klio [65]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The small piece of cartilage is called the xiphoid process.

Explanation:

The sternum, also known as the breast bone, is a flat bone situated at the central aspect of the anterior part of the chest (thorax). Several ribs attach themselves to the sternum through cartilage. The sternum forms the anterior border of the thorax alongside the anterior aspect of the ribs.

The sternum is divided into three parts namely, the manubrium, body and xiphoid process. Ribs are attached to both the manubrium and body. The xiphoid process which is the most distal part of the sternum has no rib attachment.

If a mutation occurs in a body cell and the mutation changes the phenotype of the individual, what will happen to the offspring
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

The correct option is B. The offspring will inherit neither the genotype nor the phenotype change.

Explanation:

Any changes which occur in the DNA sequence of a person are termed as mutations.

Mutations will only be transferred to offsprings if the mutated gene or sequence gets incorporated into the genome of the mutated person.

In the above scenario, the mutation is just changing the person's phenotype and it has not been incorporated in the genotype of the affected person. Hence, the offsprings will not inherit the mutation, nether in their genotype nor the phenotype.

Brut [27]

Answer:

Although the question is incomplete, missing options are

  • In 1997, they reduced their water consumption.
  • In 1996, they planted more trees to curb water pollution.
  • In 1994, they used only bottled water for drinking purpose.
  • In 1995, they complained about foul odor and taste in water.

Correct option: <em><u>In 1996, they planted more trees to curb water pollution. </u></em>

Explanation:

Among given options, a clear trend of nitrate level can be seen. <u>Initially, the nitrate level increased in water in first two years (1994 and 1995) and then it decreased significantly</u>.

From the conditions given in the question, the most probable answer is B the plantation effect (<u>phytoremediation</u>). During phytoremediation, <u>plants take up nutrients including nitrate</u> from the water via roots. This nitrogen is then used for the growth and development of plant body mass (e.g. amino acids). As more plants were growing in later years, higher reduction of nitrate was seen. Resultantly, in 1997, the concentration of nitrate was dropped to 7.3 mg/L.

The other options are not correct due to following reasons.

A. There is no information on water consumption in the question

C. There is no information on people's behavior on drinking water lifestyle.

D. Nitrate in the water cannot be smelled or tasted.
