Biology

miskamm [114]3 years ago
6 0

Elderly people are most at risk from minor trauma that results in serious spinal cord injury because of preexisting degenerative vertebral disorders. Males are more prone to spinal cord injuries than females but not as a result of preexisting disorder. This may be related to an increased involvement in contact sports or a propensity to participate in high risk activities. Neither females nor infants are at any particular risk for spinal cord injuries.

D) #recombinant=116+601+4+2+113+625=1462

   #nonrecombinant=2538+2708=5246

  RF=R/(N+R)=1462/6708=0.2

  E) I=1-Q

I-interference

Q-coefficient of coincidence

Q=O2Xo/E2xo(2xo-double crossovers)

O2xo=6

P=(distance from C1 to Sh/100)*(distance from Sh to Wx/100)

=(3.38/100)*(18.28/100)=0.006

E2xo=0.006*6708=40.248

Q=6/40.248=0.15

I=1-0.15=0.85

Discuss the importance of a balanced diet.​
Aliun [14]

Answer:

u need a healthy diet cause it gives u the nutrients and energy u need to survive. ur body is more prone to disease n infections if u dont have a balanced diet. immune system weakens if u eat nutrient-poor foods. also here's something i copy-pasted from a random website:

revents diseases and infections. When you eat the full range of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients you improve your immune system and your healthy diet may even help prevent diseases like cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and stroke.

Helps you control your weight. Most people at some point want to lose weight or gain weight – eating a balanced diet helps you control your weight and maintain it over time. It is not feasible to be on a weight-loss diet forever – a balanced diet is the only way to healthily control your weight in the long term.

Improves your mental health. Getting the right mix of nutrients can help to ease symptoms of depression and anxiety – looking after yourself by eating well is essential as you take steps to good mental health.

Good for growth. A balanced diet is crucial for children and adolescents. As the body grows it is important to receive the right nutrients so that cells are built and maintained and the body grows at the right pace.

Better skin and hair. A healthy balanced diet also improves your looks. Eating well contributes to healthy skin and hair and a “glow” that makes you look younger.

this isnt very science-y but i tried to help the best i could so this should give u starting off point. have a great day/night
