The correct answer is B. Sensitive period
Explanation:
In development, the sensitive period refers to a lapse of time in which organisms are more susceptible or receptive to stimuli and therefore during this time there can be great advances in development. Additionally, different from critical periods sensitive periods do not imply irreversible consequence if the stimuli are not presented. For example, in human beings from birth to the age of 6 years, children are more receptive to learn and acquire certain skills such as learning a new language if exposed to it and therefore this can be considered as a sensitive period. Considering this, it can be concluded the definition presented refers to the Sensitive period.
Answer:C) Traits like this are determined by the genes passed from parents to their children.
Explanation: Every trait in an organism is controlled by a pair of gene. A gene that controls a trait usually have two alleles. During fertilization, for every pair of gene one allele is inherited from the mother while the other allele is inherited from the father and the two alleles come together to form a pair of gene. Every trait in an organism is determined by genes that are passed from the parents to the offsprings.
These are spores, which are produced by bacteria and are involved in survival or reproduction. Some different types include endospores, which are heat-resistant spores formed within the cell, cysts, which are dormant cells sometimes enclosed in a sheath, arthrospores, which are produced by different bacteria as part their reproductive cycles and myxospores, which are formed within a fruiting body.
