A recessive gene is simply a gene that is not EXPRESSED! Recessive and dominant do not have anything to do with how "common" they are.  Dominant just means it is expressed more often.

Recessive would be for example blue eyes or blonde hair.

Hope this helps!

Zolol [24]

Answer:

1. nutrient recycler

2. mutualist

4. parasite

Option C

Explanation:

Nutrient recycler: The bacterial decompose the dead plant and release the organic elements back to soil or air. The organic matter present in the dead plant parts is decomposed and the carbon is released into the air. Similarly, other nutrients stored in the dead plant are decomposed by the bacteria and are released into the environment so that they can enter the nutrient cycles.  

Mutualist: The bacteria living on the surface of leaf obtains nutrition from it. The plant is benefited by this association since the bacteria prevents the invasion of other pathogens in the plant. An ecological interaction wherein both the species are benefited is called mutualism.

Parasite: Once the bacteria enter the leaf, it causes disease to the plant. Here, the plant is the host while the bacteria is a parasite. The plant is harmed while bacterial obtains nutrition from the plant.

Which of the following intermediary metabolites enters the Krebs cycle and is formed, in part, by the removal of CO2 from a mole
asambeis [7]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-D.

Explanation:

Before Citric acid cycle or Krebs cycle, an intermediate reaction takes place which converts the pyruvate into Acetyl CoA. This reaction is known as pyruvate decarboxylation as it produces Carbon dioxide.  

Coenzyme A reacts with pyruvate which causes the release of two oxygen atoms and one carbon to form CO₂ along with the reduction of  NAD+ to NADH and produce "Acetyl CoA."

Thus,  option-D is the correct answer.
