The features or characteristics of organic compounds include:
1. They contain covalent bonds and are mostly non polar in nature
2. Have lower boiling and melting points than inorganic compounds
3. Many organic compounds are thermally unstable, They decompose into simpler molecules when heated at fairly high temperatures
4. Most organic compounds are inflammable and burn exothermically in sufficient air to yield carbon dioxide, water and heat energy.
5. Most organic compounds being largely non polar are insoluble in water.
1.) Achodroplasia is a autosomal dominant disorder, the suspected case suggested that inorder for the parents to produce and offspring with achondroplasia. One parents must have a single mutant gene of achodroplasia to be inherited by his offspring. for this case, It is suggested that the offspring might have developed its own mutant gene as it only affect 1 in 25,000 birth. There is changes of genes during early development.
2.) The mother said that they don't have that history of disorder. again, it's autosomal dominant disorder. one parents must have that kind of disorder so their child can also inherit it. Thus, no of the childs parents is a carrier.
Correct answer: C) Nutrients are circulated throughout the biosphere
Biogeochemical cycles are cycles by which essential elements of a living organism are circulated continuously. It consider the biological, chemical, and geological aspect of each cycle.
The most important biogeochemical cycles are nitrogen cycle, carbon cycle, water cycle, oxygen cycle and phosphorous cycle.
Biogeochemical cycle always have a state of equilibrium, and the state of equilibrium is attained when there is balance in cycling of element among the compartment.
Answer:
Mitochondrial DNA is useful as a molecular clock because it displays uniparental inheritance
