Multi cellular organisms are made up of billions of cells each specialized to a unique role and these cells are organized into structural and functional units such as tissues and organs.
For each cell and organ to function optimally, it requires oxygen and nutrients and needs carbon dioxide and metabolic waste taken away in a continuous, never ending process.
<span>A mechanism is needed to accomplish the important function of transporting the relevant materials to and from the cell. The circulatory system fits this bill splendidly. It is a specialized organ system which allows blood and lymph to flow through the entire body carrying nutrients such as glucose, amino acids and electrolytes as well as oxygen to each cell, at the same time carting away carbon dioxide and all sorts of metabolic waste over to excretory organs to be expelled from the body.

Answer AND Explanation:
<u>FACTORS THAT CAUSE GENETIC VARIATIONS</u>
- Crossing over. At the chiasmata during prophase I of meiosis, breakage may occur and exchange of genetic information may take place. New gene combinations which result in variations.
- Independent assortment. The arrangement of homologous chromosomes at the equator of the spindle during metaphase of the first meiotic division is random. These homologous chromosomes segregate into different daughter cells which contain different genetic combinations which brings about variation
- Fertilisation permits parental genes to be brought together in different combinations. This is the cause of variations in members of the same family.
- Mutation is the spontaneous change in the genetic makeup of an organism. These changes may be inherited by the offspring therefore beginning variation.
