Answer:

Answered below.

Explanation:

The fossil records are beneficial in giving us. wide range of knowledge about fossils but sometimes these records are flawed, in that they are incomplete or misleading.

Many of the fossil records available are incomplete because some animals tend to decay within a short period of time due to their soft tissue. Also some are destroyed due to the movement of tectonic plates over time.

Another flaw scientists encounter is that there are no fossils which illustrate or represent the orderly transition from one organism to another. Fossils generally do not support the Darwinian theory of evolution as no evidence is found of ordered, sequential transition from simple to complex life forms as postulated.

These flaws are significant because they influence our knowledge and understanding of life forms and evolution.

4) The simplest type of response is a direct one-to-one stimulus-response reaction. A change in the environment is the stimulus; the reaction of the organism to it is the response. In single-celled organisms, the response is the result of a property of the cell fluid called irritability.

5) During meiosis, the cells needed for sexual reproduction divide to produce new cells called gametes. Gametes contain half as many chromosomes as the other cells in the organism, and each gamete is genetically unique because the DNA of the parent cell is shuffled before the cell divides.

6)Producers can make their own food by capturing the sun's energy, but consumers and decomposes can't. Consumers need to eat other organisms to obtain energy. Decomposes are like the recycles of nature. They obtain energy for their own needs while returning simple molecules to the environment.

7)The birds are growing up into a larger bird.

8) Cells manage a wide range of functions in their tiny package growing, moving, housekeeping, and so on and most of those functions require energy. But how do cells get this energy in the first place? And how do they use it in the most efficient manner possible?

9)Aside from the fact that fish,and trees can be aged in similar ways (by counting annual growth rings), new research shows that all three also respond to climate change in similar ways.


10)No we will not be able to survive cause there is no food or water and it is only oxygen of course you will be able to breathe but not eat or drink.

explain why a father with blood group AB cannot donate for a child with blood group O when he marries a woman with blood group O
denis-greek [22]

The odds are astronomical for a father with AB(IV) to have an O(I) child. The only possible way for this phenomenon to occur is if there was a nondisjunction in the ovogenesis for the 9th chromosome and the father also had a nondisjunction for the same chromosome(A sperm cell with no 9th chromosome fertilized an ovum with two 9 chromosomes).

A person with AB cannot donate to a person with O because the receiver has antibodies(alpha and beta) that bind to the antigens on the AB blood cells, causing death.
