Answer:

Since they share common body plan (triploblastic and bilateral symmetry) and also have common key characters such as presence of notochord at any stage of their life cycle.

Explanation:

Organisms such as fish amphibians reptiles birds and mammals are grouped under phylum Chordata as they share common body plan and key characters. They all are triploblastic with three primary germ layers, bilateral symmetrical organisms that have the organ system level of body organization. These organisms have notochord, tubular nerve cord and pharyngeal gill slits at any stage of their life.

Hence, they are grouped under the same phylum.

Basically because they either have beating hearts, organs, skeletons, and more that plants and other things do not

Answer:

Allele frequencies in the population is 0.6

Explanation:

The first step in testing whether a population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is the frequency of an allele in a gene pool is the number of copies of that allele divided by the total number of copies of all alleles at that locus.

What are the two factors that define our traits?

coldgirl [10]

There are a few theories as to what defines our traits to create our personality

According to one such theory, Dan P. McAdams claims our personalities develop in three stages:

Our genes cause genetic mutations forming a 'draft' personality.During our early upbringing, our parents, teachers and friends treat us differently based on our looks and draft personality.Once we are older we then form a narrative of our lives based on our experiences growing up, and make decisions consistent with the character we have created.

So our traits started from slight genetic variances, which effected how we were treated, which then shapes our own self-narrative. So really, our personality is one big story that we tell ourselves, and our childhood was the prologue to that story.

Q6.7. During many epidemics, health-care professionals emphasize the importance of

Serga [27]

During many epidemics, healthcare professionals emphasize the importance of community mitigation strategies, such as wearing masks, frequent hand-washing, and social distancing because these strategies help reduce transmission even when drug-based treatments and vaccines are unavailable.

It is of vital importance in cases of epidemics to implement strategies such as:

Hand-washing
Wearing masks
Social distancing

in order to better protect our communities and ourselves.

Frequent hand-washing serves to eliminate the presence of a pathogen from the surface of your hands, reducing the risks that it will find entry into your organism or land on a surface with which others will come into contact. Should you or someone else contract the pathogen anyways, wearing a mask can help to reduce or deny the possibility of transmitting the disease.

Finally, should both previous measures fail, meaning that the virus or pathogen has infected an individual and penetrated the masks, social distancing can act as a final barrier that the pathogen will rarely be able to surpass, given that most pathogens cannot remain airborne over large distances.

For these reasons, healthcare professionals emphasize the importance of these strategies because they help reduce transmission until vaccines or drug-based treatments become available and herd immunity can be reached.
