Is a frog heterotrophic or autotrophic?

Frogs, being animals, are heterotrophs.An autotroph (Greek- auto=self, troph=nutrition), such as a plant, makes its own food through the process of photo- or chemosynthesis, which a frog does not do- a frog is a heterotroph (Greek- hetero=other, troph=nutriotion), which means it has other means of receiving its food, for instance the frog, that gains its nutrition from eating other organisms.


How those roots Heterotroph and Autotroph are related to the meaning of these words?

Auto-self Hetero-another Troph-feeder Therefor, the auto + the troph makes it something that produces it's own food, or self feeding. The Hetero + the troph makes it one who feeds of of others. The "troph" relates both to feeding, while the "hetero" and "auto" make them different. Hope this helps.


What is one difference between tracing the inheritance of auto somal traits and tracing the inheritance of sex linked traits?

One key difference between tracing the inheritance of autosomal traits and sex-linked traits is that autosomal traits are located on the non-sex chromosomes, affecting both males and females equally, while sex-linked traits are found on the sex chromosomes (X or Y), often leading to different patterns of inheritance between genders. For instance, a recessive trait on the X chromosome may manifest more frequently in males, who have only one X chromosome, whereas females, having two X chromosomes, may be carriers without expressing the trait. This difference can significantly influence pedigree charts and the probabilities of trait expression in offspring.
