Biology
2 answers:
Bad White [126]2 years ago

Answer:

A. Heritable

C. Affected by the MC1R gene

D. Polygenic trait

Has evolved due to evolutionary processes such as natural selection.

Explanation:

Human skin color is a polygenic trait as it is regulated by more than one gene. Each allele of these genes has an additive effect on the overall skin color of an individual. Therefore, the trait is a continuous trait, not a discrete one. The genes for human skin color are transmitted from parents to progeny which in turn makes it a heritable trait.

The gene MC1R codes for melanocortin 1 receptor and thereby, regulate the skin color of humans since melanocyte-stimulating hormone binds to the receptor to trigger the synthesis of melanin from melanocytes. Evolution of various skin color in human beings is regulated by natural selection which in turn favors the skin tone best suited under the prevailing climatic conditions of a particular human population

How does reduction of air pressure affect evaporation of water?
san4es73 [151]
Air also affects evaporation,If a air pressure is high on the surface of a body of water,then the water will not evaporate easily.The pressure pushing down on the water makes its difficult for water to escape into the atmosphere as vapor... Temperature,of course,affects how quickly evaporation happens.

Alexus [3.1K]

The answer is; SET B

Polar molecules interact well with water because there are charged. Water molecules are partially charged (the oxygen end is partially negative while the hydrogen end is partially positive). Therefore polar molecules can interact stably with charged molecules. The hydrophobic end is non-polar and is ‘water-hating’. When mixed with water, the non-polar region clumps up  into globules so they don’t interact with water.

Compare biomes of North Africa and iceland
Travka [436]

Answer with Explanation:

"Biome" refers to the flora (plant life) and fauna (animal life) of a particular place. It also includes the climate and specific conditions that allow the living organisms in the environment to survive.

The biome of North Africa consists of both desert biome and rainforest biome. It can be classified into a "savannah biome." This means that both the grassland and the woodland co-exist with each other. On the contrary, the biome in Iceland consists of a "tundra biome." The appearance of this biome is uniform and it is considered the coldest among all the other biomes.

Both of the biomes in North Africa and Iceland are different owing to their temperature, precipitation, nutrients from the soil and so on. The savannah biome consists of both wet and dry climates. These seasons allow the growth of both trees and grasslands. When it comes to the tundra biome, its temperature is extremely low. Thus, it doesn't allow many plants or trees to grow. However, it allows the growth of some unique types of wildlife such as the "Arctic fox."
