Answer:

Human releases carbon dioxide during respiration and also certain activities performed by him  lead to generation of carbon which at some stage become the part of biogeochemical cycle.

Explanation:

Carbon is an elementary part of all living beings and thus is found in almost all the living organism and human as an evolved species has the ability to take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide.  

This released carbon dioxide enters into the biogeochemical cycles (predominantly the carbon cycle) and get converted into useful form again after going through a cyclical process via various biotic and abiotic stages.  

Also certain human activities like burning of fossil fuels, wood etc also releases carbon based product such as carbon di-oxide, carbon mono-oxide etc, . These products from unnatural process also become part of biogeochemical cycle.

Biogeochemicle cycles are the pathways by which a chemical substances (carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus) moves through biotic (biosphere) and abiotic (lithosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere) compartments.

Organic carbon is found in all land-living organisms,, as well as soils in form of the calcium carbonate. Plants and animals(including humans) utilize carbon to produce carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, which are then be used to build their internal structures or to obtain energy. Carbon is released into the air through the processes of respiration in a form of CO2.

The negatively human impact on the carbon cycle is through direct emissions from burning fossil fuels (transfer of carbon from the geosphere into the atmosphere) or through the process of calcination of limestone for clinker production, which releases CO2.

Scientist use data from Gregor Mendel‘s studies to conclude that information about traits is passed from parents to offspring th
vaieri [72.5K]

The correct answer is genes.  

A trait refers to the feature like size or color, which is passed from the parents and is inherited by the offspring. The genes control traits and come in pairs, that is, one gene from each parent.  

The transmission of hereditary traits possesses its molecular framework in the accurate DNA replication. This generates gene copies, which can be transmitted to the offspring from the parents. In plants and animals, the reproductive cells known as gametes are the mediators, which transfer genes from one generation to the next.
