What percent of road collisions occur because of mechanical failures?

1 answer:

8 0

The percentage of road collisions caused by mechanical failures really varies from country to country, and also we have to take in consideration the drive park of a certain country. The percentages of this type of collisions are 2-3% in more developed countries, and as the economy of the countries is poorer usually the percentage increases up to 12% and even 20% in some cases. This is due to the fact that in more developed countries people usually drive new cars, in the transitioning countries big portion of the drive park is consisted of second hand vehicles, thus the chances of mechanical failure increases, and in the developing countries there's often vehicles older then 20 years on the road so the chances of mechanical failures are much higher.

Describe how the fossil record could be used by scientists to help explain the evolution of a species. Justify your response in

Virty [35]

Answer:

You could use the fossil record to help explain the evolution of a species by watching how it aged, what it ate, how it breed and where it lived along with a million of other things. It could have lived in the 20 below freezing and then you find that same fossil in the warmest place in the world it shows that the species either adapted or possibly had an offspring that could handle the high temperatures.

As a small change in a person's DNA can cause a genetic disorder

zzz [600]

Affirmative, that is correct.

A genetic disorder is nothing more than an abnormal occurrence in a genome, which means that if you change DNA you'll change the genome, and if the change isn't acceptable, genetic disorders can occur easily.

Genetic disorders is a fun field within genetics, and it isn't easy. The functioning of a gene might be an easy concept now a days, but we haven't mastered it. For example, it's not like maths:

- Somebody comes up with a new, unsolved problem, and tries to solve it, and while doing that, the person can create laws, theorems, equations, etc.

Once you come up against a genetic disorder (you can't just create a genetic disorder to study it) you have to study the genetic disorder itself, what caused it and why.

Hope it helped,
