Match each underlined word to its correct meaning based on the context of the sentence. Tom had long been picking his way cautio

usly through this treacherous forest; stepping from tuft to tuft of rushes and roots, which afforded precarious footholds among deep sloughs. It was a dreary memento of the fierce struggle that had taken place in this last foothold of the Indian warriors. He was sulky, however, and would not come to terms: she was to go again with a propitiatory offering, but what it was she forbore to say. At this propitious time of public distress did Tom Walker set up as a usurer in Boston.

2. The word "dreary" is also used for something dull, uninteresting, bleak. It is used to describe the banal, cheerless memento of the fight the Indian warriors had given.

tresset_1 [31]

Hello. This question is incomplete. Also, you forgot to show the flowchart. The flowchart is attached below and the full question is:

The flowchart below shows the three generations of a cross between a pea plant that has yellow pods and a pea plant that has green pods. Green pods are the dominant trait. The flowchart is missing the labels that describe the traits.

In which squares should the phrase “Green pods” appear?

1.A and D  2.B and E  3.A,C and D  4.A,B,C,D and E

Answer:

3.A,C and D

Explanation:

As shown in the question above, the flowchart shows the crossing of a pea plant with dominant features (green pods - AA) and a pea plant with recessive features (yellow features - aa). The crossing between plants with AA and aa alleles generates a completely Aa population, which in this case, has the dominant characteristic, that is, it has green pods. This is because the "Aa" alleles are called heterozygous and develop the dominant characteristic.

As we can see in the flowchart, the crossing between the two pea plants generated an offspring that is identified by table C, as we know this offspring has green pods and in the flowchart it is represented by a grayish rectangle. Therefore, we can say that the other gray rectangles represent pea plants with green pods, which are rectangles A, C and D.

The appropriate answer for this one is C. Cancer cells divide uncontrollably and therefore the cell cycle would be continuously divide. To add, t<span>here is a term known as terminally differentiated cells. These cells that never enter the cell cycle again, meaning they stay in G0 and never divide. However, some cells can be triggered to depart G0 and re-enter G1, which permits them to divide again.</span>

What is the composition of hair?
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

The hair is made up of 95% keratin, a fibrous, helicoidal protein (shaped like a helix) that forms part of the skin and all its appendages (body hair, nails, etc.). Keratin is synthesized by keratinocytes and is insoluble in water, thus ensuring impermeability and protection for the hair.
