The correct answer is A. Phenotypes

Explanation:

In genetics, the observable traits of an organism that includes behavior, physical traits, biochemical properties, etc. are known as phenotypes. These traits depend on both the genes of the organism (genotype) and the influence of the environment. Due to this, organisms of the same species with a similar genotype can display different phenotypes. This occurs in the case of Patrick and Michael as their observable traits or phenotype is different despite they are brothers. Thus, the observable characteristics are the phenotypes of an organism.

How might the poison dart frog population suddenly increase? How might this affect the ecosystem?
umka2103 [35]
If the predator that feeds off the dart frogs goes extinct or migrates to a different area then the dart fronts will have a much larger population. This means that the resources the dart frogs rely on will start to deminish and their prey will have smaller numbers
