Answer:

5 lumbar vertebrae

Explanation:

As you can see in the image I annexed, a typical adult skeleton has 5 lumbar vertebrae (colored in red), they are cylindrical bones located between the rib cage and the pelvis, they are the largest segments of the vertebral column. These vertebrae carry all of the upper body’s weight, they protect the spinal cord and nerves in the vertebral canal, they also provide flexibility and movement to the trunk region.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

To protect an endangered species, a group of biologists have decided to store the genes of the species. They think that this wil

Ganezh [65]

Answer is C. genome conservation.

A set of DNA, including all of its genes makes up genome of an organisms. Each genome contains all of the information needed to build and maintain that organism. The population of endangered species is small which suffer from reduced genetic diversity through inbreeding.

In conservation genomics, the study of genetic diversity in all genes is carried out for better understand their implications to ecology, health, and disease. This random loss of genetic diversity in diminishing populations is a process known as ‘genetic drift’ and is further complicated by ‘inbreeding depression’, where related individuals breed with each other which results in further loss of genetic diversity.

Using genome editing techniques to carefully reintroduce the lost genetic diversity back into the current, endangered population.
