Answer:

B. Positive feedback

Explanation:

The positive feedback or positive feedback mechanism occurs in smaller quantities compared to the negative feedback mechanism. Positive feedback, unlike negative feedback, ensures increased stimulus that causes imbalance, reinforcing it. Thus, positive feedback is not always beneficial, triggering, in some cases, detrimental effects on the body.

Although less than negative, positive feedback also plays an important role in our bodies. An example of this occurs when platelet release chemicals are activated in an injured tissue to attract more platelets, eventually forming a blood clot.

Answer:

This indicates that the expression of genes depends partly on environment.

Explanation:

The case shown in the question is showing a situation where there was a genetic interaction with the environment, resulting that gene expression depends in part on the environment.

Gene and environmental interactions are revealed by penetrance and expressiveness. Penetrance is the percentage of individuals with a given gene that have a phenotype linked to this gene, such as children and parents who have the same height. In cases of penetrance, a genotype may not express the expected phenotype due to gene influences and environmental effects, as happened to the couples' children shown in the question.
