Answer:
The lithosphere is the solid, outer part of the Earth. The lithosphere includes the brittle upper portion of the mantle and the crust, the outermost layers of Earth's structure. It is bounded by the atmosphere above and the asthenosphere (another part of the upper mantle)
First, we will elaborate the terms that are being used.
Heterozygous:
This means that the organism has a set of alleles which are different from one another. One copy may be for the dominant trait and the other for the recessive one.
Homozygous:
The organism has two copies of the same allele
Dominant:
An allele that will express itself even if only one copy of it is present. These are usually represented by capital letters.
Recessive:
An allele that requires both copies to be expressed. These are usually represented by lower-case letters.
A: Heterozygous
B: homozygous recessive
C: Homozygous dominant
D: Homozygous recessive
E: Homozygous dominant
Polar because it always is below 32 degrees and has no rainfall
A specific animal is A. species
Explanation:
Classification systems function in order to organize a group of organisms into smaller groups according to some kind of logic. For example, the most used classifications system in biology is the phyllogenetic, which classifies living beings according to their evolutive affinity.
In the other hand, a dichotomous key is a "guide" used by biologists when they need to indentify an individual. It is organized in several steps regarding some key characteristics in order to guide you to which species/genus/family your individual belongs to. A dichotomous key never provides any kind of trustworthy phyllogenetic information, and should be understood only as a tool.
