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.

In a chemical analysis of a sample of animal tissue, which element would most likely be found in the smallest quantity?
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

Iodine

Explanation:

Iodine is needed by animals because the body's metabolic rate is controlled by the action of an iodine hormone, called thyroxine, which is secreted by the thyroid gland in the neck.

If the animal fails to supply enough iodine through food to be able to make a normal amount of this compound, then the thyroid gland enlarges or expands trying to create enough, resulting in a common type of goiter.
