In connective tissue, the role of elastic fibers is to __________. provide tensile strength retain fluid provide flexibility for
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

provide flexibility

Explanation:

According to my research on studies conducted by various medical professionals, I can say that based on the information provided within the question the role of elastic fibers is to provide flexibility. Elastic fibers contain elastin, a protein that acts like rubber and allows them to stretch and recoil like rubber bands, making them very flexible.

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.

An experiment that is most appropriate to prove the hypothesis that it rains more in the month of April than in the month of Mar
timurjin [86]

4. Collect and measure the amount of rain in March and in April

Explanation - Rainfall can be measured by instruments like rain gauge. But in case rain gauge is not available then the rain water can be collected in a vessel having funnel at the top.

Measuring the amount of water falling each day in the month of march and april would give the idea about which month has more rainfall. The measurement might not be accurate but it gives a brief idea about how much centimeter of rain is occurring in both the months.

The last time you saw the sisters pictured above, you considered how different protein molecules in their cells could lead to di
Andrew [12]

Answer:

recombination and independent segregation of chromosomes during meiosis  

Explanation:

Recombination and independent segregation of chromosomes represent the two most important meiotic mechanisms by which sisters from the same parents can inherit different gene variants and therefore look very different from each other:  

1- Independent assortment (segregation) of chromosomes: during meiosis, homologous chromosomes are randomly distributed in daughter cells (which will give rise to the gametes), and therefore separate independently of each other. It is for that reason that gametes have unique combinations of chromosomes, which increases genetic variation.

2- Recombination, also known as crossing over, refers to the exchange of chromosome segments between non-sister chromatids during meiosis. This mechanism is well-known to produce new gene variants (alleles) in the daughter cells. In consequence, recombination also increases the genetic variation of the resulting gametes that will produce offspring (in this case, different sisters).
