Answer: Polygenic inheritance
Explanation:
Polygenic inheritance is a phenomenon that explains how a character like skin color show a range of more or less continuous variation due to many genes controlling it. And this is unlike Mendel traits that are controlled by single genes.
So, skin color in an individual is expressed as red hair and pale skin.
Answer:
The statement that is true about red currents in the thermohaline circulation is that water in the red currents contain less salt (option A).
Explanation:
Thermohaline circulation is a concept used in oceanography, referring to the oceanic circulation that depends on factors such as surface heat and salinity, as well as the density gradient that they determine.
On a map, the different currents that are part of the thermohaline circulation are usually represented with blue and red lines, where:
- <em>The blue lines represent deep, cold, dense and higher salinity currents.</em>
- <em>The red lines represent surface currents, warm, with less salt content, so they are less dense.</em>
The red currents (see image) represented on the map have less salt content, compared to the currents represented in blue.

Functionality of Genes and chromosomes is described below.
Explanation:
- Genes are segments of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) that contain the code for a specific protein that functions in one or more types of cells in the body. Chromosomes are structures within cells that contain a person's genes.
- Genes are contained in chromosomes, which are in the cell nucleus.
- A chromosome contains hundreds to thousands of genes.Every normal human cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 46 chromosomes.
- A trait is any gene-determined characteristic and is often determined by more than one gene.Some traits are caused by mutated genes that are inherited or that are the result of a new gene mutation.
- The body produces thousands of different enzymes. Thus, the entire structure and function of the body is governed by the types and amounts of proteins the body synthesizes. Protein synthesis is controlled by genes, which are contained on chromosomes.
- the genotype is a complete set of instructions on how that person’s body synthesizes proteins and thus how that body is supposed to be built and function.
- The phenotype is the actual structure and function of a person’s body. The phenotype is how the genotype manifests in a person—not all the instructions in the genotype may be carried out (or expressed). Whether and how a gene is expressed is determined not only by the genotype but also by the environment (including illnesses and diet) and other factors, some of which are unknown.
- A karyotype is a picture of the full set of chromosomes in a person’s cells.

Answer:
B
Explanation:
The net movements of water from the region of higher water potential to the region of low water potential through a selectively permeable membrane is osmosis. It is a form of diffusion which involves the transport of water molecules.
In this present scenario water molecules pass through the selectively permeable membrane from higher water potential in the body, to lower water potential but high solute potential (Epsom salts). The later is called an hypertonic solution,this is because it has higher solute potential ,thus higher salt concentration than the surrounding medium,therefore water pass by osmosis into the Epsom salts.
If one is placed in this solution,the cells shrink as they lose water to the more concentrated Epsom.(hypertonic solution)
However, the body homeostatic mechanism through the kidney ensure re-absorption of fluid back to the body from the DCT and CT, via anti diuretic hormone to preserve the cell and the person.
