3:they are usually microscopic
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
According to the theory of evolution,species which are better adapted to their environment tend to survive and reproduce in a population passing on these favourable characteristics to their offsprings.
During sexual reproduction, genes can be arranged in new ways from chromosomal crossing over and recombination. This introduces new gene combinations(genotype) and ultimately variation in the population.
This variation may also lead to the observation of new phenotypes in the population.
Answer:
The excessive alcohol consumption of the mother.
Explanation:
Alcohol consumption during pregnancy harms the developing baby, the foetus. This is because alcohol passes from the mother's blood to the baby's blood and this affects the growth of the baby's cell.
This causes severe damage to the cells of the brain and the spinal cord.
FASD - Fetal Alcohol Spectrums Disorder is characterised by growth and developmental problems and it can range from mild to severe.
Example is the baby having small head, narrow eye and behavioural problems later in life.
