In tomatoes, tall (D) is dominant over dwarf (d) and smooth fruit (P) is dominant over pubescent fruit (p), which is covered with fine hairs. A farmer has two tall andsmooth tomato plants, which we will call plant A and plant B. The farmer crosses plants A and B with the same dwarf and pubescent plant and obtains the following numbers of progeny

a. The genotypes of both plant A and plant B are DdPp

b. In plant A, Gene D and Gene P link as cis configuration

c. In plant B, Gene D and Gene P link as cis configuration

d. In plant A, Gene D and Gene P link as trans configuration

e. In plant B, Gene D and Gene P link as trans configuration

The herbaceous plant Achillea lanulosa is widespread in the Northern Hemisphere. Phenotypic variation in the species has been extensively studied along an altitudinal gradient from sea level to over 3,000 meters. In California there is conspicuous variation in  height; alpine plants are only several centimeters tall  while  those in  the San Joaquin Valley may reach a height of 1.8 meters. Adaptation to different local environments also results in variation in physiological processes such as photosynthetic rate, resistance to cold, and the timing of dormancy.

The morphological variation shown by Achillea lanulosa illustrates

It is now thought that the atmosphere of the primitive Earth was composed largely of carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and water vapor. The composition of certain iron-containing minerals suggests that the carbon dioxide began to be replaced by oxygen about 2 billion years ago.   Which of the following is the best explanation for the change in atmospheric composition?
