The answer is; It provided clues for scientists to develop a hypothesis about the origin of flight.
Scientists now postulate that dinosaurs are the ancestors of birds. This because the Microraptor is a dinosaur with feathers in all its limbs. It is also the smallest dinosaur to every been discovered and has been compared with the Archaeopteryx (involving even genetic sequencing) to hypothesize how dinosaurs evolved into birds.
Answer:
different assessments of environmental factors
Explanation:
In humans, for predicting the future phenotype of any individual, the PSR is used.
A trait may be defined as the state of a character that is a distinct variation of the phenotypic characteristic of any organism.
The following factors contributes to the differences in the complex trait risk predictions in the different laboratories :
-- differing methods of the combining risk from the multiple genetic variants.
-- genotyping of the different variants.
-- selection of the different genetic variants for such risk determination.
Thus the factor which does not contribute is :
"different assessments of the environmental factors."
Without agriculture my life would be different as I would not have acsess to all these fresh fruot and vegetables we have today. Our diets would have to adapt to more unnatural food, and our bodies would not be as healthy as they are now.
Answer:
- Parallel arrangement of collagen fibers: Dense regular connective tissue (CT)
- Transports oxygen and hormones: Bood
- Contains chondrocytes: Cartilage
- Stores minerals: Bone
- Random arrangement of collagen fibers: Dense irregular connective tissue (CT)
- Cushions and insulates: Adipose tissue
Explanation:
The dense regular connective tissue (CT) is a type of connective tissue composed of collagen fibers arranged in a parallel pattern which provides a strong association between tissues (e.g., tendons and ligaments). Conversely, in dense irregular connective tissue, collagen fibers are not arranged in parallel bundles (e.g., the dermis in the skin and lamina propria in the gastrointestinal tract). Cartilage is a type of flexible connective tissue composed of chondrocytes, the unique type of cells in cartilage tissues. Chondrocytes are responsible to produce and maintain the collagen extracellular matrix (ECM) which is composed mainly of collagen and proteoglycans (proteins coated with sugar molecules). Bone is a type of connective tissue composed of cells (i.e., osteoblasts, bone lining cells, osteocytes, and osteoclasts), fibers and ground substance. Bones have many functions including, among others, store minerals (calcium and phosphate), protect internal organs, allow movement, provide internal support, etc. Blood is a type of connective tissue (because blood has a matrix) whose main function is to transport oxygen (O2) and essential substances (e.g., nutrients, hormones, etc) to the tissues, and carbon dioxide (CO2) from the tissues to the lungs. Blood contains two different types of cells: red blood cells (i.e., erythrocytes) and white blood cells (i.e., leukocytes). Finally, adipose tissue is a special type of connective tissue in the subcutaneous layer that helps to cushion and insulate the body (providing insulation from heat and cold). Adipose tissue is composed mostly of adipocytes, which are cells that store energy in the form of lipid molecules.
