Answer: The hair is an outgrowth or appendage that grows from a hair follicle.

Explanation:

The three parts of the hair are cuticle, cortex, and medulla. The cuticle is the hard part made up of scales with keratin protein, cortex is the inner pigmented part, and the medulla is the innermost part of the hair.

During hair examination the type of cuticular scales helps in determining the organism to which it belongs, diameter of the medulla also helps in determining the organism, the DNA analysis of the hair can link to its origin, the detection of heavy metal poisoning like lead, arsenic, and others. Drug abuse details can also be determined by the hair analysis.

Show how evolution could have occurred by the process of natural selection
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Natural selection is basically a way for nature to choose what works and what doesn't work.  For example, if an animal was born with webs to swim, but most of its food source can be gotten on land, then the animal will die off until it evolves to go on land.  That is how evolution works with natural selection.  In the past long ago, millions of years back, animals in the water needed oxygen to breath, but the water started to lose it.  The land had air, and then the fish slowly grew legs, and their gills would evolve to lungs.  Eventually they would be able to roam the land.  Because there was so much oxygen with all of the shrubs, trees, and plants, that allowed the bodies of animals to grow big.
