Biology
1 answer:
KatRina [158]2 years ago

Answer:

A transverse section is a cross-sectional part that is achieved by cutting the body or any part of the body structure in real or with help of imaging techniques in a horizontal plane. That plane crisscrosses the longitudinal axis at a 90-degree angle.

Explanation:

A cross section obtained by slicing, actually or through imaging techniques, the body or any part of the body structure, in a horizontal plane, i.e., a plane that intersects the longitudinal axis at a right angle. Because actual sectioning in the transverse plane results in inferior and superior portions, an anatomic transverse section may be a two-dimensional view of the cut surface on the inferior aspect of the superior portion, or of the superior aspect of the inferior portion. By convention, in medical imaging transverse sections usually demonstrate the form

paragraph about how genetic variation and environmental pressures can cause a change in population just a simple paragraph
AlladinOne [14]
Genetic variation in a population allows for phenotypic variation, meaning that different traits exist in the same population. When the environment changes, the members of the population are tested by natural selection with regards to how well adapted their specific traits are to the new environment. If the traits they have do not suit their environment, this results in reduced survival and fitness, leading to less of that trait in the population. However, if the traits they have are adapted to the environment, they become naturally selected for with better survivability and fitness (leading to a higher frequency of that trait in the population). Thus, evolution has occurred.
