of the skin.

Human skin color is a polygenic trait, which means that multiple gene loci (with different alleles) are involved in its expression. It has been shown that there more than 350 genetic loci involved in determining skin color. Because of that, there is the enormous number of possible genotypes for the skin color and as a result, the phenotypes vary from the darkest brown to the lightest hues. Different populations have different allele frequencies of genes for human skin color, and the combination of these allele variations brings about complex and continuous variation in skin coloration. Natural skin color can change due to exposure to sunlight (becomes darker) and that is the way it adapts to intense sunlight irradiation (protection against the UV exposure).

fredd [130]

The gestation period in cats stays for approximately 66 days and in every cycle a cat give birth more than 2 babies so if all cats are producing kittens at this rate, a prediction can be made that there will be lots of cats in our ecosystem. There will be cats everywhere if the number is not controlled.

As mentioned earlier, cats can starts reproducing at a young age of 6 months and right after delivery can get pregnant.

Guess what percent of your DNA is the same as the following organisms.A weed? % the same as meA fruit fly? % the same as meA mou
kirill [66]

Answer:

The correct answer will be-

1. Weed- 40%

2. Fruit fly- 60 %

3. Mice- 97.5 %

4. Chimpanzee-98.5 %

Explanation:

Charles Darwin suggested that all organism on earth have descended from a common ancestor.  The modern technology-enabled humans to sequence the genome of an organism and compared them with each other.

When the human genome was compared with the genome of other organism found the similar sequences in them like - Weed shared 40% of the genome with humans, fruit fly shared 60% genome, mice showed 97.5% genome similarity and chimpanzees showed 98.5 % with the human genome.

On the basis of this, the chimpanzee was found to be the closest species to humans

Answer:

hope this will help u

Explanation:

Biogeochemical Cycles

Human activities have greatly increased carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere and nitrogen levels in the biosphere. Altered biogeochemical cycles combined with climate change increase the vulnerability of biodiversity, food security, human health, and water quality to a changing climate.

Explore interactions between climate change and biogeochemical cycles.
