The anser is C. recessive located on the X chromosome.
By starch, I'm assuming you mean glycogen, or animal starch.
Similarities:
Both are polysaccharide molecules made from glucose molecules linked together in a long chain.
Both are storehouses of energy.
Differences:
Glycogen is made in animal cells and is the only form of starch animals can digest (unless they have certain microbes in their intestinal tracts to break down cellulose, which all herbivores need).
Cellulose is made in plant cells.
The bonds are a bit different; the molecules are isomers. Glycogen bonds with what is called an alpha 1,4 bond, meaning that the first carbon of one glucose molecule is bonded to the 4th carbon of the next glucose molecule, but in a way that puts the bonds in a shape that falls below the plane of the molecule, and allows branching.
Cellulose bonds with beta 1,4 bonds. The first and fourth carbons of adjoining glucose molecules are still connected, but the shape of the bond falls above the plane of the molecule and does not branch.
Since enzymes are specific to their substrates, the enzymes shaped to fit glycogen bonds do not fit on cellulose bonds, which is why animals cannot digest cellulose on their own. In herbivores, there are microbes in their digestive tracts which can produce enzymes to break these bonds so the glucose can be used. In carnivores and omnivores like humans, there is no enzyme to break down cellulose so it becomes 'roughage' in our diets. It passes through the digestive tract without being broken down.
ATP or the Adenosine Triphosphate is referred to as the basic energy unit of the body. In the case of doing an exercise, what happens is that, the more someone increases his or her activity, the more energy is required and the body should compensate for this need. Therefore, the answer for this would be option D.
<span> One pair of sex chromosomes and 22 pairs of autosomes
that should be right. please let me know if it is

Answer:
<em>The correct option is C) A mouse and a human have about the same number of genes.</em>
Explanation:
The technique of genetic sequencing has enable us to learn and compare thee genomes of different organisms. Genome sequencing proves that the genome of the humans and mice are about 99 percent similar. The number of genes in the mouse genome and the genome of humans is almost equal.
Other options, like option A, cannot be true because many complex organisms have fewer chromosomes than other organisms. For example, there are many simple plants which have more number of chromosomes than the complex humans.
