Answer:
The role a species plays in the ecosystem is called its niche. A habitat is the physical environment in which a species lives.

Hope that answers your question.
Selective permeability, made possible in cells by the phospholipid bilayer that makes up the plasma membrane, is basically monitoring and regulating what can and can't enter the cell. It is carried out by a series of membrane proteins that act as channels to polar molecules, opening to allow them in and closing to prevent their entry. This is possible because the hydrophobic tails of the phospholipid molecules repel polar molecules and so prevent their entry unless through a channel.
Autotrophs are organisms that produce complex organic compounds (fats, carbohydrates, proteins). Ex: planta, algae and some bacteria.
Heterotrophs are organisms that can’t produce their own foods (organic compounds) so they rely on eating other organisms (plants or animals) to obtain their energy. Ex: dogs, humans, cats, giraffes, ect.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Incomplete dominance is a phenomenon in genetic inheritance that occurs when the two alleles of a gene seem equally effective in their influence on a trait. It is a form of Intermediate dominance in which one allele for a specific trait does not completely mask the expression of its paired allele, as opposed to Mendel's law of dominance. Incomplete dominance results in a third phenotype different from the parent phenotypes but a combination of both.
In incomplete dominance, the intermediate/resulting phenotype is the heterozygous genotype.
Gregor Mendel discovered this concept of incomplete dominance in the flower of four o'clock plants when he crossed a purebred (homozygous) red-flowered (RR) with a purebred (homozygous) white-flowered plant (rr) to get F1 offsprings that are all heterozygous but have pink flowers (Rr). He later self-fertilized the F1 offsprings to produce a phenotypic ratio of 1:2:1 consisting of 1 red, 2 pinks, 1 white flower respectively.
This showed that the allele for red flower (R) is incompletely dominant over the allele for white flower (r), hence, producing an offspring with a different trait that arose from the blending of the two phenotypes.
Incomplete dominance is similar but different from co-dominance in the sense that, in co-dominance, both alleles/traits are expressed completely in the new phenotype produced while in incomplete dominance, the new phenotype is just a blending of the two phenotypes.
