<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.

In which process is lactic acid formed when there is not enough oxygen present for cellular respiration to take place?
Olenka [21]
Anaerobic respiration.
<span>Anaerobic respiration is a type of cellular respiration BUT does not use oxygen (O2). It is used when there is not enough O2 for aerobic respiration.
</span><span>It can be summarised by the equation: glucose → lactic acid (+ energy released). However, it releases less energy than aerobic repspiration due to a lack of oxygen resulting in an INCOMPLETE breakdown of glucose.
