Height in humans generally shows a normal (bell-shaped) distribution. what type of inheritance most likely determines height? se

e concept 14.3 (page 281)

Arturiano [62]3 years ago

I believe it is a combination of polygenic inheritance and environmental factors. Several genes control the height in humans, giving an overall normal distribution. Environmental factors on the other hand such as nutrition smooth out the curve. It is therefore important to note that Human height is a quantitative, or metric trait, that is, a characteristic that is measured in quantity, and is controlled by multiple genes and environmental factors.

evablogger [386]

Answer:

In humans, the major precursors from which glucose can be synthesized from are:

1. glycerol from triacylglycerols

2. glucogenic amino acids from protein.

3. Oxaloacetate formed from CO2

4. Pyruvate foem pyruvate carboxykinase

All there's are routes through which the body obtains glucose to replenish body glucose levels

lesya692 [45]
First, let's find the angle of inclination using the tangent function.

sin θ = opposite/hypotenuse = 1 m/2 m
θ = 30°

Assuming the ramp is frictionless, the force balance is:
F = mgsinθ = ma
Cancelling out m,
a = gsinθ = (9.81 m/s²)(sin 30°) = 4.905 m/s²

Using the equation for rectilinear motion at constant acceleration,
x = v₀t + 0.5at²
2 m = (6 m/s)(t) + 0.5(4.905 m/s²)(t²)
Solving for tm
t = 0.297 seconds

Using the equation for acceleration:
a = (v - v₀)/t
4.905 m/s² = (v - 6 m/s)/0.297 s
Solving for v,
v = 7.46 m/s

What is the name of the point where the two parietals articulate with the occipital bone?
atroni [7]

Answer:

Lambdoid suture

Explanation:

The parietal bones are two bones, located above the temporal, behind the frontal and in front of the occipital. The occipital is an odd bone of the skull, with important cranial joints and sutures. The lambdoid suture extends through the back of the head. Each parietal bone joins the occipital bone in the lambdoid suture, that is, the lambdoid suture is the joint in the back of the skull that connects the parietal bones with the occipital bone.

When scientists discuss the Sixth Extinction, they are referring to which pattern in the rate of extinction?
Travka [436]

Explanation:

The Holocene extinction, otherwise referred to as the sixth mass extinction or Anthropocene extinction, is an ongoing extinction event of species during the present Holocene epoch (with the more recent time sometimes called Anthropocene) as a result of human activity.[3][4][5] The included extinctions span numerous families of plants[6] and animals, including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fishes and invertebrates. With widespread degradation of highly biodiverse habitats such as coral reefs and rainforests, as well as other areas, the vast majority of these extinctions are thought to be undocumented, as the species are undiscovered at the time of their extinction, or no one has yet discovered their extinction. The current rate of extinction of species is estimated at 100 to 1,000 times higher than natural background extinction rates.
