Biology
1 answer:

Answer:

Calculating the age of a skeleton can be done by looking at the number of fused bones (option 3).

Explanation:

The calculation of skeleton bone age takes into account the complete ossification of bones, which occurs at various stages of human development.

<u>In childhood, the epiphyses or ends of long bones are not completely ossified but are formed by cartilage</u>, due to the process of growth. When development is achieved, the growth nuclei and cartilage disappear.

Bone age is a reliable parameter for calculating chronological age, as they are quite approximate.

The other options are not correct because:

<em>    1. </em><u><em>The length of the femur</em></u><em> is useful for calculating height. </em>

<em>    2. </em><u><em>The shape of the pelvis</em></u><em> helps to differentiate the sex. </em>

<em>    4. </em><u><em>The color of the bones</em></u><em> is not a useful parameter to calculate the age of the skeleton.</em>

How are the virus and bacterium similar
geniusboy [140]
All viruses have is a protein coat and a core of genetic material, either RNA or DNA. Unlike bacteria, viruses can't survive without a host. They can only reproduce by attaching themselves to cells. Unlike bacteria, most viruses do cause disease, and they're quite specific about the cells they attack.

1) B
    (I'm not so sure of this one) All of the other options have a steady impact on population regardless of the density of organisms except competition

2) D
    Increased carbon dioxide levels would not hinder plant growth, and tsunamis aren't really linked to carbon dioxide levels. Increased carbon dioxide is unlikely to lower the air temperature so only D is left.

3) A

4) Three properties of water that allow it to sustain life are that it is adhesive, it is a good solvent, and cohesion. Adhesion is important in situations such as water travelling up xylem tubes in plants so that the water is not pulled down by gravity and can reach parts of the plant that need water. Cohesion allows the water being pulled up the xylem to stay together and for water molecules to be pulled when a neighbouring one is moved. Water being a good solvent allows inorganic minerals to be taken with water through vascular tissue, such as in the previous example.
