Answer:

The number of genes partially explains how an organism has evolved and how it gained complexity.

Explanation:

The number of genes of a bacteria versus an eucaryotic organism is quite distinct and so is their complexity. A prokaryotic organism like a bacteria has a set of genes necessary to exert their basic functions and the number of genes compared to a eucaryotic cell is 3-30 times smaller, which defines a direct correlation of number of genes and complexity. However if we consider only eucaryote organisms and their complexity there is no such direct correlation between number of genes and their complexity when, for example, we compare the number of genes of humans (approximately 18000) and the number of genes of the <em>Trichomonas vaginalis, </em>an anaerobic, flagellated protozoan parasite and the causative agent of trichomoniasis. The number of genes of <em>T. vaginalis</em> is far bigger than the human cell, however the human complexity is far more advanced than the parasite organism.

2. The action of abrasion can best be described as _____.
KengaRu [80]

The right option is; A. windblown sand cutting and polishing exposed rock surfaces

Abrasion is best described as windblown sand cutting and polishing exposed rock surfaces.  

Abrasion is a process of erosion which occurs when materials such as soil or rock is removed and wears away at a surface over time. The concentration, hardness, speed and mass of the moving particles are the factors that determine the level of abrasion. Abrasion generally can be caused in four ways which are; by wind, by ice or glaciation, through the action of waves, and by rivers. Abrasion can be found on rocky mountains, on cliffs, at beaches, streams, and beneath glaciers.
