Answer:
Option-B
Explanation:
Heredity refers to the passing of the traits from the parents to the offsprings or generation and also known as inheritance and Genetic variation is the difference in the genetic material in population which leads to the formation of a variety of traits.
Since the variation in traits is determined by factors (Gregor Mendel) later called "genes" which are passed on to the offsprings, therefore, the branch of biology which studies the pattern of inheritance and variation is known as "Genetics". Gregor Mendel is known as the Father of Genetics.
Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.
Parasitism and autotrophism
The correct option is C.
Scientists believed that the earth tectonic plates are in constant motion, this motion is slow and its rates vary. The motions of the tectonic plates are caused by the convection current which is found in semi molten mantle. The convection current are created by heat within the earth surface. When a semi molten rock is heated, it become less in density compared to its surrounding and thus rises up. When the less dense molten rock reaches the crust above, it spread out and carries the tectonic plate above with it. When the molten magma cools down, it sinks and the whole process is repeated leading to continuous movement of the tectonic plates.
Haploid cells are found in the reproductive organs of adults, known as gonads. In males these are the testicles and females these are the ovaries.
