A substance that provides nourishment essential for the maintenance of life and for growth.

If you do not gain enough nutrients, a nutritional deficiency occurs (when the body doesn't absorb or get from food the necessary amount of a nutrient). Deficiencies can lead to a variety of health problems. These can include digestion problems, skin disorders, stunted or defective bone growth, and even dementia.

The ribs form from the ________. notochord neural plate neural tube somites

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

somites

Explanation:

Embryonic development looks like a chronometer. Next to the future spine, cells are differentiated with a certain spacing that scientists call "somites." These are structures that grow, change shape. Somites will give rise to vertebrae, ribs, and axial musculature.

Somites are transient epithelial structures. These structures form early in embryonic development and originate with other important structures in the vertebrate organism.

How can an individual with a recessive genetic disorder have parents who are not afflicted?

jonny [76]

Both parents must be carriers, which means they have the heterozygous gene (one uppercase letter & one lower case letter). They will still carry that mutated gene (because they have a lower case letter), and their offspring will have a 25% chance of getting a recessive disorder. The percentage is low but still possible.
