If an ecosystem is disturbed, goes out of balance, and cannot return to a state of equilibrium, the species living there will most likely _____.

The right option is A) venom glands and varied diet

The venom glands and varied diet are most responsible for the success of the cane toad as an invasive species in Australia.

The cane toad is a big terrestrial toad usually used as pest control against the cane beetle. The cane toads have a toxic skin and venom glands behind their eyes that secrete toxins. The toxins kill animals when it is ingested. The cane toads also have a varied diet. They consume various types of materials such as household garbage, plants in addition to the usual preys of reptiles and birds.

Answer:

Gregor Mendel is remembered as the "father of modern genetics" for his pioneering work on pea plants in the 19th century. He conducted a series of experiments to study how traits are inherited from one generation to the next, and his discoveries laid the foundation for our understanding of genetics.

Mendel's most significant contribution was his formulation of the laws of inheritance, now known as Mendelian inheritance. He proposed that traits are passed down from parents to offspring in discrete units called "genes." Through his experiments, he identified dominant and recessive traits and showed how they can be inherited independently of each other.

One of Mendel's famous experiments involved crossbreeding pea plants with different characteristics, such as flower color or seed texture. By carefully observing the resulting offspring and analyzing the patterns of inheritance, Mendel was able to deduce the basic rules of heredity. He found that traits are determined by pairs of alleles, with one allele inherited from each parent.

Mendel's work was not initially recognized during his lifetime, but his findings were rediscovered and widely accepted in the early 20th century. Today, his laws of inheritance are fundamental to the field of genetics and are taught in biology classrooms around the world.

In summary, Gregor Mendel is remembered for his groundbreaking experiments with pea plants, which led to the discovery of the laws of inheritance and laid the foundation for modern genetics. His work revolutionized our understanding of how traits are passed down from one generation to the next

The correct answer is: C.

Explanation:

• Gregor Mendel identified the manner in which different traits are transferred from the parents to their offspring.
• He explained the three Laws which determines the pattern of inheritance by examining the some traits of pea plant in the parental and offspring generation.
• The traits includes, seed colour seed shape, pod colour, etc.
• The parent pea plants which Mendel experimented with belonged to the pure-breeding strains.
• This means that the parent pea plants were homozygous (either dominant or recessive) and not heterozygous for the different traits which Mendel observed.
• This is why Mendel could determine the pattern of inheritance of the traits in different generations of the offspring.
• The three laws of inheritance as explained by Mendel were,

1. The Law of Dominance. It states that in a diploid organism, each trait is controlled by two contrasting variants of the same gene called Alleles. Among the two variants one can express itself even in the presence of the other variant (heterozygous condition) and is called the Dominant allele. The other variant gets suppressed in the presence of the dominant allele and can express itself only in the homozygous condition. This is the Recessive allele.
2. The Law of Segregation. It states that different pair of alleles segregate during the formation of gametes and during the process of fertilization they associate with the corresponding allele, obtained from the other parent, randomly.
3. The Law of Independent Assortment. It states that during gamete formation, alleles of two different genes get randomly sorted in the gametes independent of each other.
