What is Segregation?

Biology
1 answer:
Julli [10]3 years ago
5 0
Segregation is the isolation of groups with different characteristics than the main group being isolated for the reason of their differences. Examples of segregation in humans are found in 'The Help' and 'To kill a Mocking Bird', but this could also happened between large groups of animals, like when weak offspring are left to die.

Explain how fossils provide to evidence to support the theory of the continental drift.
grigory [225]
I know that you can think of some thing.


<span>Fossil evidence helped prove the theory of continental drift because similar fossils could be found on separate continents, in rocks of roughly the same age, surrounded by layers that matched each other, and in some cases, found nowhere else in the world.

Examples include Mesosaurus and Lystrosaurus. Both are reptiles found in places now separated by oceans. Neither could have swum such great lengths across salt water.

Another example includes the plant Glossopteris, a fernlike plant from about 250 million years ago. That plant has been found in small areas in Africa, South America, Australia, India, and Antarctica, all in small sections that lined up in Alfred Wegener's (the guy who developed the theory of continental drift) view of the supercontinent Pangaea. It should be note that those other fossils also lined up too. Glossopteris has a seedlike structure to it that was too large to be carried such great distances by wind and not strong enough (too fragile) to survive a trip by water. You ask what about birds? That's quite a distance for a bird to travel while carrying a large seed.

All of this together, along with evidence from landforms that matched up just like the fossils, and evidence from climate helped convince Wegener that continental drift had happened.

Explain in your own words an atom and an element.
Helga [31]

Answer:

Explain in your own words an atom and an element.

Explanation:

A particular atom will have the same number of protons and electrons and most atoms have at least as many neutrons as protons. An element is a substance that is made entirely from one type of atom. For example, the element hydrogen is made from atoms containing just one proton and one electron.

I need help pleaseee
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

With regard to bone decalcification secondary to hypocalcemia, what an endocrinologist and an orthopedist have in common is that they both focus on calcium levels.

Explanation:

Endocrinology and traumatology are two different medical specialties, however they can together treat a person with a metabolic disorder affecting the bones.

In the case of a person with thyroid problems, where probably the parathyroid glands are affected, there are low levels of calcium in the blood —hypocalcemia— which affects the bones secondarily by decalcification, both the endocrinologist and the traumatologist will coincide in the treatment of the serum calcium levels:

  • <u>Endocrinologist</u> will treat the hormonal problem that produces low calcium in the blood.
  • <u>Orthopedist</u> will indicate a calcium replacement treatment to improve the levels of the mineral in the blood, and restore the calcium lost by the bones.

The joint treatment of both specialists can guarantee the recovery of a patient with problems in the metabolism of calcium.
