<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.

What does it mean when someone gets “tubes put in their ears”? Where are they put? Why?
Neko [114]
I'll try to explain, because I've had tubes before.  In fact, I still have them.

For me, tubes were put in because of too many ear infections, and excessive water in my ear.  The tube helped drain the water out.  You can see A picture I have in a file.  The tubes can be put I believe in the ear drum.  They're put there to help drain water that has trouble getting out on its own.

How is a frog disected?
Stella [2.4K]
<span>Lay the frog on its back, spread out its limbs, and pin them to the tray. Use forceps to lift the skin between the hind legs and make a small incision with a scalpel. Continue the cut up the center of the frog's body with scissors, being careful to cut through the skin only. Use forceps to hold the skin away from the muscle while you cut, if necessary. Make horizontal incisions just above the legs and just below the arms, then fold the resulting flaps back and pin them. (You may need to use a scalpel to help separate the skin from the muscle underneath as you fold it back.)Repeat the incisions as before, this time cutting through the muscle layer to a point just below the arms. Lift the muscle with the forceps to prevent cutting the organs underneath.When you reach the area just below the arms, turn your scissors and make horizontal cuts through the hard sternum. Repeat the horizontal cuts just above the arms, and then remove the bony strips entirely. Pin the remaining muscle flaps back, just as with the skin.<span>Look into the body cavity. The yellow finger-like projections on the sides are the fat bodies. It may be necessary to remove some of these in order to see the organs clearly. Likewise, a female specimen may have well-developed eggs filling the body cavity and obscuring the organs. Remove them as necessary.</span></span>
