Vestigial structures are inherited from ancestors, but have lost much or all of their original function due to different selection pressures acting on the descendant. The hipbones of bottlenose dolphins are vestigial structures. However, as the dolphin lineage adapted to life at sea, this function was lost.

A large area undergoes the same amount of metamorphism. All rock reach the same metamorphism grade. However, after the metamorph
Mrrafil [7]

The only explanation in this situation is that the parent rocks of the marble and slate were different. This indicates that the region once held both shale and limestone before metamorphism.

In reference to rocks, it denotes those that have undergone metamorphism—rocks that may have started as sedimentary, igneous, or another type of metamorphic rock but has since undergone "recrystallization" and taken on an entirely new form—under new temperature and pressure conditions.

For instance, when limestone is heated and compressed, it changes into marble, a more coarsely crystalline and occasionally banded rock.

When shale, a clay-rich, soft rock, is compressed, slate, a tougher rock, is created.

The alterations are frequently even more remarkable, resulting in the formation of new minerals, including garnet, mica, and tourmaline (as seen in schist).

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

The correct answer is BB genotype and BO genotype.

Explanation:

The human blood system or ABO system shows codominance due to the multiple alleles. That means three different alleles for human blood type are present are IA, IB, and i. For easy understanding can be stated as A (for IA), B (for IB), and O (for i).

If someone has blood type B could have a genotype of either BB or BO because of the dominance of B allele on O where is If A allele present with B allele it would show co-dominance.

Thus, the correct answer is the BB genotype and BO genotype.
