Answer: : Is the main transporter of heat in the ocean

Explanation:

Oceans have warm salty water on the surface and cold less salty water in the depth and these two regions don’t mix. The ocean currents are mostly driven by winds on the surface. The water at the depth does not get influenced by surface winds but the main driving force is the density differences due to temperature and salt contents. The dense salty waters sink to the bottom while the less salty water floats.  

The large scale ocean circulation due to density gradients and freshwater fluxes is thermohaline circulation. The water currents from the Atlantic ocean travels towards the Poles by the wind currents that gets cooled on route and sinks at high latitudes. Due to this, the water is dense and flows into the ocean basin. It transports energy and matter around the globe. This impacts the climate of earth.

On the basis of the above explanation is:  

The thermohaline circulation belt-  is the main transporter of heat in the ocean

Suppose that a dominant allele (P) codes for a polka-dot tail and a recessive allele (p) codes for a solid colored tail. In addi
Art [367]
Heterozygous is when an individual has two different alleles at any location. In this example, each parent will have Pp for tail type and Ll for eyelash length.
The punnet square for couple will look like this
  
            PL           Pl           pL         pl

PL      PPLL      PPLl       PpLL      PpLl     

Pl       PPLl       PPll         PpLl       Ppll

pL      PpLL      PpLl         ppLL      ppLl

pl       PpLl       Ppll           ppLl       ppll

Of the sixteen genotypes listed, the following phenotypes will result

Polka dot tail with long eyelashes     9
Polka dot tail with short eyelashes    3
Solid tail with long eyelashes            3
Solid tail with short eyelashes           1

I want to say the answer is (C), but it looks like there might have been an error in the question where it says 3 solid tails, short eyelashes and then 1 solid tail with short eyelashes
