Humans shed their epidermis at the rate of 0.001-0.003 ounces of skin flakes every hour. That is roughly 0.024-0.072 ounces per day 9-27oz/year , or 0.55-1.6 pounds per year. According to the WHO , 70 years was the average life expectancy at birth of the global population in 2012

So , 70 times 1.6 is 112 pounds of skin cells shed over a lifetime

Is the phenotype that corresponds to the HbS allele harmful, beneficial, or both?

horrorfan [7]

Phenotype is referred to as the expressed trait that is caused by a certain combination of alleles.

<h3>What is phenotype?</h3>

Phenotype is referred to as the expressed trait that is caused by a certain combination of alleles. We will recall that the HbS allele is responsioble for the anemia that results from sickle shaped red blood cells.

This phenotype is both harmfull and benefical in the sense that it leads to the agglutination of the red blood cells in individuals that have this phenotype and eventual crisis. Also, it is beneficaila in that nthose who possess this phenotype do not suffer from malaria in the tropics.

Develop a hypothesis to explain why you think eurypterids developed legs even though they lived on the ocean floor.

expeople1 [14]

I think that since it lives on the ocean floor, at the deepest of the ocean. So anyway, the fin on the Eurypterids is still necessary but not that much, since they live on the ocean floor. Their movements mostly on the ocean floor. So fin would not help them "stick" to the floor. Also there are still gravity acts on the Eurypterids and the feet would help them move faster. Hope this helps.
