Answer:

The small sized organism would be able to diffuse a greater amount of gas per unit volume through the surface of its body.

Explanation:

When two organisms have the same body shape, the smaller organism would have a higher surface area to volume ratio than the larger organism. It means that the smaller organism would have more surface area available for the diffusion of gases per unit of volume. Since the diffusion of gases or any other substances is increased with increased available surface area, the smaller organism would be able to diffuse more gas as compared to the larger organism.

As the body size increases, the surface area to volume ratio reduces which in turn reduces the rate of diffusion of the substances.

Answer;

-Genetic heterogeneity and epistasis.

Explanation;

-Marfan syndrome is a genetic disorder that affects the body's connective tissue that holds all the body's cells, organs and tissue together.

-Genetic heterogeneity is defined as mutations at two or more genetic loci that produce the same or similar phenotypes. Genetic heterogeneity may be either; allelic heterogeneity, which occurs when a similar phenotype is produced by different alleles within the same gene; or locus heterogeneity, which occurs when a similar phenotype is produced by mutations at different loci.

-A gene is said to be epistatic when its presence suppresses the effect of a gene at another locus. Epistatic genes are sometimes called inhibiting genes because of their effect on other genes which are described as hypostatic.

-From these descriptions the marfan syndrome demonstrates both genetic heterogeneity and epistasis.
