Answer:

D)the sexually reproducing species

Explanation:

  • Sexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction in which two parents are required to generate an offspring.
  • As this mode of reproduction requires two parents, the genetic composition of the offspring is a mixture of both the parents and hence, sexual reproduction gives rise to genetic variation.
  • Genetic variation is essential to survive in a changing environment as it can lead to the development of certain characters that prove to be essential for survival.
  • Therefore, if there are 25 different species of protists in the tide pool, it is the sexually reproducing species that will be able to thrive in the changing environment as their offsprings will have genetic variation and this may lead to a positive natural selection.

I think it's option four because as far as I know, red/green color blindness is an example of a recessive, sex-linked trait (encoded on the X chromosome), which results in much more men to suffer from it than women.

Hope that helps!

Pepsi [2]

Answer & Explanation:

Feedback is a form of regulation where the main product of one reaction, can also inhibit it. It can work in several ways, mainly there's a receptor that, somehow, measures the presence of a determined molecule, in this case, ATP. These receptors can also be involved in the metabolic process and when there's an excess of ATP, the enzymes are inhibited, maybe with an allosteric type of inhibition.
