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.

During periods of rapid environmental change, what may happen to a species that was well-suited to the former environment?
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

The environment usually refers to all the biotic and the abiotic components that are surrounding us. This environment undergoes changes depending upon various factors which can be natural and/or due to the anthropogenic activities.

When there occur rapid environmental changes, then it directly affects the lives of species, in different ways, such as-

  • Those species that are comparatively weaker in adapting according to the environmental changes that occur, will not be able to cope up with the new environment. They may become extinct.
  • Some variety of species will be able to adapt to the new environment because of their easily adapting capabilities.
  • The traits that will be developed within the species in the new environment will be more successful in terms of reproduction.
  • The previously existed traits may have a harmful impact in the newly formed environment.

Answer:

BENEFITS:

The Descriptive investigation is used to describe a natural system when nothing or very little is known about the system. Like observing a new specimen in the microscope and describing it by observing the specimen.

A comparative analysis is used to compare two or more variable in nature by collecting data like observing the different colors of the rocks. It provides the data to show the similarity and dissimilarity of the population.

The Experimental investigation is used where experiments are performed to test and answer the scientific questions. The advantage is that data can be used as evidence for future research.

LIMITATIONS:

<u>descriptive  method  of  investigation </u>

It cannot be used to correct variable or be used to determine causes and  effect  of  the  problem

<u>experimental  method  of  investigation </u>

It might create an artificial situation that do not always represent the real  life situation

<u>comparative  method  of  investigation </u>

It  is not easy to control other variables that might influence the study

An essay about AuthaGrpah, and why is the best projection map?​
maw [93]

Explanation:

AuthaGraph is an approximately equal-area world map projection invented by Japanese architect Hajime Narukawa[1] in 1999.[2] The map is made by equally dividing a spherical surface into 96 triangles, transferring it to a tetrahedron while maintaining area proportions, and unfolding it onto a rectangle. The map substantially preserves sizes and shapes of all continents and oceans while it reduces distortions of their shapes, as inspired by the Dymaxion map. The projection does not have some of the major distortions of the Mercator projection, like the expansion of countries in far northern latitudes, and allows for Antarctica to be displayed accurately and in whole.[3] Triangular world maps are also possible using the same method. The name is derived from "authalic" and "graph".
