In dogs merle color (spotted) is incompletely dominant to solid colors like red, brown, or black. The gene for a white patch of fur on the chest or face is completely dominant to no white patch
of fur. Looking at the litter of puppies above, which statement best explains why some of the puppies
have inherited both the white patch and the merle gene, some have inherited only one of the two traits, and others are neither merle nor do they have a white patch?
A. The law of dominance states that dominant traits are inherited separately while
incompletely dominant traits are inherited together
B. The law of segregation states that each offspring inherits traits separately and that multiple traits will never be inherited from the same parent
C. The law of independent assortment states that the allele for each trait is inherited
separately from one another so the offspring can express any combination of traits.
D. The law of incomplete dominance states that when one gene is incompletely dominant it is always inherited by the offspring if the offspring inherits another completely dominant
trait

Option C, The law of independent assortment states that the allele for each trait is inherited

separately from one another so the offspring can express any combination of traits.

Explanation:

As per the law of independent assortment, the alleles in an allele pair assort independently in each parent. During crossing over, both the parents give their gametes which can combine in several ways thereby producing offspring with varied phenotypes.  

Here, let the allele for spotted trait be “S” and the allele for solid color be “s” but these are incompletely dominant which means when Ss are together a different trait will be expressed instead of defined allele traits of parent gene. The same applies for fur patch alleles.

While assorting independently, these allele can pair up in several manner  to produce varied traits

Option C is correct

im gonna compare the cells to jobs in factory. give brainliest

job in the factory //       cell organelle   //  

shipping/receiving

department                 plasma membrane    

chief executive officer// nucleus

factory floor // cytoplasm

assembly line// endoplasmic reticulum

workers in the assembly line //ribosomes

finishing/packaging department //golgi apparatus

maintenance crew //lysosomes

support beams (walls, ceilings, floors) //cytoskeleton

power plant //mitochondria/chloroplasts

here's what each part of the cell does:

plasma membrane :

regulates what enters and leaves the cell; where cell makes contact with the external environment

nucleus :

controls all cell activity; determines what proteins will be made

cytoplasm :

contains the organelles; site of most cell activity

endoplasmic reticulum:

where ribosomes do their work

ribosomes :

build the proteins

golgi apparatus :

prepares proteins for use or export

lysosomes :

responsible for breaking down and absorbing materials taken in by the cell

cytoskeleton :

maintains cell shape

mitochondria/chloroplasts :

transforms one form of energy into another

cells use diffusion to get substances in and out of themselves. that diffusion will occur across the cell membrane or the outer covering of the cell. because we are talking about the surface of the cell, surface area and volume are  important factors here. as a cell increases in size, its surface area and volume increase as well.  we call that the surface area to volume ratio (sa: vol).  but the catch is that  volume increases at a greater rate than surface  area. in other words, as a cell gets bigger, the sa: vol gets smaller. so a really small cell like bacteria is mostly cell membrane (surface) with very little contents (volume). a really big cell like an egg, is mostly insides with a super thin membrane. so what ends up happening is that the cell cannot efficiently diffuse all of the stuff it needs in/out to survive. therefore cell size is limited to about 100mm. so how do we make organisms bigger than 100mm? cells divide! by dividing and becoming multicellular, organisms are able to grow!   check out the diagrams i attached to see the effect of sa: vol. i hope this ! good luck!
