Answer:

A) In this wild mustard, there is enough heritable variation to permit these different varieties.

Explanation:

Brussels sprouts, broccoli, kale, and cabbage were developed by breeders by the process of artificial selection of one or other genetic traits. The processes of natural and artificial selection require the presence of genetic variations in the population to act upon. <em>Brassica oleracea </em>had the variations such as overlapping leaves (for cabbage), storage stem (for kohlrabi), large axillary buds (for Brussels), etc. These strains of <em>Brassica</em> with desired genetic traits were selected and bred for several generations to produce the above-mentioned strains.

Which characteristic differentiates amphibians from reptiles?
Stells [14]

Option D – amphibians may use their skin for gas exchange is the characteristic feature of amphibians that differs from reptiles.

Explanation:

The amphibian skin is moist, thin and marbled and supplied by blood vessels running on its surface. The moisture present in the skin dissolves the oxygen present in its surrounding which is absorbed by the blood vessels. Special glands help the amphibians to keep the skin moist.

The very thick and tough scales present on the reptiles prevent them to absorb oxygen through their skin. Hence, they breathe and respire through their lungs.

Amphibians have three-chambered heart. They do not develop amniotic eggs. Adult amphibians although spend much time on land, they breed only in water due to the absence of amniotic sac .

The hormone , which is secreted by the pineal gland, influences the sleep–wakefulness cycles.
KonstantinChe [14]
The hormone described above is the hormone Melatonin.
Melatonin is a hormone secreted by the pineal gland in the brain, which helps regulate other hormones and maintains the body's circadian rhythm. This rhythm is an internal 24 hour clock that plays a critical role when we fall asleep and when awake. When it is dark the body releases more melatonin.
