The notable
hardness of bone is attributed to the presence of inorganic hydroxyapatites.
Due to the calcium salts deposited in it, resulting to the hardness. The
abnormal hardness of bone, which allows it
to resist the compression.
My guess:
I do not know the options to the blanks, but I'd say that the answer to the first one is "strongly linked". Think of a chromosome as a phylogenic chart → 2 species that are beside each other are strongly linked, if compared to 2 species 3 spots apart form each other. So, 2 genes that are close to each other are strongly linked.
I do not know the options to the blanks, but I'd say the answer to the second one is epistasis → which is the interaction between two different genes (different means they're not linked alleles).
Hope it helped,

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
The law of independent assortment
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- The Principle of Independent Assortment illustrates how different genes individually separate from one another when reproductive cells receive.
- Independent assortment of genes and their similar traits was first mentioned by Gregor Mendel in 1865 during his studies of genetics in pea plants.
- When two or more characters are acquired, individual hereditary factors classify independently during gamete production, giving distinct traits an equal opportunity of befalling together.
Catabolism/destructive metabolism. Both terms are used to describe the process of breaking down complex molecules for its stored energy.
