<u>Answer</u>: A heritable trait can be changed from one generation to another.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • The concept of <em>descent with modification</em> was given by Darwin which simply states that the traits are passed on from the parents to the offsprings.
  • The traits that can be passed on are known as <em>heritable traits</em>.
  • These traits are passed on with the help of the genes.
  • So this passing on of traits explains the term <em>descent</em> in this concept. However, there are always chances that these heritable traits can be changed due to environmental factors or due to the process of recombination and thus the term <em>modification</em>.
  • So <em>descent with modification</em> means that a<em> heritable trait is passed from parents to offspring but it can be changed from one generation to another.</em>

Answer:

organogenesis

Explanation:

Organogenesis is defined as a process in which the three germ layers differentiate further to form several organs.  

The embryonic stem cell is responsible for determining the ultimate cell type. During this process, neural system is formed and several morphological changes occur. The neural system further differentiates and develops to form neural tube and ultimately converts into brain and spinal cord. While folds and dense clusters are formed in the embryo that later form organs.

If you have car sickness, but only when you look at a book or screen while its moving, is there an exact terminology for it?
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

The exact terminology would be motion sickness, not car sickness.

Explanation:

Reading a book or using your phone while in or on any moving object can cause motion sickness.

With motion sickness your body is moving in space, such as in a moving car or on a boat rocking at sea, but your eyes aren’t getting the same information. Kind of like when you are reading while in a car: Your eyes are focused on the words, thinking you’re stationary, but the rest of your body is sensing the movement of the car.

Motion sickness is basically a sensory conflict.

Now there is something called cybersickness, which is almost the same as motion sickness but it pertains more to using/ watching moving pictures on a screen while your body is stationary.

It has opposite sensory effects than motion sickness, where your eyes think you are moving but your body is not.
