Answer:
D variations in individuals are not heritable
Explanation:
Genetic variation in individuals is what drives evolution. In a population of individuals in an environment, with the adequate resources, overpopulation can occur. However, resources are usually a limiting factor for population growth: there is not sufficient food/shelter etc. for everyone to survive.
Some individuals are better suited to success in the environment. This is because of random variation in their DNA that has arisen that give them a selective advantage. This allows them to thrive, take advantage of the limited resources over other members of the population, and be more likely to survive to reproductive age. This is natural selection.
Because this variation is genetic (in the DNA), they can then pass it on to their offspring. Over time, this leads to evolution over time.
Answer:
<u>Cilia</u>
Explanation:
Cilia and flagellum are made up of microtubules.
Cytoskeletal filaments are structures which allow movement. In cilia and flagella, the cytoskeletal filaments are present in the form of microtubules and the primary work of these structures is to facilitate in movement.
Cilia is also present in mammals to facilitate the movement of fluids in cells.
Structurally, there is no difference between cilia and flagella. The only difference between cilia and flagella is in their lengths.

Answer:
Pleiotropy
Explanation:
Pleiotropy is a genetic condition in which a single gene conditions the expression of multiple phenotype. There are different types of pleiotropy depending on the underlining mechanism
- <em>gene pleiotropy</em>
- <em>developmental pleiotropy</em>
- <em>selectional pleiotropy</em>
- <em>antagonistic pleiotropy </em>
<em>Phenylketonuria is a disease characterized by increased level of amino acid phenylalanine in the blood. It caused by mutation to the gene responsible for breaking down phenylalanine in the blood. Elevated level of phenylalanine causes other issues such as mental problems, urine coloration and reduction in skin pigmentation. This is a clear case of pleiotropy.</em>
