Answer:
b) 6
Explanation:
There are three different alleles (A,B,C) which are responsible for coat coloration but only combination of two can move forward because there are two loci at every homologous pair of chromosomes.
Thus, six combinations can be formed as AA, AB, AC, BB, BC, CC.
Answer:
The microorganism creates its own energy.
Explanation:
Based on the pattern of nutrition, a living organism can either be autotrophic or heterotrophic. Autotrophic organisms are those organisms capable of synthesizing its own food or energy source using light (photosynthesis) or chemicals (chemosynthesis). Heterotrophs, on the other hand, cannot synthesize their own food, hence, they depend on other organisms for energy.
According to this question, a researcher claims that a newly discovered microorganism is an autotroph. For this claim to be true, this means that the microorganism must be capable of CREATING ITS OWN FOOD/ENERGY either by photosynthesis (light) or chemosynthesis (inorganic chemicals).
Diffuse reflection would be the answer.
