Taxonomy is the branch of Science, in which we study the Classification of Organisms. On discovering an unknown organism, begin classification by looking for anatomical features that appear to have the same function as those found on other species.

In order to correctly classify an organism, scientists use many modern tools.

1.Morphology describes the physical characteristics of an organism. Typically, this is enough information to place the organism within a domain and kingdom.

2.DNA and biochemical analysis allow scientists to test less visible, but distinguishing, characteristics.

3.Comparing embryology allows scientists to group organisms that share common fetal development.

<span>4.Evolutionary phylogeny describes the evolutionary relationships between organisms.</span>These relationships are deduced based on shared traits that may have been passed from ancestor to new species. Traits may include physical traits (ex. presence of jaws), or may be genetic traits (shared genes).

Each of the following statements concerning hair is true except
Levart [38]

Answer: A. scalp hairs grow constantly throughout life.

Explanation:

Hair is a squamous keratinized epithelium which is consist of multi-layered flat cells.  Hair are made up of protein called "keratin".

The statement "scalp hairs grow constantly throughout life" is false because at a particular age or due to several factors scalp hairs stop growing.

Scalp hair growth rate depends on three main factors including sex (female hair grows faster than male), age (hair growth slows with age), and ethnicity (Asian hair grows slower than Caucasian hair).

Scalp hair growth stops because of  follicle devitalization when the hair length become two or three feet.

Hence, the correct answer is A. "scalp hairs grow constantly throughout life".

What three (3) factors determine the reactivity of elements? Explain and give examples of each.
Ivenika [448]

Three factors that determine the reactivity of elements are the valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost electron shell of an atom. The number of electrons in an atom's outermost valence shell governs its bonding behaviour. That is why in periodic table the elements were put together according to their numbers of valence electrons.

METALS

The most reactive kind of metallic element is a metal from Group 1 sodium or potassium.

An atom in Group 1 has only one valence electron.

NON-METALS

A nonmetal tends to attract another valence electrons to attain a full valence shell.

What is the purpose of the menisci found in your knee, jaw, shoulders, and wrists? Why might there be a meniscus there but not,
Blababa [14]

Answer: I believe Meniscus tears are not healed on their own.

Explanation:

Because the two most common causes of a meniscus tear are due to traumatic injury (often seen in athletes) and degenerative processes (seen in older patients who have more fragile cartilage). The most common mechanism of a traumatic meniscus tear occurs when the knee joint is flexed and the knee is then twisted.  The meniscus tear can only be surgically removed. However, in some cases people can live with the meniscus tear without any problem. Also, there are exercises that lessen the symptoms of this problem. The most common symptoms of a meniscus tear are: Knee pain, Knee swelling, Tenderness when pressing the meniscus, Popping or clicking inside the knee, Limited knee joint movement.
