Q:

Heritable variation is required for which of the following?

A) Evolution B) Asexual reproduction
C) Mitosis D) Meiosis
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Evolution

Explanation:

Heritable variation is one of the four most important factors that affect whether natural selection can occur. These factors include

1) Heritable variation

2) Descent with modification

3) Struggle for survival, and necessarily if the others are satisfied

4) Survival of the fittest.

Heritable variation allows for possibly beneficial, negative, or even neutral mutations to get filtered during each generation by natural selection--weeding out negative mutations, passing on positive and neutral ones. Without heritable variation, species would quickly fall victim to parasites who take advantage of identical genetic material in a population and evolution would not occur.

Variation is the raw material of evolution.

Q:

Which statement best describes Arteries?

A) They have thin walls and transport blood away from the heart B) They have thick walls and transport blood toward the heart
C) They have thin walls and transport blood toward the heart D) They have thick walls and transport blood away from the heart
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) They have thick walls and transport blood away from the heart

Explanation:

Because arteries have to have thick walls for use of protection. Its when you get to veins where the walls get thinner. And the use of the heart is to pump blood to all of the cells and organs in the body so it would be to transport blood away from the heart.

i.e. 

Arteries = Away from the Heart 
Veins = Back to the Heart.
