My guess:
I do not know the options to the blanks, but I'd say that the answer to the first one is "strongly linked". Think of a chromosome as a phylogenic chart → 2 species that are beside each other are strongly linked, if compared to 2 species 3 spots apart form each other. So, 2 genes that are close to each other are strongly linked.
I do not know the options to the blanks, but I'd say the answer to the second one is epistasis → which is the interaction between two different genes (different means they're not linked alleles).
Hope it helped,

Molds and fungi are found everywhere inside and outside, and can grow on almost any substance when moisture is present. Molds when they reproduce make spores, which can be carried by air currents. When these spores land on a moist surface that is suitable for life, they begin to grow. Molds are essential to the natural breakdown of organic materials in the environment. Mold is normally found indoors at levels that do not affect most healthy individuals. When these levels become abnormally high as determined by indoor air quality testing or a mold inspection, remediation is recommended to be carried out by a professional remediation company.
This would be a synonymous question as to, "why do cells not just grow big in size?"
The main reason would as to why cells have to be small, not just during cell reproduction or cell division, but all throughout their cellular life, is that the cell membrane or what they call as outside of the cell, can't sustain and maintain the insides of the cell if ever the cell grows bigger. The cell membrane is responsible in transporting food and oxygen to the insides to promote the growth and ready them for reproduction. The insides grow faster than the outside which is why there is a need to divide.
The proteins(particularly enzymes) of the membrane help chemical reactions.
An example would be enzymes involved in electron transport chain.
