Answer:

Genome

Explanation:

All living organisms contain a certain number of chromosomes that make up their genetic composition. This genetic composition is the organism's GENOME. Genome refers to the total and complete set of genes or genetic content in the cell of an organism. Human beings are diploid organisms that contains a total of 23 pairs of chromosomes with each pair contributed by each parent.

These 23 pairs of chromosomes or 46 chromosomes present in the nucleus contains all the DNA, genes and nucleotide sequences of a human cell, hence, it accounts for the total genetic makeup of humans. This means that the 23 pairs of chromosomes contained in the cell of a human makes up our genome.

_____________ is the view that not everything about an organism can be understood or predicted from the knowledge of its compone
mamaluj [8]

Answer: Holism

Explanation:

Holism is a theory which suggests that parts of the organism are connected, these cannot function independently but as a part of whole organism.

This can be understood as organism as whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

Thus everything about an organism can be understood through the components that is if a person is suffering from brain disease then this may affect the control and coordination of the body this is likely to affect the whole organism.

What were the two driving forces that drove the evolution in the variation of skin color
yarga [219]

Answer:

The correct answer is: geography and UV radiation.

Explanation:

Skin variation occurred thanks to evolution, and was driven as a consequence of the geographical location of different populations of humans.

The humans that lived in hot and sunny places, closer to the equator, where much more exposed to the sun's ultraviolet radiation. In order to survive the amount of UV lights that they were exposed to, new humans in those regions were being born with a darker skin tone, which was rich in melanin (a brown pigment that protects us from the sun radiation).

Contrary to these humans that lived in the tropical areas, the humans that populated the areas that were closer to the poles, developed much lighter skin as a result of lower amounts of melanin in their skin. Since sun exposure in the poles is very limited, humans needed to receive as much as they could for the production of Vitamin D, and thus, their skins got lighter and less protected.
