Answer:

Most biomolecules are organic compounds, and just four elements—oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen—make up 96% of the human body's mass. But many other elements, such as the various biometals, are present in small amounts. Sometimes polymers are also known as macromolecules or large-sized molecules. Usually, polymers are organic (but not necessarily). A monomer is a molecule that is able to bond in long chains.

A Kelvin (K) is a unit of measurement in the International System of Units. Which quantity is measured in Kelvin?

RSB [31]

The quantity that is measured in Kelvin is temperature.

Most of the time, especially in chemistry, they must convert Celsius into kelvin by adding 273.15 to Celsius. K = C + 273.5

Hope this helps!

3. Summarize the physical differences between the jaws of the gorilla, Australopithecus, and modern human.

Anika [276]

Answer:

A gorilla's jaw is different from a human's jaw due to the way that their jaws open for example a gorilla's jaw will open from the top of their head to even their bottom such as their jaw while a human jaw will open from the bottom.

Greece.

Between the 1st and 5th centuries AD, Indian art was influenced by the culture of ancient <u>Greece</u>. During this period, India was ruled by several foreign dynasties. The first among them were Greeks (called as Indo-Greeks) who had great artistic skills during the time. The Greek artistic influence can be seen in mathura School of art and Gandhara School of art--where the hands were Greek but ideas were Indian.

What type of organism would most likely be found in place of the question marks?

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

Decomposers

Explanation:

The diagram in this question illustrates a food web, which is a series of interlinked food chains in an ecosystem. In a food chain as depicted in the image, the arrows point to the organism that feeds on another organism. For example, an arrow is pointing from Idaho fescue to an Elk meaning that the elk will feed on that plant.

Different trophic levels constituting organisms exists in the food web including; producers (plants), primary consumers, secondary consumers, tertiary consumers etc. However, as observed in the image, a general arrow carrying along all the organism is pointing towards the organism in the question mark. This organism is called DECOMPOSER.

A decomposer, usually a microorganism, is an organism that breaks down dead organisms and returns the nutrient to the soil for recycling. All organisms in the food web will eventually die and when they do, they'll be decomposed by a decomposer. This is why the arrow pointing towards the decomposers include all organisms.

Achondroplasia is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder in humans. If a man with Achondroplasia ( heterozygous) and a normal wo

tresset_1 [31]

Answer and Explanation:

Achondroplasia is a form of dwarfism that affects the formation of cartilage; early in development, most of the skeleton is comprised of cartilage. Cartilage is a type of flexible, tough tissue; in achondroplasia ossification (conversion of cartilage to bone) is affected. Symptoms include an enlarged head, shorter upper and lower limbs, and limited motion at the elbow.

Punnett squares are illustrations that display the product of hybrid trait crosses by genetic breeding.

For this cross...

Assuming Achondroplasia= dominant

Parent generation or P generation:

gametes: An → Achondroplasia dominant (A), No Achondroplasia recessive (n)

Heterozygousity describes the allelic makeup; these traits comprise two varying forms of a gene. However, homozygous traits comprise identical forms of the gene.

Male: An → with Achondroplasia

Female: nn → without Achondroplasia

genotypes and phenotypes for parent and offspring...

Assuming heterozygousity of the male , for the cross

P generation: An × nn

Achondroplasia × No Achondroplasia

F1 generation:

genotype: An × nn ...(from punnet square)

phenotype: 2 with Achondroplasia ; 2 without

∴ 50% are genotypically heterozygous while 50% is homozygous , 2 with Achondroplasia ; 2 without
