<h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct answer is option C which is inbreeding.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • The genetic disease is due to the homozygous recessive alleles in genotype.
  • This happens due to the inbreeding which is the process of breeding of interrelated or closely related species.
  • Due to which the some alleles reappear in generations, with chances of one genotype is increased.
  • In this situation, the genotype of two recessive alleles appear due to inbreeding.

The answer is C. inbreeding

İnbreeding results in homozygosity, which can increase the risk of the koalas being affected by the genetic disorder.

How is a recessive allele different from a dominant allele?
professor190 [17]

Answer: 1) Recessive allele is unable to express its effect in the presence of dominant allele WHILE a dominant allele is able to express itself even in the presence of its recessive allele.

2) Recessive allele produces its phenotypic effect only in the presence of a similar allele. E.g; tt is dwarf. WHILE a dominant allele does not require another similar allele to produce its effect on the phenotype. E.g; Tt is tall.

3) Recessive allele forms a defective polypeptide or enzyme so that the expression consists of absence of the effect of dominant allele. E.g; white flower colour in Pea. WHILE a dominant allele can form a complete polypeptide or enzyme for expressing its effects. E.g; red colour of flower in Pea.

With which pair would you see the biggest differences in the microbiota: your cheek
Nimfa-mama [501]

The biggest difference in the microbiota can be seen in : ( B ) your cheek versus your friend’s cheek.

<h3>What is Microbiota </h3>

Microbiota is the microorganisms present in specific region or area and It protects the region from harmful indigenous microorganisms as well. The microbiota specie that is present in an individual varies greatly from the microbiota species present in a different individual.

Therefore the Microbiota species present in your cheek will vary greatly from the microbiota species present in your friend's cheek.

Hence we can conclude that The biggest difference in the microbiota can be seen in  your cheek versus your friend’s cheek.

Make a decision about the molecule NaHCO3 classification organic or inorganic
motikmotik

<u>Answer:</u>

NaHCO_{3} is an inorganic compound.

<u>Solution:</u>

  1. Firstly, all the known definitions of organic compounds excludes Carbonic acid and it's salt from organic compounds except if 'C' is present in the cation.  
  2. Secondly, Sodium is a metal which organic compounds cannot posses as a compound.  
  3. Lastly, there is absence of C-H bond which is present in all the organic compounds.

Hence, we can conclude that NaHCO_{3}is an inorganic compound though there is presence of Carbon atom in it.
