You start by answering the first question on the list which tells you what to do from there. Pretend your animal was a bird, you might have a key like this:

Does this animal have wings?
yes go to question 2
no go to question 6

Then you just continue until the list doesn't say to do anything else. i.e.:

Is the animal feathered?
yes bird
no go to question 4

Scientists can bioengineer skin in a laboratory to treat severe burns and other types of skin injuries. This bioengineered tissu

Answer: The cellular process that enables the cells to grow and develop into tissue is called MITOSIS.

Explanation:

The skin is the largest organ of the body that contains various cells which includes: the epidermal and dermal cells. With the various activities of man, the skin is susceptible to injury through burns.

The healing of the skin, especially injury sustained from burns involves the interaction between the different cell types. Recently, scientists can bioengineer skin in a laboratory to treat severe burns and other types of skin injuries which are grown from living cells.

MITOSIS is the cellular process that enables the cells to grow and develop into tissue. It is also defined as the process by which a cell duplicates into two genetically identical daughter cells.

The process of mitosis occurs in 4 stages; the prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. The various activities that occurs on these stages brings about the growth and the development of the cells into tissue.

Explain how the work of the following folks contributed to the development of the Theory of Natural Selection

EleoNora [17]

Thomas Malthus was economist who proposed that human populations grow faster than the resources they depend on which becomes limiting factor for them, causing the increase of populations but also increase of famine and diseases. As a consequence, the weakest members die. Darwin linked this with the “survival of the fittest" (naturals elections favors the best suited for reproduction and survival).

Georges Cuvier was anti-evolutionist and religious man, but he did have influence on Darwin theory of evolution (natural selection). He was against linear system of classification so, his believes that there is more than one lineage for species helped Darwin shaped his theory.

Charles Lyell geologists who believed that geologic processes that were at the beginning of time were the same ones that were happening at the current time (processes work the same way through time). He explained that slow changes built up over time, so Darwin linked that with the way that life on Earth changes. (small adaptations that accumulated over long periods of time change a species).

How is crossing over different than simply receiving a particular allele from each parent?

MrRa [10]

Crossing over gives the offspring sort of a genetic variation twist. This will mix our two genes and make them diverse, but together.
