A mushroom gains its energy by decomposing the tissues of dead organisms. Should mushrooms be classified as autotrophs, heterotr

ophs, in both groups, or in neither group, and for what reason?
They are heterotrophs because their food is made by other organisms.

They are autotrophs because decomposition is very similar to photosynthesis.

They are both autotrophs and heterotrophs, because they may grow in sunlight or darkness.

They are autotrophs because they do not eat their food, as animals do.

Answer:

They are heterotrophs because their food is made by other organisms.

Explanation:

Unless the organism can create their food independently via photosynthesis or chemosynthesis, they must get their food from elswehere.

In the case of mushrooms, they are scavengers/decomposers, meaning they consume energy from once living organisms, thus classifying them as heterotrophs.

Have a nice day!

morpeh [17]
There is a 50% probability that the child will be a boy. If this is the case, he will inherit the X chromosome from his mother and the Y chromosome from his father. Since the woman has DMD, the boy will certainly inherit the disease, since he only has one X chromosome and it carries the disease. We know that both of the mother's X chromosomes carry the disease because since it is recessive, both of her chromosomes must have it in order for her to have it. 

There is also a 50% probability that the child is girl. If this is the case, she will inherit a normal X chromosome from her father and the disease-carrying X chromosome from her mother. Since the disease is recessive, she will not be affected by the disease, since she has one healthy X chromosome and one disease-carrying one. 

If the child is a girl, there is a 0% chance that she will have the disease (although she will be a carrier). 

If the child is a boy, there is a 100% chance that he will inherit the disease.

Which is a common characteristic of extrusive igneous rock?
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

Extrusive igneous rock is formed by the crystallization of magma release after volcanic eruption at the Earth surface. They are characterized by fine grained textures because of rapid cooling they do not form large crystals. Extrusive rocks  with fine grained textures are called aphanitic rocks. The most common extrusive igneous rock is basalt. Other examples include rhyolite, andesite and obsidian. Extrusive igneous rocks erupt quickly and they form small crystals. Some of these rocks cools slowly that they form glass. These rocks includes andesite, basalt, dacite, obsidian, pumice, rhyolite, scoria and tuff.  

The common characteristic of extrusive igneous rock is the b. forms crystals

Rapid cooling of magma produces small crystal rocks.
