At birth a giraffe calf is about six feet tall (top of head) and weighs between 100 and 150 pounds. Its proportions are less exa

ggerated than those of an adult giraffe. Its upright, S-shaped neck is shorter. The bristly mane runs down onto its back and sometimes has an extension on the rump. Two horn cartilages, flat-lying to facilitate* the calf’s birth, can be felt under the skin on the head. Each is topped by a tuft of black hair. During the first days of the calf’s life the horns actually move about on the skull, to which they are attached only by connective tissue. Very soon the horns become stiff, as bone begins to replace cartilage. The calf’s short hair has a woolly texture. On each flank a spiral hair tract or whorl is conspicuous.

It explains why the horns are movable during the first days of a calf’s life.

Why is it that I took my ancestry DNA test it says im 86.2% Greek and balkan and 91.7% Southern Euro but people don't believe I
defon

Answer:

Um, you might be both Greek, Balkan and Southern but you might want to retake your DNA test because those percentages are incorrect. And for your green eyes, green eyes can be GG, or Gb, while blue eyes are bb. Brown is dominant over the green, so if you have a B version of gene 1 and a G version of gene 2, you will have brown eyes. Meaning your parent's genes were mostly likely GG and Gb or GG and BG. Lastly, your skin color doesn't say much about your race and ethnicity. For example, both I and my sister are mixed ( black and white) yet we look completely different. She has wavy hair, olive skin, smaller lips, and her build is different while I have very curly hair, white skin, bigger lips, and a lot curvier. Inclusion your looks have a lot more to do with your parents mixed genetics than ethnicity.

20. When a novelist uses an allusion in her story, she encourages readers to ask questions about the novel’s themes and characte
NikAS [45]

Answer:

Provides clues about how the novels conflicts will be resolved

Explanation:

"Allusion is a figure of speech, in which an object or circumstance from unrelated context is referred to covertly or indirectly. It is left to the audience to make the direct connection. Where the connection is directly and explicitly stated (as opposed to indirectly implied) by the author, it is instead usually termed a reference. In the arts, a literary allusion puts the alluded text in a new context under which it assumes new meanings and denotations. It is not possible to predetermine the nature of all the new meanings and inter-textual patterns that an allusion will generate. Literary allusion is closely related to parody and pastiche, which are also "text-linking" literary devices."
