represented by G allele and white skin be represented by g allele. Green is dominant over white.
  • The phenotype of Sam is black eyes and green skin so his genotype can be BBGG or BbGg. It is also said that one of his parents has phenotype orange eyes and white skin. That parent's genotype must be bbgg.
  • Hence, the genotype of Sam must be BbGg.
  • Carole has the phenotype of orange eyes and white skin. Her genotype would bbgg.
  • The gametes produced by Sam are: BG, Bg, bG, bg.
  • The gametes produced by Carole are: bg.
  • Mating them we get,

           BG                    Bg                   bG                       bg

bg      BbGg               Bbgg               bbGg                   bbgg

  (Black/ Green) (Black/ White) (Orange/Green)  (Orange/ White)

  • The genotypes and phenotypes (Eye color/ Skin color) obtained are represented above.
  • The phenotypes (Eye color/ Skin color) obtained are in the following ratio:

(Black/ Green) : (Black/ White) : (Orange/Green) : (Orange/ White) = 1 : 1 : 1 : 1

A milk snake looks similar to the deadly coral snake. This is an example of A) warning coloration adaptive radiation B) cryptic
Damm [24]
In this case, c) mimicry is the answer. In Batesian mimicry in which harmless animals mimic toxic animals. In this case, I assume the milk snake is harmless and the coral snake is venomous. Since the milk snake has a trait similar to deadly coral snake, less animals would eat it thinking it is dangerous. Over time all the milk snake that look like the deadly coral snake would survive leading to evolution by natural selection. This would lead to more and more milk snake mimicking the resemblance of the deadly coral snake.

a) The deadly coral snake has a warning color adaptive radiation. If the question had described the environment and how the snaked adapted to the environment via warning coloration. This would've been correct.

b) cryptic coloration is more about camouflage with the environment. If the question had state how a certain feature help one of the animals blend into the background. This would've been correct.

d) I'm not sure whats different between this and a so i'll consider them both the same.

What happens to excess carbohydrates in animals?
Neporo4naja [7]
<span>Excess carbohydrates in Animals are stored as fats. It mainly gets stored in the skeletal muscles and liver in the form of glycogen. Carbohydrates actually get stored in the form of long polymers of glucose molecules or as glycogen starch. They provide energy to the animals for performing their daily duties. Carbohydrates are generally considered the fuel for all organisms, and without this most animals would become sloth and would be unable to perform the regular jobs. Carbohydrates are actually very easy to metabolise and hence generate quick energy. </span>
