23 individual chromosomes, 46 total. Cannot be more
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,

Answer:
excretory system and circulatory system
Explanation:
Blood is part of circulatory system and as it move through various organs it exchanges the gases i.e give oxygen to the cell and take carbon dioxide from them. After taking CO2, the blood becomes impure and hence it passes through the kidney before going to the heart. Kidney is part of excretory system which removes carbon dioxide from blood and thus purifies it.
