Consider that fossils of Homo erectus dating between 1.66 and 1.85 mya have been found scattered across Eastern Europe through C

hina and Southeast Asia and dating back to 2.4 mya in Africa. The earliest known specimens of anatomically modern Homo sapiens in Africa date back to roughly 200,000 years ago and 40,000 to 60,000 years ago across Europe and Asia, with some at 115,000 years ago in India. Additionally, Homo neanderthalensis was present across Europe by 150,000 years ago and then spread into western Asia. If there were no evidence indicating the presence of any other early Homo species in Europe, which of the following hypotheses might be supported by this information? a. Homo neanderthalensis is a possible common ancestor to Homo erectus and Homo sapiens. b. Homo erectus is a possible common ancestor to Homo neanderthalensis and Homo sapiens. c. Homo sapiens is a possible common ancestor to Homo erectus and Homo neanderthalensis. d. Homo floresiensis is the most likely common ancestor to Homo erectus, Homo neanderthalensis, and Homo sapiens.

Answer:

The correct option is option b that is<em> Homo erectus</em> is the common ancestor of<em> Homo neanderthalensis</em> and<em> Homo sapiens.</em>

Explanation:

<em>Homo erectus </em>appears about 2 mya, possibly during the Pleistocene  epoch and are considered as direct ancestor of human.They are called as upright man as they use legs for walking without any support.They are thought to be capable of doing certain things like hunting, starting fire,art making, create speech etc.

<em>Homo neanderthal</em> was the most recent ancestor species of modern human as they appear about 40,000 years ago.

They became extinct as they did't fight against environmental hazards and the major cause of their extinction that scientists have claimed that they did't adapt the modern techniques that the modern human does.

An albino woman marries a phenotypically normal man with no family history of albinism. What percentage of their children are li
maw [93]

Answer:

0%

Explanation:

This involves a single gene coding for melanin pigment in the skin. The recessive form of this gene (allele) is albinism while the dominant form is a normal skin. The question highlights that the normal male parent (dominant) has no family history of albinism, this means that nobody in their family has ever possessed albinism or has been a carrier/heterozygous for the trait. This is because a carrier/heterozygote will always produce the recessive trait (albinism) if crossed with another carrier or albino individual.

In a nutshell, the normal male parent is homozygous for the dominant trait. Hence, if a homozygous dominant male is crossed with an albino woman (homozygous recessive), all their offsprings will possess a heterozygous genotype and dominant phenotype. Meaning that none of their children will ba an albino.

Hence, the percentage of their child being an albino is 0.

What are Mendel's Laws?
Nady [450]

1. Law of Segregation: When gametes form, alleles are separated so that each gamete carries only one allele for each gene

2. Law of Independent Assortment: The segregation of alleles for one gene occurs independently to that of any other gene

3. Principle of Dominance: Recessive alleles will be masked by dominant alleles†

Glycolysis is an example of a metabolic pathway that is utilized by all human body tissues. Other pathways are much more promine
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

1. Liver

2. Liver and Kidneys

3. Mitochondria

4. Lumen of the small intestines

5. Liver

Explanation:

1. Glucose is phosphorylated into glucose-6-phosphate which is the first step of both glycogen synthesis and glycolysis, this process occurs in the liver

2.   Glucose 6-phosphate is a product of a process named gluconeogenesis which occurs in the liver it serves as a substrate for glucose-6-phosphatase in the liver.

3. Creatinine kinase is an enzyme that catalyzes the phosphorylation of creatine. In regeneration process of ATP, creatine phosphate transfers a high-energy phosphate to ADP which produces ATP and creatine

4. Initially lipase digestion lipase digestion happens in the small intestine where the bile salts reduce the surface tension of the fat droplets allowing the lipases to attack the triglyceride molecules. These molecules are taken up into the epithelial cells that line the intestinal wall, where they are resynthesized into triglyceride

5. The job of the liver is to produce ketone bodies. If the liver had this enzyme, the ketone bodies it produces would be immediately broken down by the liver before they are released, thereofore, no release of ketone bodies into the bloodstream
