B. Scarcity of drinking water
Answer:
D. In an ocean heated by volcanic activity
Explanation:
Most of Earth was covered in water, early organisms weren't evolved enough to walk on land at the time. There are some organisms that feed off of volcanic activity and use it as an energy resource and would adapt to the heat.
<em>"Hot spots create volcanoes on the seafloor. If these volcanoes rise above sea level to become islands, and if they occur in tropical waters, coral reefs will form on them. Since the volcanoes are cones, the reef forms in a circle around the volcano."</em>

<em>"Discovered only in 1977, hydrothermal vents are home to dozens of previously unknown species. Huge red-tipped tube worms, ghostly fish, strange shrimp with eyes on their backs and other unique species thrive in these extreme deep ocean ecosystems found near undersea volcanic chains."</em>

The first is A second is C
Answer:
All their descendants will be heterozygous for the skin color, Bb, expressing blue skin.
Explanation:
<u>Available data</u>:
- Smurfette has light blue skin
- Her family is a "true bred" or "purebred" line.
- She married a boy who has light yellow skin
- blue skin is the dominant trait expressed by the B allele
- yellow skin is a recessive trait, expressed by the b allele
Cross: Smurfette x Husband
Parentals) BB x bb
Gametes) B B b b
Phenotypes) blue skin yellow skin

F1) 100% of the progeny will be heterozygous for the skin color, Bb
100% of the progeny will be blue-skinned.
Note: Although the progeny is blue-skinned, they are not true-bred anymore.
