Answer:

Darkened shapes are recessive

Explanation:

In the pedigree shown, we can see that 2 parents that are unshaded shapes have 2 children that are shaded shapes. This would be impossible if shaded shapes were dominant and unshaded shapes were recessive. This is because parents that have a recessive trait have 2 of the same alleles. So if 2 parents that both have a recessive trait have a child, the child will definitely have that trait. But we can see that this is not the case, the parents have 2 offspring that have different phenotype from the parents. This must mean the parents are heterozygous, meaning that they both have 2 alleles that are different. The dominant allele masks the recessive allele, so the dominant allele is expressed. In this case, the children inherited 2 recessive alleles, 1 from each parent, making them have a different phenotype from the parents.

Answer:

The correct answer is option A. "A statin".

The populations living on a rough, steep mountain would have a higher rate of speciation than this living in a large, open grass

exis [7]

The correct answer is option C, that is, have a wider range of environments.

It has been known that geographic isolation is a general way for the initiation of the process of speciation, like the rise of mountains, rivers changing course, migration of organisms, continental drift, due to this what was once a steady population gets differentiated into two or more kinds of smaller populations.

A mountain range, due to distinctions in temperature and precipitation as a result of different altitudes, can lead to a higher rate of speciation. Due to these differences, a single mountain range can exhibit an enormous array of biodiversity and climate zones.

Answer:

Acidophilic and acidotolerant eukaryotic microorganisms such as algae, amoebas, ciliates, heliozoan and rotifers, not to mention filamentous fungi and yeasts.

Explanation:

Acidophilic and acidotolerant eukaryotic microorganisms such as algae, amoebas, ciliates, heliozoan and rotifers are the organisms which can survive in highly acidic solution that have large amounts of iron, sulfur dioxide, carbondioxide, and oxygen molecule. In these organisms algae is autotrophic whereas archaea, bacteria, fungi, yeasts and protozoa are heterotrophic.

Why does dna replication occur inside the cell?

Brilliant_brown [7]

This is because both strands of DNA have complementary bases. The nucleotide sequence of each automatically gives the needed information to produce its partner. This needed information is Genetic/DNA/Parent Cell. Each cell serves as it's own template in order to acquire this.
