A derived character refers to a particular character that is shared by members of a particular population. Genes are considered to be derived characters because THEY ARE TRANSFER FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION FROM PARENTS TO THEIR OFFSPRING. Genes are derived from the DNA molecule of the parents and these are passed to their offspring during the process of cell division in reproduction.
<span>Genetic variation can be caused by mutation (which can
create entirely new alleles in a population), random mating, random
fertilization, and recombination between homologous chromosomes during
meiosis (which reshuffles alleles within an organism's offspring)</span>
Answer:
Enzymes are specialized proteins that soil microbes use to make nutrients available for microbial and plant uptake, by breaking down organic material into small enough molecules for plants to absorb through their cell wall
