The options are incomplete and have been listed incorrectly. Complete question has been attached.

Answer:

C) Dd and Dd

Explanation:

It is given that deafness is a recessive trait which means that Dr. Smith has genotype dd since a recessive trait can only be expressed when both the alleles in genotype are recessive. However, his parents are normal. So his parents can have DD or Dd genotype. Dr. Smith has obtained one recessive d allele from his father and other recessive d allele from his mother. Thus, the parents should have Dd genotype and the correct option is c.

Which of the broad categories of resource use account for a disproportionate (or the largest) amount of your ecological footprin
enot [183]

The total productive areas in which a population, a person, or a product competes are tallied as ecological footprint. It gauges the ecological resources needed by a particular population or product to produce the natural resources it consumes (such as plant-based food and fiber products, livestock and fish products, timber and other forest products, and space for urban infrastructure), as well as to absorb its waste, particularly carbon emissions.

<h3>What is ecological reserve/deficit?</h3>

An ecological deficit happens when a population's ecological footprint exceeds the biocapacity of the space that population has access to. If a country has a national ecological deficit, it is either importing biocapacity through commerce, selling off its ecological resources, or releasing carbon dioxide waste into the sky. When a region's biocapacity surpasses its population's ecological footprint, an ecological reserve is created.
