Each gene occupies a specific position on a chromosome. Because genes provide instructions for making proteins, and proteins determine the structure and function of each cell in the body, it follows that genes are responsible for all the characteristics you inherit. These pair up to make a total of 46 chromosomes.
The answer is <span>D) The atmosphere has no significant role in the phosphorus cycle, but is an essential part of the sulfur cycle.
</span>
<span>Phosphorus is not abundant in the atmosphere. It comes mostly from the land and ocean. Phosphorus cycle through the lithosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere, but not the atmosphere. The reason for this is that phosphorus cannot be found in the gas state, unlike the sulfur. On the other hand, sulfur cycle partially occurs in the atmosphere.</span>
The mantle is made of a solid rocky substance.
In the scenario give above, the disease reservoir is the PARROT and the possible transmission method is INDIRECT CONTACT THROUGH AIR.
Disease reservoir refers to a source of a particular pathogen in an environment. A disease reservoir can be a person, an animal or an inanimate object like soil. In the case given above, the parrot is the disease reservoir and it passes the disease pathogen to the student. Pathogens are transmitted through four distinct ways, these are: direct contact, indirectly through the air, indirectly through contaminated object and through vectors. The disease pathogen was possibly passed to the student when the parrot was talking via tiny mucus droplets that escape from the bird's mouth.
