Answer;

-Blond, blue-eyed, fair-skinned child with eczema

Explanation;

Phenylketonuria (PKU) is an inherited, autosomal recessive disorder, which affects the way proteins are metabolised. It is caused by a defective enzyme, which should convert the amino acid phenylalanine into tyrosine.

-It is results in a build up of phenylalanine, a state called hyperphenylalaninaemia which affects normal growth and development, especially of brain tissue.

-Infants with PKU are usually blond, blue-eyed, and fair, and often have eczema. The other physical assessment findings are not typically found in children with PKU.

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

Homo species have differences in brachial index, face and teeth size as compared with australopithecines.

Explanation:

Australopithecines were found in pleistoocene era and adapted to the bipedal locomotion but shows differences in walking style as compared to early homo species. They have large brachial index. The postcanines were large but incisors and canines were small.

Early homo species were found around 2 million years ago. They shows bipedal locomotion with different walking styles. The brachial index of early homo species was small as compared with the australopithecines. The post canines were small but incisors and canines were large.

Describe the mutation in a plant that could have a negative outcome for the organism
iris [78.8K]
A mutation in a plant that could cause negative outcomes could be the plant has less leaves, or isn't hardy enough, like other plants. It would die. A plant from an area like Chernobyl, that has been affected by radiation could poison other animals, or pass that gene along, and ultimately kill that strand of plant.

In 1665, a scientist named Robert Hooke examined a thin piece of cork through a microscope. The drawing below represents what he
-Dominant- [34]

The Englishman Robert Hooke (18th July 1635 - 3rd March 1703) was an architect, natural philosopher and brilliant scientist, best known for his law of elasticity (Hooke's law), his book Micrographia, published in 1665 and for first applying the word "cell" to describe the basic unit of life. It is also less well known that there is substantial evidence that Hooke developed the spring watch escapement, independently of and some fifteen years before Huygens, who is credited for this invention. Hooke also is recognised for his work on gravity, and his work as an architect and surveyor.


Hooke's Micrographia

Here, we focus on his pioneering work using the microscope to document observations of a variety of samples in his book Micrographia, published in September 1665.


Hooke began his famed career by initially studying at Wadham College, Oxford, where he worked closely under John Wilkins with other contemporaries, including Thomas Willis and Robert Boyle, for whom he built the vacuum pumps used in Boyle's gas law experiments. He also built some of the earliest telescopes, observing the rotations of Mars and Jupiter, and, based on his observations of fossils, was an early proponent of biological evolution. If that wasn't enough, he investigated the phenomenon of refraction, deducing the wave theory of light, and was the first to suggest that matter expands when heated and that air is made of small particles separated by relatively large distances, yet curiously Robert Hooke is somewhat overlooked in his contributions to science, perhaps as there were many people who wrote of Hooke as a difficult personality, being described as of "cynical temperament" and of "caustic tongue". There were also disputes with fellow scientists, including disputes with Isaac Newton over credit for work on gravitation and the planets. Though it must be remembered that Hooke lived at a time of immense scientific progress and discovery and none of the above diminish Hooke'
