Although they exhibit a high degree of genetic similarity, humans and chimps are distinct mainly due to variations in

The genetic difference between humans and chimpanzees is  about 0.1%, on average. Although this huge genetic similarity, the differences between humans and chimpanzees can be attributed to how these genes are regulated. The same genes are expressed in the same brain regions in human, chimp, and gorilla, but in different amounts. Thousands of differences like these affect brain development and function and help explain why the human brain is larger and smarter. There is also a slight difference in genes (the 0.1% difference) which could seem small but has a big difference.

Punnett squares provide an easy way to predict the possible genotypes for an offspring, but it is not practical to perform a Pun
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

There are certain limitations associated with the Punnett Squares. They are not useful in case of complex genetic inheritance such as linkage between two genes. In case of linkages it becomes difficult to estimate the distribution of genotypes and phenotypes. For example in case of  Nail-patella Syndrome and gene associated with blood group two genes lie on the same chromosome in close vicinity and hence there are high chances of inheritance of these traits in the offspring from the parent thereby causing  random distribution of the two traits. This random distribution cannot be captured through punnet square.  

The same problem is associated in case where a single gene is determined by multiple genes with graded effects of each gene.

How does the skeletal system work with the muscular system
erik [133]

Muscles connect to your skeleton and they contract and move the skeleton along.

Explanation:

Your skeletal system is made up of cartilage and calcified bone that work together. They help the process of movement happen in a smoother manner. The calcified bones of your skeleton also work with the circulatory system.

A root is absorbing water from the soil, which route will the water travel inside the root?
WARRIOR [948]
<span>Root hairs and all active transport mineral ions are used by plants to enable water absorption. The route of the movement of water inside the root would be illustrated through this sequence:Epidermis (outside layer of the roots) --> cortex (ground tissue layer just between the epidermis and the root's vascular tissue) --> endodermis(a layer outside the vascular tissue;responsible for mineral uptake of plants) --> stele( tissues combined inside the cortex) --> xylem (can be primary and secondary, both originates from provascular tissue and vascular cambium,maturing to its inside, respectively) --> phloem (can be primary and secondary too, both originates from provascular tissue and vascular cambium,maturing to its outside, respectively --> cambium(a meristem originating from an apical meristem, gives rise to secondary xylem and secondary phloem. </span>
