Explanation:

A map unit [or centimorgan (cM)] is a unit for measuring genetic linkage. It is defined as the distance between chromosome positions for which the expected average number of intervening chromosomal crossovers in a single generation is 0.01. <em>Its relation with actual physical distances is inconsistent </em>because the number of base pairs to which it corresponds varies widely across the genome, it also depends on whether the meiosis in which the crossing-over takes place is a part of male or female genes (female genome is 4782 cM long, while the male genome is only 2809 cM long).

I hope you find this information useful. Good luck!

Monica [59]

For an organism to function properly all the physiological factors should be favorable. These physiological factors include water level, pH, temperature etc. To perform the basic function of the life, it is important to maintain the physiological parameter in a particular range.  

In case, these physiological parameters are not balanced, then the body of the organism does not perform well and causes illness.  

So, the first blank can be filled with temperature and the second blank can be filled with range.
