Answer:
The correct answer is - d. gradualism.
Explanation:
Gradualism is a model of evolution that explains that the smaller variation in an individual organism that is occurring over a period of the time is to the betterment of the organism in their environment.
These changes or variations allow them to thrive and survive with a slow successive change in an evolutionary line or the whole population. It is a consistent process.
Thus, the correct answer is - D. gradualism.
Answer:
Please find the explanation below
Explanation:
Sodium (Na) and Chlorine (Cl) are two electrolytes that play important role in the absorption of water and nutrients in the small intestine. However, as mentioned in the question, the release of sodium and chlorine would lead to a loss of water in the intestines. This is because of the OSMOTIC phenomenon.
Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a region of high concentration of water/low concentration of solute to a region of low concentration of water/high concentration of solute via a semipermeable membrane. In this case, the Na+ and Cl- ions serve as the solutes, which when released out of the intestine causes the solution in the intestines to be HYPOTONIC compared to the intestinal environment. This causes an OSMOTIC GRADIENT.
This osmotic gradient i.e. difference in concentration provokes osmotic flow of water from the intestines, which has a low solute/high water concentration, to the outside of the intestines, which has a high solute/low water concentration. Hence, water is lost from the intestine because the solute concentration becomes low when sodium and chlorine ions are released.
We all have the same genetic makeup. DNA
Answer: Polygenic recessive
Explanation: Because polygenic dominance describes a relationship between the alleles of a polygenic trait where some alleles are dominant and others are recessive.
