Answer:  

A. Genetic predispositions.

Explanation:

It is known as a genetic predisposition to the way in which the genetic phenotype of an organism influences an individual or a population. The phenotype is the genetic load that differs from one organism to another and that is usually modified by the environmental conditions to which the population is exposed.

In this case, Donna and Derek have phenotypes that react differently to sun exposure, which is why their skin burns to a greater or lesser intensity. It is very likely that Donna's ancestors came from a hot environment where they were frequently exposed to the sun, while Derek's ancestors were from a colder environment where there was less exposure to the sun.

The genetic phenotype can also define the probability that an individual or population has of having a disease or having certain physical characteristics.

Jane is studying morbidity rates.

How would you define morbidity?

In a medical context, the terms "morbidity" and "mortality" relate to the relative frequency of fatalities in a given population or place, respectively, whereas "morbidity" refers to the incidence or prevalence of a disease in a given population or location (sometimes referred to as the morbidity rate) (sometimes called the mortality rate). When you are morbid, you have a particular disease or condition. Heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and obesity are a few instances of frequent morbidities. There can be multiple morbidities present at once. When this occurs, it is referred to as comorbidity. Mortality is the total number of fatalities attributable to a given disease or condition.
