Answer:

C. Aa and aa

Explanation:

The question tell us that shaded symbols represent individuals who express a dominant trait (or phenotype). This means that symbols that are not shaded represent individuals who express a recessive trait (or phenotype).

A dominant allele (A in this case) will always mask a recessive allele (a in this case) when present and be shown in the organism's phenotype. Therefore genotypes AA and Aa, which both contain the dominant allele A, will both result in dominant phenotypes, while the genotype aa will result in a recessive one due to the absence of a dominant A allele.

Looking at the pedigree chart we can see that individual 1 has a dominant phenotype, and individual 2, a recessive phenotype. Since the only way for an organism to have a recessive phenotype is to only have recessive alleles, organism 2 must have genotype aa. Similarly organism 1 must have at least one dominant A allele, therefore C is the correct answer.

Hope this helped!

Sophie [7]

Answer:

C.  Cnidarian tentacles have stinging cells, but Bryozoan tentacles are covered with cilia.

Explanation:

Cnidaria and Bryozoan, both teh phylum are classified under kingdom Animalia that contain aquatic animals found both in freshwater and marine environments.

They both use tentacles for feeding but there is diffference between there tentacles and feeding process.

Cnidarians tentacles are conist of stinging cells in the tips, which are called cnidocytes and a coiled thread-like stinger, called nematocyst. These stinging cells and nematocyst helps to capture and subdue prey. They feed over plankton or animals larger then them.

Bryozoan tentacles are covered with cilia and form an "O" or "U" shaped fold called lophophore, which helps to feed by sweeping the surrounding water. They generally feed on plankton, nudibranchs (sea slugs) and sea spiders.

Hence, the correct option is C.
