Due to billions of years of evolution, humans share genes with all living organisms. The percentage of genes or DNA that organisms share records their similarities. We share more genes with organisms that are more closely related to us.

Humans belong to the biological group known as Primates, and are classified with the great apes, one of the major groups of the primate evolutionary tree. Besides similarities in anatomy and behavior, our close biological kinship with other primate species is indicated by DNA evidence. It confirms that our closest living biological relatives are chimpanzees and bonobos, with whom we share many traits. But we did not evolve directly from any primates living today.

DNA also shows that our species and chimpanzees diverged from a common ancestor species that lived between 8 and 6 million years ago. The last common ancestor of monkeys and apes lived about 25 million years ago.

Which scenario describes a way that an abiotic factor can impact a marine system? Liquid water turning into solid ice encourages
Sloan [31]

Answer:

Rapid increases in water temperature cause extensive fish kills

Explanation:

Biotic factors are all living organisms that contribute to an ecosystem. On the other hand, abiotic factors are non-living factors, such as climatic factors (temperature, rainfall, wind), edaphic factors (soil type, soil texture, soil aeration etc). Changes of abiotic factors can have a huge influence on living organisms of ecosystem. The effects might be benefical or harmful.

Some of the most common abiotic factors that can impact a marine ecosystem are water temperature, currents, light, alkalinity, oxygent concentration etc.

An astronaut is in a sleeping bag attached to a wall. When astronauts sleep in space, they sleep in small cabins or in sleeping
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Free fall.

Explanation:

When astronauts sleep in space, they sleep in small cabins or in sleeping bags that are attached to the wall or ceiling of the station. Everything is weightless as there’s no gravity in space. So while sleeping there is a chance of floating around and bumping into things. Astronauts use sleeping bags that can be tethered to the wall or ceiling to solve this problem. Also the tethered sleeping bags provide a normal sleeping environment to the astronauts  as they can feel pressure on their back and head.  Their sleeping cabin is well ventilated as they can wake up with breathing trouble as a result of the inhalation of their own exhaled carbon dioxide which formed around their heads as a bubble. They use earplugs and a sleep mask to block the noise and light and can sleep vertically or horizontally. Compared to earth, sleeping is a bit different in space.

Excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) produced nearly simultaneously by different synapses on the same postsynaptic neuron
lakkis [162]

Answer: summation

Explanation:

The process which determine if an action potential will be generated or not depends on the combined effects of the signal inputs from multiple sources of  synapse or from the repeated signals from the same synapse.  

If the input signals reach the threshold voltage, action potential will be generated. (all –or –none principle).Therefore, this  process is a determinant of  the likelihood of action potential generation  and it is called summation.

Summation is the ability to integrate multiple PSPs at multiple synapses.it is  the process that determine if an action potential will be generated by combined effects of inhibitory or excitatory  signals.

Based on the pathways and voulme of applied stimuli in the presynaptic neuron;

The signals can be temporal summation ( consecutive  signals  produced from the same  synapse)where action potential of high frequency in the PSN generated action potential in the post synaptic neuron, which summate with one another. Or Spatial where signals inputs are from multiple presynaptic cells.

Organic matter in soil is also called _____.
9966 [12]

Answer:

The correct answer would be humus.

Humus is the organic material of the soil formed by the decomposition of the dead plants and animals. It is thick and dark in color (brown or black) and can also be produced by the process of composting.

It is very for the soil as it adds moisture to the soil, enhances the structure of the soil which increases the aeration and drainage.

It favors the growth of organisms (such as earthworm) helpful for the growth of plants and adds lots of nutrients to the soil, specially nitrogen.

In contrast, loam is a type of soil which is composed of silt, sand, and clay in 40-40-20 ratio. Regolith referred to the superficial layer covering the solid rocks or bedrock. It is formed by the accumulation of soil, dust, broken rocks etc on the bedrock.

Lastly, talus referred to the slope which is formed by deposition of shattered rock debris at the base of a cliff.
