Answer:

b. 17%

Explanation:

Let's begin by stating that the human genome possesses around 3,000 millions of base pairs.

Therefore, if this retrotransposon is around 1,000 base pair and possesses 516,000 copies, it will produce 516,000,000 of base pairs overall.

Let's consider,

516 millions

--------------------- × 100

3000 millions

= 17.2% (approximately 17%)

it gives us a percentage of the human genome which is for this transposon.

Oxana [17]
Star brightness is defined by either <span>D. apparent magnitude - when we measure it from Earth (that is how bright it is from Earth) - this is the closest to "basic observation" and the best answer

or by absolute magnitute - how bright it would be at a certain distance (this allows to compare the brightness).

Choose "innate" if the behavior is an innate behavioral adaptation and "learned" if it is a learned behavioral adaptation.
harkovskaia [24]
<span>Chicks hatching from eggs is an innate behavior. Innate behavioral adaptations are the result of millions of years of evolution. This type of behavior is already "hard-wired" in the nervous system of organisms and is usually inflexible. This is where a certain given stimulus triggers the exact same response over particular organisms through time. The same adaptation goes for other species that are naturally inclined to walk hours after their birth, like giraffes and elephants do. It is in a way nature's natural adaptation for species to survive through the course of time.</span>
