Coprophagy is important for the nutritional balance of rabbits and their relatives.
The behaviors of the rabbit, rat, mouse, hamster, guinea pig and chinchilla have all been linked to coprophagy, which is the act of an animal re-consuming its own discharged excrement. Cecotrophy is a better name for it.
The omnivorous rats, mice, and hamster display cecotrophy to a lesser level than herbivores' hindgut fermenters like the rabbit, guinea pig, and chinchilla. In order to boost the supply of folic acid and vitamin B12, it may rise during pregnancy and lactation.
Coprophagy is an intrinsic behavior triggered by the reflex, despite the fact that modern diets make it unnecessary for survival.

Advantages of asexual reproduction:
- There is no need for a mate/ only one parent is required
- It takes less time compared to sexual reproduction
Disadvantages of asexual reproduction:
- There is little genetic variation/less diverse population
- Offspring cannot adapt to change
Advantages of sexual reproduction:
- Genetic diversity
- Offspring can adapt to change
Disadvantages of sexual reproduction:
- Two parents are needed
- Slow reproduction compared to asexual reproduction
-
They are called paleontologists.
Answer:
Co-dominance because he expresses both of the alleles simultaneously
Explanation:
The ABO blood group system is used by humans. This blood group type is controlled by multiple alleles. Alleles A and B are both dominant over allele O but are co-dominant. Co-dominance is a type of inheritance pattern in which two alleles of a gene both express themselves i.e. neither is recessive.
This is the case of this family whose parents have a genotype of AO (blood type A) and BO (blood type B) respectively. The children have blood types A, B, and AB. However, the child with genotype AB possesses both the A and B allele, which are both expressed in his blood group (phenotype), hence, it can be said that the child is exhibiting CO-DOMINANCE for the blood group trait.
