Answer:

Option D,  Number of limbs

Explanation:

Options for the question

a. Birth weight

b. Hair color

c. Number of offspring

d. Number of limbs

Solution

Variation within a species is caused due to genetic differences governed by varying allele frequencies and duet to environmental factors that somewhere effect the expression of the genetic potentials thereby causing phenotypic variation.  

Number of limbs is a physical characteristics, very unlikely governed by genetic variation. While factors such as hair color (grey, black, white etc.), height (tall, short, medium) etc. are governed by genetic variation as a result of which they have several phenotypic variations.

Hence, option D is correct

Sodium and potassium ions move in and out of the axon when the membrane is ______
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

Answer : Depolarized

Explanation:

Sodium and Potassium ions tend to move inside of the axin when the membrane is depolarized.

A change in polarity occurs in the axon membrane when a nerve impulse travels across it.  At the beginning of an action potential or nerve impulse , the ions of sodium tend to move inside of axon causing depolarization. As a result potassium ions tend to move outside of the axon causing re polarization. Hence, this effect causes the nerve impulse to travel in one direction only inside the axon.
