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,

Answer:
Scientists mostly gain new knowledge through direct observation and applying the scientific method. They would start with a hypothesis and test it, then change it or confirm it. Others would test their confirmation from one point, while the third group would test what the second said. And so on and so forth.
Explanation:
The mutation<span> caused by the addition of a nucleotide to an already existing gene sequence is duplication.</span>
Answer:
Paul has natural active immunity, while Nicholas has artificial active immunity.
Explanation:
Natural active immunity is an immunity that occurs when an individual is exposed to a disease causing organism, gets infected, and also become immune to the disease due to the primary immune response. From the question, Paul has natural active immunity because he had chicken pox before, and the virus that causes chicken pox has interacted with his immune response, hence, making him to develop natural immunity to the disease.
Artificial active immunity is an immunity that an individual acquires when small amount of immunity to a disease is deliberately exposed to his body. Artificial active immunity is usually produced in the form of vaccinations. From the question, Nicholas has artificial active immunity because chicken pox vaccines were intentionally introduced to his body.
Answer:
C. It is active transport, and moves against the concentration gradient.
Explanation: Pinocytosis is an active transport in which the molecules move from a low to a more higher concentration gradient. During this process it requires energy to move molecules and the energy used is ATP.
