In bone growth, the medullary cavity is enlarged because of the activity of osteoclasts. These are cells working to break down bone, resorbing old bones which will line in the medullary cavity. The cavity is also enlarge as the cells contribute to the increase in length and diameter of a growing bone.

Peat is a mixture of partially decomposed plant and animal material found in waterlogged, acidic, anaerobic environments. people
Verizon [17]

because the total time for restoration is lengthy, peat can be considered a fossil fuel. The correct option is B.

<h3>What exactly are fossil fuels?</h3>

Fossil fuels are fuels derived from the remains of dead plants and animals that decomposed over time under intense heat and pressure.

Because their replenishment time is longer than a human lifetime, fossil fuels are non-renewable energy sources.

Some examples of fossil fuels are petroleum, coal, etc.

The missing options of the question are:

  1. peat is a fossil fuel because rewetting it takes only 3-5 years.
  2. peat is a fossil fuel because the total time for restoration is lengthy.
  3. peat is not a fossil fuel because it has biologic origins, making it a biofuel.
  4. peat is not a fossil fuel because humans can promote the replenishment of peat.

The restoration process of peat takes a long time of more than 100 years. As a result, because the total time for restoration is lengthy, peat can be considered a fossil fuel.

Thus, the correct option is B.

Phenylketonuria, PKU, is a single-gene recessive human
astraxan [27]

Answer:

1/2

Explanation:

Let's assume that the allele "p" is responsible for PKU in the homozygous state. According to the given information, both the parents are unaffected by the disorder but have an affected child. This means that both the parents carry at least one copy of the recessive allele responsible for the disease. Therefore, the genotype of each of the parents is Pp. A cross between Pp and Pp would produce progeny in following ratio=

Pp x Pp = 1/4 PP: 1/2/ Pp: 1/4 pp

Therefore, the probability that their next child will carry just one recessive allele is 1/2.

Community ecologists study the factors that determine the abundance of different species. The Abundance of three algae species (
Tema [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

The abundance of three algal species in Lake A is now represented by the vectors:

[97, 84, 43] and [100, 80, 50]

Now if we look at Lake A, the change occurring in the vector of algae species can be determined as:

a = [100 -97, 80 - 84. 50 - 43]

a = [3, -4, 7]

Thus, the magnitude of that change is:

|a| = \sqrt{(3)^2 +(-4)^2+(7)^2}

|a| = \sqrt{9+16+49}

|a| = \sqrt{74}

|a| =8.6 \ mg/mL

The abundance of three algal species in Lake B is now represented by the vectors:

[25, 59, 22] and [20, 63, 15]

At Lake B, the change occurring in the vector of algae species can be determined as:

b = [20 -23, 63 - 59. 15 - 22]

b = [-3, -4, -7]

Thus, the magnitude of that change is:

|b| = \sqrt{(-3)^2 +(4)^2+(-7)^2}

|b| = \sqrt{9+16+49}

|b| = \sqrt{74}

|b| =8.6 \ mg/mL

Hence, for both Lake A and B, the magnitude of change is the same.

1. What percentage of puppies would have the same genotype as the<br> parents, Ww?
wolverine [178]

Answer:

50%

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene with two alleles W and w in puppies. According to the question, the genotype of the parent organisms are Ww. In a cross between the two parents i.e. Ww × Ww, the following gametes will be produced by each parent: W and w.

Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), the following genotype of offsprings will be produced: WW, Ww, Ww, ww. Hence, based on this question, the percentage of puppies that would have the same genotype as the parents, Ww are 1/2 × 100% = 50%.
