There are some phylum including
vredina [299]

Explanation:

 

Worms are invertebrate animals with bilateral symmetry. Worms have a definite anterior (head) end and a posterior (tail) end. The ventral surface of worms and other organisms is the bottom side of the body, often closest to the ground. The dorsal surface is located on the upper part of the body facing the sky. The lateral surfaces are found on the left and right sides of the body. Figure 3.35 compares bilateral symmetry in a whale shark and a swimming plychaete worm. Organs for sensing light, touch, and smell are concentrated in the heads of worms. They can detect the kinds of environment they encounter by moving in the anterior direction

Alik [6]

Answer:

Explanation

The Axon or nerve fibre is a long, thin projection of the neuron or nerve cells that sends signals in the form of electrical impulses from the cell body (soma) to the synaptic terminals. The axons are of two types: myelinated and unmyelinated. The unmyelinated axons lack myelin sheaths which make the transmission of electrical impulses slower while the myelinated axons transmit electrical impulses faster.

What does it mean when a trait is independent from another trait? Give one example.
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

It means one trait does not influence the expression of the other. Example is given in the explanation section.

Explanation:

A trait is the phenotypic characteristics an organism possesses. It is determined and controlled by genes. According to Mendel, an organism receives two forms of every gene called ALLELE. Each allele of a gene encodes a different trait.

Mendel, in his law of independent assortment stated that the inheritance of a trait encoded by the alleles of one gene does not influence the inheritance of another trait encoded by the alleles of another gene. A trait is said to be independent of another if it doesn't influence the expression of the other trait.

An example is the seed colour and seed shape trait in a plant. The seed colour trait is encoded by a certain gene and its expression and inheritance is independent of the seed shape trait encoded by another gene.
