Say you were 100 meters tall. In that case, the nerve impulse would reach your brain in about 1 second, since it goes 100 meters per second. You're a little less than 50 times shorter, so the nerve impulse must take a little less than 1/50th of a second. 

In fact, distance traveled = speed of travel * time it takes. Thus, 
time = distance/speed 
==> time = 1.7m/(100m/s) 
<span>==> time ~ 0.017 seconds, or about 17 milliseconds.


I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly.</span>

A scientist finds fossae on a bone sample. what can the scientist conclude?
STatiana [176]

Therefore, if a scientist has found a fossa on a bone he or she could conclude that the bone was joined with another bone in the skeleton at the place of the found fossa.

Answer:

The correct answer is - option C.

Explanation:

CFTR is a short form of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator protein which is caused by a recessive mutation in this protein. This mutation results in the accumulation of mucus in secretory organs.

As the disease is a recessive disease, for the mutant phenotype to expressed both copies of the allele required to be recessive.

The mother is negative for the CFTR. Hence, she will not transfer the mutant allele to her child So, the child would have a wild-type phenotype even if the father having two copies of recessive allele.

Thus, the correct answer is - option C.
