Answer: C) Iron-deficiency anemia

Explanation:

Iron anemia or deficiency of iron is a condition in which blood lacks adequate amount of healthy red blood cells. In this condition the body does not contain enough iron so as to produce hemoglobin. The blood loss from the body, inability of the body to absorb the iron from the food, pregnancy all can also be the cause of iron- deficiency anemia. For the identification of this condition the blood can be seen in the stool,brittle nails, weakness, extreme fatigue, and pale skin can be looked upon.

Thus C is the correct option.

Genetics is the study of ________.
butalik [34]

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.
