Answer:

A. Heritable

C. Affected by the MC1R gene

D. Polygenic trait

Has evolved due to evolutionary processes such as natural selection.

Explanation:

Human skin color is a polygenic trait as it is regulated by more than one gene. Each allele of these genes has an additive effect on the overall skin color of an individual. Therefore, the trait is a continuous trait, not a discrete one. The genes for human skin color are transmitted from parents to progeny which in turn makes it a heritable trait.

The gene MC1R codes for melanocortin 1 receptor and thereby, regulate the skin color of humans since melanocyte-stimulating hormone binds to the receptor to trigger the synthesis of melanin from melanocytes. Evolution of various skin color in human beings is regulated by natural selection which in turn favors the skin tone best suited under the prevailing climatic conditions of a particular human population

Schach [20]

Amoeba are the consumers that surround, engulf, and ingest their food.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

Amoeba is a unicellular organism that belongs to the kingdom Protista. This organism are having eukaryotic cells without any cell walls. These organisms have each and every cellular organelle that are needed to perform metabolism.

Amoeba are consumer in mode of nutrition. Whenever they senses some food, they push a part of their cytoplasm packed in cell membrane towards the food to cover it. This process is called pseupodia.

This pseupodia engulfs the food and performs phagocytosis or pinocytosis. This food is covered in a cell membrane inside the cytoplasm which is called the food vacoule or endosome. This then fuses with a lysosome to digest and then the excretory product is let off by the secondary vacoule.
