Biology

Explanation:

A map unit [or centimorgan (cM)] is a unit for measuring genetic linkage. It is defined as the distance between chromosome positions for which the expected average number of intervening chromosomal crossovers in a single generation is 0.01. <em>Its relation with actual physical distances is inconsistent </em>because the number of base pairs to which it corresponds varies widely across the genome, it also depends on whether the meiosis in which the crossing-over takes place is a part of male or female genes (female genome is 4782 cM long, while the male genome is only 2809 cM long).

I hope you find this information useful. Good luck!

(Drawbacks of modern taxonomy) :it is based on physical traits and it is also physically similar and species may not be related and it does not use molecular evidence

Alekssandra [29.7K]
Two traits that represent a sustainable society is an emphasis on egalitarianism - where there would be a tendency to strive towards a society of equals. Another would be an emphasis on using renewable energy. 

On the other hand, an unsustainable society would have an emphasis on using fossil fuels due to being cheaper and having an ever-increasing productions of goods, not considering how taxing this might be on the planet.
