<span><span>A.      </span>Increase surface area for purposes of absorption</span>

Intestinal villi, plural of villus are projections that forms a surface mount. It is found in the digestive system, mainly in intestines that majorly functions in the absorption of food. It is a second to metabolism, it helps absorb nutrients in the intestines by expanding the surface area of the organ. Moreover, this plays a major roles in aiding the process of metabolism –breaking down of the food to be absorbed and, retrieved and delivered by the red blood cells.

Which role do gametes play in reproduction?
Lesechka [4]
<span>C. Gametes are the sex cells, and each (sperm and ovum) contain half of the parent's genetic material. These cells will fuse to produce a zygote, which will usually contain the full number of genes required by an organism to live. If there is a chromosomal abnormality, such as a gamete with an extra chromosome, the offspring can either die in development or sometimes be born with physiological and/or developmental difficulties. An example of this phenomenon is trisomy 21, also known as Down Syndrome, in which the 21st chromosome bears 3 copies instead of the regular 2.</span>

A woman heterozygous for polydactyly (extra fingers and toes), a dominant trait, is married to a normal man. What is the probabi
Feliz [49]

Answer:

The correct answer is -50%

Explanation:

Polydactyly is a dominant trait where a person gets an extra finger or toes the dominant allele is represented by P = allele for polydactyly, and the recessive allele represented by p = normal allele

So, the heterozygous woman will be - Pp & the normal man will be - pp.  The presence of one allele of polydactyly will be able to show its effect as it is dominant.

Cross between heterozygous woman & normal man:

Gametes:

   P                              p

p Pp (Show polydactyly) pp (Normal phenotype)

p Pp (Show polydactyly) pp (Normal phenotype)

From the above Punnett square, the probability of an offspring that has extra fingers or toes will be 1/2 or 50%.
