The answer is B hope this helps.
Answer:
If he inherited a mutation which made him more susceptible to lung cancer, it may have been present in some of the gametes he produced and passed to his children
Explanation:
Even tho the cause of lung cancer is not very clear, a genetic predisposition is of a great influence, his smoking and therefore causing a lung cancer is not appliable to his children because of no connection, but in the sense of having a mutation which makes you predisposable to the cancer with or without the smoking, can lead to a high risk of gene inheritance and therefore inheriting the mutation with a high risk of getting lung cancer excluding the smoking.
Fur is an inherited trait of deers, but growing thick fur coats in winter may be an adaptive trait.
<h3>Inherited and acquired traits</h3>
Inherited traits are dictated by genes while acquired traits are not backed by any gene.
Traits may be acquired as a result of a continued adaptation of organisms in order to survive in an environment.
However, some traits evolve by natural selection as organisms continue to struggle in their environments. Such traits are selected for by forces of natural selection and have genes that condition them.

Answer:
B) the slow rate at which diffusion occurs over large distances.
Explanation:
The complexity of the respiratory system is direct proportional with the size of the organism. As an organism size increases, diffusion begins to take place over a larger distance and the ratio of surface area to volume is seen to decrease. In unicellular organisms, diffusion across the cell membrane is adequate for distributing oxygen to the cell unlike in multicellular organisms.
Diffusion is known to be a slow, gradual and passive transport activity. It is important that for diffusion to be a pratical way of supplying oxygen to the cell, the amount of oxygen intake must be the same as the amount of diffusion across the membrane. This implies that, if the cell happens to be very large or thick, diffusion would not serve as the best means to distribute oxygen swiftly and in the right quantitiy to the inner region of the cell.
We can say that reliance on diffusion as a tool of supplying or distributing oxygen and extracting carbon dioxide is actually attainable only for small size organisms or the ones that possess a highly-flattened bodies, e.g. flatworms (Platyhelminthes).
Thus, this accounts for why Larger organisms had to develop specialized respiratory tissues, such as gills, lungs, and respiratory passages in conjunction with a complex circulatory systems, to disburse oxygen all through their entire body and to compensate for the slow rate at which diffusion occurs over large distances.
Answer:
No, it is not correct.
Explanation:
No, this is not an adequate representation for the total number of genes in the studied organism. The reason is because we are looking for start/stop signals to make comparisons with a database, and only genes that encode proteins carry start/stop signals; therefore, the 20,000 genes that were predicted correspond only to genes that encode proteins, leaving aside others that do not, so the estimate obtained is not correct.
