3 0

Answer:

Menisci are the semi-lunar fibrous cartilage of the knee which could be either medial meniscus or radial meniscus. The meniscus in humans is present in the joints of the knee, sternoclavicular joints, wrist and temporomandibular joints.

These menisci play important roles in these joints as they reduce the friction caused by the bones during movement. They also disperse the weight of the body of the humans as they spread the load of the weight of the body to different bones like the femur and tibia.

Which two globin genes are most divergent from each other? what is the percent amino acid identity between them?
tiny-mole [99]

Globin 1 and globin 2 genes of insects are understood to have diverged approximately 170 million years ago, through duplication, from a common globin gene ancestor. The two genes that code for haemoglobin have conserved regions; oxygen-binding and heme- regions. Globin 2 gene has lost the intron region that is still present in the globin 1 gene. The percentage divergence is 7.2% with 20 varying nucleotides.

(PLEASE ANSWER ASAP, WILL MARK BRAINLIEST)
noname [10]

The answers include the following:

  • Arrow F represents transpiration.
  • Matter is conserved through the process in which carbon from carbon dioxide leaves and enters into the atmosphere.
  • This process is a recycling of carbon in the carbon cycle because it involves it travelling the atmosphere into organisms in the Earth in a repeated manner.

<h3>What is Carbon cycle?</h3>

This refers to the  biogeochemical cycle in which carbon is  reused through different types of mechanisms and actions.

This process involves carbon travelling the atmosphere into organisms in the earth in a repeated fashion through methods such as respiration, transpiration etc which is how recycling works.

This is therefore the reason why it can be regarded as the process which involves matter and conservation and recycling.
