Answer:

The hair is a nonhuman animal hair.

Explanation:

To decide if this hair is a human hair or a nonhuman animal hair, we need to calculate the medullary index.

The medullary index has the following formula :

MedullaryIndex=\frac{Medulla'sWidth}{EntireHair'sWidth} (I)

If we replace the data from the question in the equation (I) :

MedullaryIndex=\frac{58microns}{110microns}=0.527

The medullary index is 0.527

Now, the medullary index for humans is 0.33 or less while the medullary index for animals is 0.50 or greater.

⇒ 0.527>0.50 ⇒

We answer that the hair is a nonhuman animal hair.

How do invasive species change the diversity index
LuckyWell [14K]

Las especies invasoras son animales, plantas u otros organismos que se desarrollan fuera de su área de distribución natural, en hábitats que no le son propios o con una abundancia inusual, produciendo alteraciones en la riqueza y diversidad de los ecosistemas. Cuando son transportados e introducidos por el ser humano en lugares fuera de su área de distribución natural, consiguiendo establecerse y dispersarse en la nueva región se les denomina especies exóticas invasoras resultando normalmente muy dañinas
