<h2>Answer is option "b"</h2>

Explanation:

  • Our body contains miles of arteries and arterioles, yet these structures are nothing more than the vascular highways that provide a pathway for the blood. It's only when our blood reaches the tiny capillaries that nutrients and wastes can be exchanged. Capillaries are microscopic blood vessels that connect the arterioles with the venules. We'll discuss venules later in the lesson.
  • Capillaries are grouped together in capillary beds, which are simply a network of capillaries. Capillary beds are too small to see, but if you could see them, they would look like endless alleyways leading to virtually every tissue in our body. The rate of blood flow within a capillary bed is slow because there are so many different alleyways through which blood can travel. This slow speed limit, along with the very thin walls of the capillaries, means that capillary beds are an ideal place for the exchange of gases, nutrients, hormones, and wastes between the blood and tissue cells.
  • Hence, the right answer is option b "two capillary beds".

Nadya [2.5K]
Researched (copied and pasted so use in your own words)

Disturbances such as forest thinning, floods, fire and wind can all lead to secondary succession. Examples of secondary succession are the gradual replacement of old fields by forest or the vegetation recovery and change following wildfire occurrence.

How can two organisms with a dominant trait for a specific feature produce an organism with a recessive trait for the same featu
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

If the two organisms are heterozygous for the dominant trait.

Explanation:

For every trait, a diploid organism receives two forms of gene called ALLELE, from each parent. Allele is the variant form of a gene.

According to Mendel's law of dominance, for a particular trait, an allele is capable of masking the expression of another allele in a gene. The expressed allele is called the DOMINANT allele while the masked allele is called the RECESSIVE allele. Due to this, an organism can express a dominant trait even in a combined or heterozygous state i.e. different alleles.

When the two heterozygous organisms mate or are crossed, they undergo meiosis and their alleles are separated into GAMETES according to Mendel's law of segregation. For example; an organism with genotype (genetic make-up) Aa will produce gametes with A and a alleles.

Note that, a recessive trait can only be expressed in a homozygous state i.e. same allele. Hence, the two heterozygous organisms will produce gametes containing the recessive allele, which will likely combine to produce a recessive phenotype or trait.
