Entropy means that system naturally progress from order to disorder. Entropy measures the level of this disorder or messiness. We can measure increase or decrease of entropy, for example by answering the question 'How a human being can avoid decay?' or by being concentrated on WHY the system is more organized and why it tends to grow.

Explanation:
The problem says that the hairless phenotype never breeds true. That means that it's not the result of a homozygous genotype (H₁H₁ or H₂H₂), so it is caused by the heterozygous genotype (H₁H₂).
The <u>expected </u>offspring from the cross between two Mexican hairless would be:
<h3>P
H₁H₂ x
H₁H₂</h3><h3>F1 1/4
H₁H₁, 2/4
H₁H₂ and 1/4
H₂H₂.</h3>
And the <u>expected</u> phenotypic ratio 3:1. However, the observed offspring shows a 2:1 ratio. What's happening?
If the observed phenotypic ratio in the offspring of a monohybrid cross (a single gene with two alleles) is 2:1, we can suspect that one of the genotypes is lethal in homozygosis and therefore does not appear in the progeny (the puppies are born dead).
If we proposed that the H₂ allele is lethal in homozygosis, then:
- The H₁H₁ genotype would cause normal puppies --> 1
- The H₁H₂ genotype would cause hairless puppies --> 2
- The H₂H₂ is lethal and causes the death of puppies --> 0
The phenotypic ratios change to 2:1, as observed in the experiment.
because the total time for restoration is lengthy, peat can be considered a fossil fuel. The correct option is B.
<h3>What exactly are fossil fuels?</h3>
Fossil fuels are fuels derived from the remains of dead plants and animals that decomposed over time under intense heat and pressure.
Because their replenishment time is longer than a human lifetime, fossil fuels are non-renewable energy sources.
Some examples of fossil fuels are petroleum, coal, etc.
The missing options of the question are:
- peat is a fossil fuel because rewetting it takes only 3-5 years.
- peat is a fossil fuel because the total time for restoration is lengthy.
- peat is not a fossil fuel because it has biologic origins, making it a biofuel.
- peat is not a fossil fuel because humans can promote the replenishment of peat.
The restoration process of peat takes a long time of more than 100 years. As a result, because the total time for restoration is lengthy, peat can be considered a fossil fuel.
Thus, the correct option is B.
