Answer:
a. 1/2 b. The organism is an animal
Explanation:
a. What is the medullary index for an organism that has a medulla width of 2cm and hair shaft width 4cm?
Medullary index = diameter of medulla/diameter of hair.
Given that diameter of medulla = medulla width = 2cm and diameter of hair = hair shaft width = 4cm,
Medullary index = diameter of medulla/diameter of hair = 2 cm/4cm = 1/2
b. Is this organism human or animal?
Since the medullary index = 1/2 > 1/3 (if it is ≤ 1/3 it is human hair and ≥ 1/2 it is animal hair), it is animal hair. So, the organism is an animal.
The carbon dioxide breathed out is a by-product of the process of cell respiration, as is water. In this process, energy is produced in the mitochondria of cells. This energy is our physical "life force". Both oxygen and glucose are required for this.

The principal advantage of asexual reproduction is that the organism does not have to waste time or energy looking for a mate.
