Answer:

1. Mutation

2. Epigenetics

Explanation:

1. Mutation occurs when there is a change in an organism's DNA sequence as a result of mistakes in DNA replication or as a result of environmental factors like smoking. The mutation in a single organism can be passed on to other generations hence causing a genetic variation in the population, this obeys the Darwin's law that inherited traits (genetic) are passed on to other generations

2. Epigenetics are changes in gene expression that doesn't involve changes in the DNA sequences unlike mutation. This changes can be passed on to other generations and hence cause a variation in the population. This obeys the Lamarckian evolution that acquired traits are passed on to other generations.

A mutation is a change that occurs in our DNA sequence, either due to mistakes when the DNA is copied or as the result of environmental factors such as UV light and cigarette smoke.

Testosterone is an example of:_________.
klio [65]

Testosterone is an example of an androgen.

Testosterone belongs to a class of male hormones called androgens, which are sometimes called steroids or anabolic steroids. IN men, testosterone is mainly produced in the testes. In women's bodies, testosterone is produced in the ovaries, adrenal glands, fat cells, and skin cells.

Testosterone products come in different forms, including gels, injectable solutions, patches, pills and pellets implanted under the skin. Once a patient starts testosterone therapy, the patient usually undergoes lifelong treatment. Testosterone is an anabolic steroid that occurs naturally in the human body. “Anabolic” means to build up or promote growth.

Hence, A is the correct option
