Answer: Minerals

Explanation: The body decomposes and after about 40 to 50 years bones are mostly brittle and dry with no traces of flesh. After thousands of years bones also disintegrate (decay) leaving brittle mineral frame. The life of bones is determined by the soil type its buried in, nuetral soils takes longer then acidic soil condition.

In this case osteocytes(bone cells) are the first to decompose followed by the cartilage and bone marrow, leaving behind mineral traces that scientist can study after thousand years.

Which of the following is an example of polygenic (quantitative) inheritance? a. the ABO blood groups b. Huntington's disease
ra1l [238]

Answer:Human height

Explanation:

Inheritance patterns are often more complex than predicted by simple mendalian genetics. When Mendel studied some phenotypic characters, like the human skin color and height, they were found to be an addictive effect of two or more genes on a single phenotypic character. These are called quantitative characters, which usually indicates polygenic inheritance.

The human height is an example of quantitative character, it is controlled by at least 3 genes having 6 alleles. 3 genes with 6 alleles from both parent can give rise to wide range of phenotypic character (heights).
