3 0

The answer is veins.  These venous valves prevent the backflow of blood  in these vessels. This is because blood in the veins has lower pressure,  because it is flowing back to the heart, and therefore can be overcome by forces such as gravity and pull. The valves are similar in structure to semilunar valves of the heart.

Genes, which make up a genotype are instructions for encoding a phenotype, expressed as proteins in translation.

...one gene may have 2 alleles

An allele is an alternate form of a particular gene. Genes can have multiple alleles, but in this case...

∴4 genes= 4 × 2=<u> </u><u>8 segments</u>

<u />

<u>Thus, each allele gives </u> \frac{8}{8} = <u>1 segment</u>
