<h2>Cyanobacteria </h2>

Explanation:

Simple cyanobacteria (single-celled organisms that can produce oxygen through photosynthesis) played a key role in providing Earth’s atmosphere and oceans with oxygen

Cyanobacteria or the blue green algae are the only bacteria that contain chlorophyll A, a chemical required for oxygenic photosynthesis, the process which uses carbon dioxide, water and sunlight to produce oxygen and glucose (sugars) for energy

In this process chlorophyll A helps in capturing the energy from sunlight

In addition to chlorophyll A, blue-green algae also contain the pigments phycoerythrin and phycocyanin, which give the bacteria their bluish tint    

All the above characteristics of cyanobacteria can be used as a source of renewable energy by converting sunlight into electricity

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

The correct option is C. Rare alleles tend to remain rare even when they are dominant.The distribution of a gene among individuals is determined by mating and environmental factors.

Explanation:

Most people believe that a rare allele would only be recessive. But this is not correct. A rare allele can be dominant. The frequency of an allele to occur in a population will depend on the environmental factors. The alleles which code for traits that are best suitable for living in an environment will be seen in more abundance. The frequency of an allele to occur in a population also depends on the breeding trends of the population.

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Ice-covered surfaces are highly reflective of the sun's rays therefore prevent those areas from warming as much as the areas where the ice is replaced with darker, less reflective surfaces which absorb heat and thus contribute more to global warming. Albedo is the percentage of radiation reflected by the earth's surface. Clear surfaces have greater albedo values than dark surfaces.
