Like plants, human beings have similarities and differences. God gave us talents which He wants us to use. What can you do best?
asambeis [7]
Well, humans have talents. Whether those talents are god given is up for debate. I'd argue those talents are a result of millions of years of evolution and natural selection as proven by Charles Darwin, not given by an unproven deity, but I don't know what school year you are in so you may not have escaped the years where religion is forced upon you :P

Anyway, if you're being asked this question, what do <em>you </em>like doing? I'd say my talent lies in science, as I was the top performing physicist throughout my gcse years, and I love the subject. In my opinion what you do best is what you love doing most, as if you have a passion for something it will almost always be your best talent. I can't answer that question for you.

Sharing this talent to others is basically teaching and also spreading your passion for your talent to others. They probably won't ever be as good as you because they will have their own talents and passions, but you can give them an insight into it by teaching them what you know and encouraging them to invest some time into it.

sineoko [7]

Answer:

This question is incomplete as the term to match with the level of organisation is not included, the terms are;

circulatory system

cardiac muscle

heart

human body

The ANSWER is:

Organ = heart

Organ system = circulatory system

Tissue: cardiac muscle

Explanation:

The level of organization of multicellular organisms is made up of cell, tissue, organ, organ system and eventually organism.

- The tissue is composed of several cell, which are basic units of any living organism. Cells that perform similar function come together to form the tissue. Example is the CARDIAC MUSCLE in this question, which is a muscular tissue made up of cells called myocardiocytes.

- Organs are structures formed as a result of collection of tissues with similar function. For example, the HEART is a circulatory organ made up of cardiac tissues, connective tissues etc.

- Organ systems is made up of organs that perform the same function in a living organism. In the case of the CIRCULATORY SYSTEM, it is made up of organs such as heart, blood vessels, lungs etc.

In a particular family, one parent has Type A blood, the other has Type B. They have four children. One has Type A, one has Type
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is -

Parental genotypes: AO & BO

Children genotypes: AB, AO, BO, and OO

Explanation:

In the human blood group system, more than two types of alleles are present that lead to the existence of four blood groups in the human population.

Here, A and B alleles are co-dominant while the O allele is recessive to both A and B alleles in the ABO system.

The cross depicting the genotypes of children is

IA IO

IB    IAIB    IBIO

IO   IAIO   IOIO

In this cross, we get the same result as given in the question -

One parent has A and the other has B type blood while the children have all four types of blood groups One has Type A, one has Type B, one has Type AB, and the last has Type O. It is possible only when parents are heterozygous in their genotypes and not expressing codominance.
