Answer:

An inherited trait is a feature or characteristic of an organism that has been passed on to it in its genes. This transmission of parental traits to their kids The study of how inherited traits are passed on is called genetics.

Inherited. Inherited means "handed down to you by your family." If your inherited traits include your red hair, freckles, and stubbornness, it means older people in your family also have them.

How does survival of the fittest help keep the ecosystem balanced

xz_007 [3.2K]

The former means those most fit, those with the best set of skills and features for the given environment, will live to pass on the said features in the offspring (with ants, for example, being incredibly fit and adaptable creatures). The latter suggests there is an objective way to measure the "meaningfulness" of each species and having only those most meaningful survive. But this differs from species to species - for a house cat, the great white shark is utterly meaningless.

Also, the meaningful animal has no actual advantage over another to help him survive, whereas fittness is exactly that - it is the ability to survive, ability to pass on your genes.

While I understand it may seem so in the case of domestic animals that the most meaningful to the human are those allowed to reproduce, it is actually the same law: those most adapted for human purpose (which, of course, in the given case means the most meaningful) ARE the fittest here in the human-controlled environment.

Using the key choices, identify each type of cartilage described (in terms of its body location or function) below.

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

elastic 1. supports the external ear

fibrocartilage 2. between the vertebrae

hyaline 3. forms the walls of the voice box (larynx)

elastic 4. the epiglottis

hyaline 5. articular cartilages

fibrocartilage 6. meniscus in a knee joint

hyaline 7. connects the ribs to the sternum

fibrocartilage 8. most effective at resisting compression

elastic 9. most springy and flexible

hyaline 10. most abundant

Explanation:

Cartilage is a type of <u>connective tissue</u> that is characterized by being avascular and very flexible. There are three types of cartilages that can be differentiated by their histological properties, their function and their specific location in the body.

Hyaline cartilage is the most abundant and can be commonly found in articulations.

Fibrocartilage presents a mix of cartilage tissue and collagen fibers, making it tougher than the other types.

Elastic cartilage is much more flexible because it has elastic fibers and is found in places where this flexibility is needed (like the epiglottis).
