“Heredity and environment play an important role in determining human development and behavior”.

Biology

vovikov84 [41]3 years ago

Answer:

Heredity is a term that refers to something we have gained from our parents, they can be some physical traits like appearance or behavioral traits like generosity, ethics etc.

When we talk about development of an individual, science has proved that both heredity and environment play a crucial role. There is no doubt that certain things are predetermined in our genetic make up like our height, weight and complexion etc but there are several ways in which environment influences and modifies those traits.

Let's take some examples:

  • A kid is born in Africa whose parents inherited just appropriate and ideal height and intelligence to him, But he was surrounded by the conditions where he could not get sufficient food , minerals and nutrients that hindered  not only his physical growth and development but his intelligence level did not reach that potential too that was predetermined in  his genes. So, we can say that environment influenced the kid and modified the traits he inherited from parents.
  • Similarly, there are many boys that inherit fair complexions from their parents but they have a lot of sun exposure due to out door sports and activities. So, parents observe that after teens their complexion is getting towards darker tone although in preadolescence they were just as fair as other siblings. This is proven by studies that sun exposure turns the skin tan and darker than original tone.

Therefore, we can say that both Heredity and environment play an important role in determining human development and behavior.

The epiglottis is pushed downward and the larynx is lifted up to meet it when we swallow. True False
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

The correct answer is true.

Explanation:

Swallowing of food is the process of passing the food from the mouth to the stomach through the way of the throat (pharynx) and esophagus. This process takes place in three stages:  oral, pharyngeal, and esophageal stages  

During the pharyngeal stage, epiglottis which is a leaf-shaped flap of cartilage located at top of the larynx (a muscular organ forming voice box) perform functions in response to the swallowed food as the larynx lift up or rises inside the neck to close the epiglottis while the epiglottis moves downward to cover it, providing more airway protection.

Thus, true is the correct answer.

Anemic conditions in agriculture animals result in a (blank) condition
AURORKA [14]

Make an appointment with your doctor if you're feeling fatigued for unexplained reasons. Some anemias, such as iron deficiency anemia or vitamin B-12 deficiency, are common.

Fatigue has many causes besides anemia, so don't assume that if you're tired you must be anemic. Some people learn that their hemoglobin is low, which indicates anemia, when they go to donate blood. If you're told that you can't donate blood because of low hemoglobin, make an appointment with your doctor.

The use of restriction enzymes and electrophoresis to generate a map of the DNA molecule is known as
Lerok [7]

The use of restriction enzymes and electrophoresis to generate a map of the DNA molecule is known as RESTRICTION MAPPING. This technique is used to map an unknown fragment of DNA.

Restriction enzymes are enzymes that cut a DNA fragment at specific nucleotides sites, thereby generally smaller fragments of DNA.

Restriction mapping is a strategy used to map unknown fragments of DNA by digesting them into smaller fragments and then identifying the specific sites of the DNA breakpoints.

Restriction mapping can then be used to create a diagram of fragments of DNA marked with specific sites where they are cut by specific restriction enzymes.
