Answer:

A suture is a type of fibrous joint that is only found in the skull ( cranial suture). The bones are bound together by Sharpey's fibres. A tiny amount of movement is permitted at sutures, which contributes to the compliance and elasticity of the skull. These joints are synarthroses.

Explain how the process of meiosis relates to the way in which a child

prisoha [69]

Meiosis is a process where a single cell divides twice to produce four cells containing half the original amount of genetic information. That means that they will never be a copy of their parents because of their different genetic material. Characteristics, such as eye color, hair type and color, the shapes of facial features, and height and build, and attribute the combinations of these to the portions of DNA inherited from each parent which makes them different but still carry the DNA of their parents.

What occurs in a ribosome in the cytoplasm?

Yakvenalex [24]

A ribosome is a cell organelle. ... Ribosomes are found 'free' in the cytoplasm or bound to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to form rough ER. In a mammalian cell there can be as many as 10 million ribosomes. Several ribosomes can be attached to the same mRNA strand, this structure is called a polysome.
Ribosomal protein synthesis in eukaryotes is a major metabolic activity. It occurs, like most protein synthesis, in the cytoplasm just outside the nucleus. Individual ribosomal proteins are synthesized and imported into the nucleus through nuclear pores.

You have a 16N sack of potatoes that you need to lift onto the kitchen counter. You set up a pulley system with a mechanical adv

natali 33 [55]

A force of 8 N will be required.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Mechanical advantage is defined as the ratio of output force from a system to the input force into the system. A machine which has the mechanical advantage more than 1 means it requires less force to give more force as output. Similarly, when the mechanical advantage for the machine is less than 1,it means more force is required to give to achieve a less one.

Here in the question, the mechanical advantage of the pulley is 2.

Output force required to pull the sack of potatoes upto kitchen is 16N.

Mechanical advantage = Output force / input force.

Or, 2= 16 / input force.

So input force = $16 / 2 =8.$

So a force of 8 N will be required to pull the pulley.

For humans, freckles and broad noses are dominant to no freckles and narrow noses. Use the pinned square below to determine the

Gekata [30.6K]

If we name the gene for freckles with F, then the genotypes for having freckles are Ff (heterozygous), FF (dominant homozygous) and for no freckles ff (recessive homozygous).

If we name the gene for nose shape with N, than the genotypes for broad noses are NN (dominant homozygous) and Nn (heterozygous) and for narrow noses nn (recessive homozygous). A cross between two heterozygous:

P: FfNn x FfNn

F1:

9/16 are with freckles and broad noses

3/16 are with freckles and narrow noses

3/16 are with no freckles and broad noses

1/16 are with no freckles and narrow noses.
