Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete because of the absence of options but the complete question is in the attached picture below.

The human genome is the basic genetic code, or blueprint, for the transfer of traits from parents to offspring through -hereditary transmission- . Studying this code -has revealed- ways to partially correct genetic defects after birth. It is already clear that behavior is rarely controlled by -a single gene- . Rather, almost all behavior involves -multiple genes- , and often specific -environmental- factors influence how genes are expressed.

It would be noted that some of the options were not chosen at all, this is because this question focuses on genes and it's expression. "Nurture and education" and "psychological" are not factors that actually affect gene expression. Also, studying genetic codes has already revealed partial ways to correct genetic defects and hence it would be wrong to choose "may in time reveal". For instance, there are procedures used to identify genetic defects in the spermatozoa of a male which can be screened out and the "good" sperm used to fertilize an egg in-vitro.

What is a way for scientists to find out out about the internal pats of life science specimens. (I'm doing a crossword and I don

Naya [18.7K]

Dissection is one of the procedures through which scientists can find out about the internal parts of life science specimens.

Dissection in its literal terms is the cutting down of an object. The process involves cutting the parts and organs of an organism to study its anatomical structures. The process should be performed carefully so that the anatomy is not ruined and results are not misinterpreted.

Specimens are the samples related to living organisms used to visualize and study about them. These specimens can be deceased living organisms that are carefully preserved using chemicals. Other structures of the living organisms like their teeth, skin, exoskeleton, horns, etc. can also be considered a specimen.

Why does the element carbon create such different minerals as diamond and graphite ?

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Carbon has four available binding sites and depending on how one atom binds to other atoms, it can form different structures. If you look up the structure of diamond and graphite, you’ll see that they are all made out of carbon but they are arranged differently.
