Ruminant herbivores gain from the microflora in their gut through digestion of cellulose and in return, the microflora gets the nutrients from the ruminants. The shark doesn't benefit from the remora but the remora gets a free ride from the shark and it feeds on the leftovers from the shark's meal. The human host loses nutrients because the tapeworm gets to eat the food provided by the host. Cats provide shelter and food for the flea but the cat becomes anemic because of blood loss from its parasites.

A husband and wife both have cleft chins, and when you look at their four children, three also have cleft chins; however, one do
Reptile [31]

Answer:

B- A cleft chin is due to a dominant allele

Explanation:

A husband and wife both having the phenotype for cleft chin and producing an offspring without a cleft chin, indicates heterozygousity in their genotype.

With the heterozygous genotype however, they both expressed the phenotype for cleft chin, indicating that the allele for cleft chin is dominant over the allele coding for normal chin.

Since both parents are heterozygous for cleft lip, the  sequence of genotype in their offspring will be:

  • 25% chance of having homozygous cleft chin
  • 50% chance of having heterozygous cleft chin
  • 25% chance of having homozygous normal chin

Because of the dominance of the cleft chin allele, both homozygous and heterozygous forms of the cleft chin allele, will be expressed in the offspring and only the offspring homozygous for normal chin will not express this allele.
