The correct answer to this question is this one: they lacked oxygen. The earliest organisms were completely heterotrophic in nature because of the reason that they lacked oxygen. <span>A heterotroph is an organism that cannot fix carbon and uses organic carbon for growth. </span>
The genotype depends if the purple flower is heterozygous dominant of homozygous dominant. But the total possible phenotypes available is 2, purple or red.

Answer:
The answer to your question is:
Explanation:
When carbon attached to oxygen, they form covalent bonds, in these kind of bonds, atoms share electrons to acquire stability.
Atoms acquire stability when they have 8 electrons in their outermost shell.
When carbon share electrons with oxygen they acquire 8 electrons and they are stable.
See the picture below
Red is carbon and blue oxygen
I believe the correct answer is: HIV is spread during unprotected sex or through contact with infected blood; it cannot be cured, but early treatment can minimize the long-term consequences.
<h2>Explanation:</h2>
Human Immunodeficiency Virus is a type of virus which causes an impairment of the immune system of the person making them susceptible to diseases such as tuberculosis, influenza and any other disease that can exploit this opportunity. It is spread by a person coming into direct contact with infected bodily fluids such as saliva during deep kissing, semen during intercourse, blood after an accident or even fluids when sharing needles and syringes for drug addicts. There is no cure but the current form of treatment slows down the virus to prevent some consequences.
<h2>Further Explanation:</h2>
The virus is enters the body through open wounds or surfaces such as the vagina or mouth where the skin is very thin and can tear. After penetrating the skin, it attaches to specific immune cells called CD8+ T-cells on points called receptors. It then enters the cell and replicates itself in the nucleus of the cell and as it goes out, it kills these immune cells making the person to have a weak immune system. The current drugs used called AntiRetroVirals (ARVs) such as the drug Zidovudin stops the virus from replicating thus reducing the total amount of virus in the body called the Viral Load. Some drugs target enzymes called proteases and reverse transcriptase that help the virus to replicate. This viral load is what is counted to estimate the total volume of HIV someone has in their body. Infected persons should use protection while having sex and also avoid sharing sharp objects to prevent transmission. They also need to take their medication to make them much more healthier in addition to taking proper balanced diets.
