<span>Human skin color is a polygenic trait, which means that multiple gene loci (with different alleles) are involved in its expression. It has been shown that there more than 350 genetic loci involved in determining skin color. Because of that, there is the enormous number of possible genotypes for the skin color and as a result, the phenotypes vary from the darkest brown to the lightest hues.</span> <span> Different populations have different allele frequencies of genes for human skin color, and the combination of these allele variations brings about complex and continuous variation in skin coloration. Natural skin color can change due to exposure to sunlight (becomes darker) and that is the way it adapts to intense sunlight irradiation (protection against the UV exposure).</span>

The inheritance of skin color genes is polygenic, meaning that many different genes are inherited and none are dominant, but rather they all work together to create a special blend of genes that you have. This is also influenced by environmental factors such as exposure to sun and similar.

why do all organisms take in matter and rearrange atoms through chemical reactions to form molecules essential for life?
Tom [10]
Cause living things can not directly use most of matter which they found in nature. For example carbon, all organism use carbon in complex structure, that is in compound or macromolecule(glucose,fructose,amino acid). we can not directly earn ATP from C which we found in soil/other sources.

How can scientists learn about the mantle if they cannot study it directly?
Mice21 [21]
So by looking at the seismic waves from earthquakes the scientist learned about the crust and the mantle but they also learned about the outer and inner core. To do this you have to look at a different kind of waves, the S (secondary waves) waves that also get released by an earthquake.

Answer:

Complementary base pairing is the phenomenon where in DNA guanine always hydrogen bonds to cytosine and adenine always binds to thymine. The bond between guanine and cytosine shares three hydrogen bonds compared to the A-T bond which always shares two hydrogen bonds.

The Krebs cycle sustains itself as long as ___________ &amp; ____________ are present
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

Oxygen and pyruvate.

Explanation:

The krebs cycle is a stage of cellular respiration and occurs in aerobic organisms. In this case, we can say that the Krebs Cycle only occurs in the presence of oxygen, being essential for the completion of cell respiration.

The Krebs cycle only occurs after the completion of glycolysis, as it needs to be initiated by pyruvate, which is a molecule resulting from glycolysis. In this case, in addition to oxygen, the presence of pyruvate is essential for the krebs cycle to occur.
