The pea aphid, a type of insect, contains light-capturing pigments in its exoskeleton. Pea aphids gained the ability to synthesize these pigments from genes transferred from fungi. While pea aphids do not have chloroplasts or fix carbon, researchers have found that pea aphids with more pigments have higher levels of ATP than those with fewer pigments. Pea aphids also have been shown to increase production of ATP when exposed to sunlight. Based on this information, is the pea aphid an autotroph? A. Yes, because the pea aphid does not need to use energy from food. B. No, because the pea aphid depends on genes from fungii to utilize energy from sunlight. C. Yes, because the pea aphid can store energy from the sun in ATP molecules. D. No, because the pea aphid is unable to use the energy from sunlight. I NEED HELP

In a hypothetical breed of dogs, coat color is controlled by two genes. there are six different coat colors in this breed: black, brown, cream, gray, silver, and tan. consider the following crosses.cross 1: black females from a lineage of all black dogs are crossed with brown males from a lineage of all brown dogs. f1 males and females are all black. when f1 are intercrossed, f2 males and females are black or brown.cross 2: black females from a lineage of all black dogs are crossed with tan males from a lineage where all males are tan and all females are cream. f1 males are black, f1 females are gray. when f1 are intercrossed, f2 males and females are black, brown, gray, or tan.cross 3: silver females from a lineage where all females are silver and all males are gray are crossed with brown males from a lineage of all brown dogs. f1 males and females are all gray. when f1 are intercrossed, f2 males are black, brown, gray, or tan, f2 females are cream, gray, silver, or tan.select the correct statements regarding the mode of inheritance of the coat color genes.a) both genes are x-linked.b) both genes are autosomal.c) one of the genes modifies the expression of the other gene.d) each gene has an additive effect on the intensity of coat color.e) each gene independently specifies three colors.f) one of the genes is autosomal, and the other is x-linked.
