Answer: The correct answer is-

D. Human feet come in a wide range of sizes.

According to Mendelian pattern of inheritance, a trait or physical characteristic of an organism is governed by single gene loci.

In other words, a single gene that exist in two alternative forms (alleles that are dominant and recessive allele) depicts a particular trait (such as tall and dwarf height of pea plant).

In the given option D), the wide range of sizes of human feet depicts polygenic trait (as it shows variation) that it is controlled by more than two genes (unlike Mendelian inheritance, which is controlled by single gene).

Thus, option D) is an example of Non - Mendelian pattern of inheritance.

D: Human feet come in a wide range of sizes. There isn't a lot of gray area or space for ranges of things in medel's laws, but they still work in a lot of cases.

Metabolites are small molecules that:
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

C) generally consist of 1,000 different substances

Explanation:

Metabolites are compounds, usually organic, that participate in the chemical reactions that take place at the cellular level. The set of these biochemical reactions, together with the intracellular physical-chemical processes, constitutes the cellular metabolism, the molecular basis of life. The metabolism includes the degradation of molecules for obtaining energy (catabolism) and the synthesis of molecules necessary for growth, reproduction and repair (anabolism).

The succession of metabolic reactions that transform a given initial substance into another is known as a metabolic pathway. The starting substance is known as a substrate or raw material. The final substance is usually known as the final product or metabolite (a metabolic pathway can generate several final products) and the intermediate substances as intermediate metabolites. An intermediate or final metabolite in one metabolic pathway may be the substrate in another, which makes the vast majority of metabolic pathways interconnected.

Metabolites can be classified into two large groups, primary and secondary. Primary metabolites are defined as those that are directly involved in the normal growth, development and reproduction of an organism with an important physiological function. On the contrary, secondary metabolites are not directly involved in these processes. The absence of a primary metabolite usually leads to immediate or short-term death while the absence of a secondary metabolite does not.

<em>According to the different types and diverse functions that fulfill there are an immense amount of metabolites</em>

The older crust in this case would be at point D, the newest at point A.
umka2103 [35]

Explanation:

New ocean crust is formed at the mid ocean ridges. The new crust is then pushed away from the ridge as newer crust comes to the surface. The ocean crust then spreads out enlarging the ocean. The farer away from the ridge the ocean crust is the older the crust
