The answer is: a pathogen
A pathogen is anything that can cause a disease, such as a virus or bacteria.
'Path' is like pathology and 'gen' is like generation/ creation.
When you catch a cold, it's typically a viral infection such as rhinovirus, so pathogen works.
Traits are determined by genes, and also they are determined by the interaction with the environment with genes. And remember that genes are the messages in our DNA that define individual characteristics. So the trait is the manifestation of the product of a gene that is coded for by the DNA.
It is necessary to increase oxygen delivery in order to maintain sustained ATP production.
Answer:
Biological evolution
Explanation:
<em>Biological evolution is defined as the formation of complex organisms from single ancestral type over a large time period. Evolution believes that all living organisms descended from a common ancestor but not without modification.</em>
There are several evidence to support the theory of evolution including morphological evidence, paleontological evidence, biochemical evidence, among others.
The similarity in the structure and components of DNA of all living organisms is one of the evidence pointing to the fact that living organisms might truly have been from a common ancestor. In addition, all living organisms tend to use ATP largely as their source of energy, giving further credence to evolution theory.
