A ____ is the underlying combination of genetic material present (but outwardly invisible) in an organism.
Alex

Answer:

D (Genotype)

Explanation:

A genotype is the genetic make up of an organism i.e. what the genetic material

of an organism constitutes. Genotype describes the set of genes contained in an organism's genome. According to Mendel, an organism receives two forms of genes called ALLELE for a trait, one from each parent. The genotype of a specific gene coding for a trait is represented by each pair of allele for that trait.

Although the genotype of an organism is outwardly invisible i.e. cannot be seen, but it determines the phenotype of that organism i.e. the outward appearance. For example, if a plant receives T and T alleles coding for tallness, from each parent. The genotype of that plant for the specific height trait will be (TT). Hence, the TT genotype although invisible but controls the tallness of the plant.

Urgent!!!!! How can a mutation benefit an organism and its descendants? Provide an example.
Mashcka [7]
A mutation can allow a organism to adapt to the environment and example can be the case of the peppered moth which has two variations a white colored one and a black colored one. The white colored ones were able to survive better that the darker ones because of how they were able to camouflage with the lichen located in the trees. However, after a while smoke particles that were released by industries darkened the trunk of the trees making the white moths visible and allowing the darker colored ones to survive. Another example can be on how organism can be resistant to bacteria this allows the animal to survive and reproduce offspring with the same mutation. I hope this helps...

Give me examples of a primary producer secondary producer and decomposers
Natasha_Volkova [10]
Primary producers are usually the start of a food web. They make their own energy by converting carbon dioxide sunlight and water into food. Then a secondary producer would be the second part of the food web. They usually are herbivores so they only eat plants, which would be the primary producer. Next, is decomposers, decomposers are organisms break down what’s left of dead or decaying organisms like animals and plants. Hope this helped have a great day :-)
