8 0

Answer: Lower lumbar

Explanation:

The spinal column is refered to as the vertebral column and it's the central axis of skeleton. It supports the trunk, provides attachments to muscles, and helps in the protection of the spinal cord.

The area of the spinal column that is subject to the greatest mechanical stress and degenerative changes is Lower lumbar.

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

Over population

Explanation:

With the coyotes gone, they're prey will have little to no predators. Without their numbers decreasing as quickly (because of the coyote population drop) they will be able to repopulate quicker and less of them will die. This will lead to over population.

Process where air in the lower atmosphere flows together resulting in mid-afternoon thunderstorms.
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

Small scale convergence

Explanation:

This term in meteorology occurs in a convergence zone; a region in the atmosphere where two air flows meet and interact, usually resulting in major weather conditions. A Small-scale convergence will produce situations ranging from isolated cumulus clouds to large areas of thunderstorms.

Explanation:

Shotgun sequencing is a method used to determine the nucleotide sequence of entire chromosomes/genomes. This sequencing method consists of obtaining random DNA fragments which are subsequently classified by bioinformatic tools that ordering them according to overlapping sequences called contigs. In the whole-genome shotgun (WGS) technique, the entire genome of an organism is sequenced, being the critical factor the depth of sequencing, which refers to the quality of the sequencing reads (e.g., a depth of 20X indicates that the genome is sequenced 20 times by a sequencing machine). For the human genome, WGS became available after the completion of the Human Genome Project (HGP), which enabled the generation of a reference sequence for the whole human genome. The steps of the WGS technique are the following:

1. Preparation of isolated chromosomes

2. The DNA is sheared into small fragments

3. The DNA fragments of about 1 kilobase (1000 base pairs) are incorporated into plasmids which are cloned to render pure samples of each DNA fragment

4. The plasmid clones are sequenced by sequencing machines

5. Bioinformatic tools finally are used to link DNA fragments by their overlapping ends
