Answer:
Polygenic inheritance occurs when one characteristic is controlled by two or more genes. Often the genes are large in quantity but small in effect. Some examples include height, skin color, eye color and weight.
- In polygenic inheritance the "dominant" capital genes are additive, each capital gene adding one unit of color to the genotype.With more capital genes, the phenotype (appearance) gets darker.
Answer:
The person has been dead for approximately 15,300 years
Explanation:
<u>Available data</u>:
- The half-life of carbon 14 is 5,600 years
- The human skeleton level of carbon 14 is 15% that of a living human
To answer this question we can make use of the following equation
Ln (C14T₁/C14 T₀) = - λ T₁
Where,
- C14 T₀ ⇒ Amount of carbon in a living body at time 0 = 100%
- C14T₁ ⇒ Amount of carbon in the dead body at time 1 = 15%
- λ ⇒ radioactive decay constant = (Ln2)/T₀,₅
- T₀,₅ ⇒ The half-life of carbon 14 = 5600 years
- T₀ = 0
- T₁ = ???
Let us first calculate the radioactive decay constant.
λ = (Ln2)/T₀,₅
λ = 0.693/5600
λ = 0.000123
Now, let us calculate the first term in the equation
Ln (C14T₁/C14 T₀) = Ln (15%/100%) = Ln 0.15 = - 1.89
Finally, let us replace the terms, clear the equation, and calculate the value of T₁.
Ln (C14T₁/C14 T₀) = - λ T₁
- 1.89 = - 0.000123 x T₁
T₁ = - 1.89 / - 0.000123
T₁ = 15,365 years

Answer:
r u on edg
Explanation: if its edg i know it
Answer: It will affect muscle contraction because it is needed for the formation of muscle contraction cross-bridge.
Explanation: During muscle contraction calcium binds to troponin, a protein complex that regulates muscle contraction by exposing the binding site of actin filament. Actin filament active site is where myosin head binds to, creating a cross-bridge using enzyme ATPase to speed the reaction. Calcium ion are needed to activate troponin movement, otherwise it stays in its inactive form blocking the active site of actin filament. Without calcium ions, troponin will not move and there will be no muscle contractions.
