Answer:
Population
Explanation:
A population in biology, is simply a group of individual organisms of the same species sharing a common gene pool that are dwelling in a similar habitat or geographical area. The individuals of a group have the capability to interbreed with each other to produce viable offspring that are fertile, however, interbreeding with other similar groups is usually not successful. Also, genetic variation exists within individuals of a population. Examples of a population are: mountain gorillas in Africa, African elephants etc.
Out of the following given choices;
A) her sex.
B) how tall she is.
C) how long her hair is.
D) the color of her eyes.
The answer is C. The length of hair is not determined by
genetics but rather by the time period of the growth phase (anagen phase) of
the hair follicle, before shedding in the telogen phase. The longer the anagen
phase the longer the hair will be before shedding. The hair on the head has
longer anagen phase compared to hair in regions such as the eyebrows.
d) Meiosis occurs often because it allows growth and repair of body tissues in multicellular organisms.

All of the traits combined that actually show up in the individual - this is the phenotype (the physical, observed expression of genes
Each person has two genes. The DOMINANT TRAIT will show up if that trait is present on one of the two genes.
The RECESSIVE TRAIT can be hidden by the dominant trait. It will only show up if a person has both genes for that trait.
An observable form of an inherited characteristic - A trait
The traits that an individual has inherited, including the ones that do not show up - this is the genotype, as it accounts for the set of genes in our DNA
