6 0

The term used for the condition, in which the uptake of nutrients from the small intestine is impaired is malabsorption.

The malabsorption is a condition, in which the small intestine walls become unable to uptake the nutrients in the blood. This condition can be caused by many different reasons, which affect the wall of the intestine. These conditions include infections, trauma, celiac disease, and surgery. Some diseases such as Crohn's disease, pancreatitis (chronic), or cystic fibrosis is also responsible for the malabsorption.

Virty [35]

Answer:

Big mammals as bears or Mammoths.

Explanation:

Neanderthal had a diet based in different food, for example, there are some evidence that they were feed on nuts, mushroom, and moss. The quantity of veggies were different depending the season and the region of the planet the neanderthals were.  Of course, most of their diet were based in meat, basically  of big animals because the evidence is that they had a digestive system appropriate to eat lean protein.

Studies of the bones and the coprolites showed a ratio of different elements as nitrogen and carbon, the ratio of the heavier element to the lighter, show the relationship among the meat/vegetable diet.

Phototropism is a reaction to environmental factors. It is a plant's response to sunlight in the form of movement. In plants, phototropism is very prevalent. In actuality, it is necessary for plant growth. Other plant movements also occur in response to touch, water, gravity, and other factors. Phototropism was discovered due to well-known experiments by Charles Darwin and Boysen Jensen.

There are two types of phototropism:

When studying heredity what is the relationship of DNA bases and traits?
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

Heredity is the study of how traits are passed from parents to offsprings through reproduction. Off springs cells acquire the genetic information from their parents. DNA bases (A,G,C,T) determine the nucleotides that will constitute the mRNA, the mRNA nucleotides determines the codons which codes for certain amino acids. The amino acids join during translation and form peptides that then join to form proteins. These proteins include enzymes that catalyses chemical reactions for example pigments of skin and hair color are produced by enzymes. Hence, proteins highly determine the traits acquired by a given organisms and therefore, variation in a gene in terms of the bases greatly affect the proteins formed hence influencing the traits of the organisms.
