There is a
transient electro-physiologic dysfunction of the reticular activating system in
the upper midbrain caused by rotation of the cerebral hemispheres on the fixed
brainstem. -The CSF cushions the brain from light trauma in times of more
severe impact, the forces on the brain may be linear, angular, or rotational, in
rotational movement, the head turns around its center of gravity: this is the
primary mechanism causing concussion.
66% of new HIV infections occur in sub-saharan Africa.
Lithosphere is the final layer on the planet Earth, erosion caused by wind (atmosphere) or rain (hydrosphere) may also wear down rocks in the lithosphere.
A community refers to the total number of populations that inhabit a
specific location or area. This is part of the levels of organization of life. Arranged from the least complex to most
complex it falls 8th in the category. Below are the organization of life:<span>
a. Organelles - the basic part of a living
organism. It refers to the different structures of the cell, whether
prokaryotic or eukaryotic. (Ex. Mitochondria, nucleus)
b. Cells - building blocks of life that are
composed of different molecules responsible for the function of an organism.
(Example: prokaryotic, eukaryotic cells)
c. Tissues - combinations of cells that carry
out a specific function in an organism. (Example: Human skin)
d. Organs - collections of tissues that perform
specific functions. (Ex. heart, lungs)
e. Organ Systems - composed of interconnected
organs that function as a whole. Many organisms, particularly mamamals, are
composed of organ systems. (Ex. respiratory, circulatory systems)
f. Organisms – individual entities that
specifically make-up a population. (Ex. Each tree in the forest is an organism,
each animal in sea is an organism)</span>
g. Population – species living within a specific location. It could be
the same or different species that inhabit a place. (Ex. Birds are species in
the forest as well as bears)
h. Community – refers to the total number of populations that inhabit a
specific location. (Ex. All of the trees, insects, birds that inhabit the
forest are a community)
i. Ecosystem – consists of all living things that function together as a
group which also includes the non-living parts of the environment. (Ex. Rain
water, nitrogen in the soil)
<span>j. Biosphere – the highest organization of life that consist of all the
collection of ecosystems in the planet. It includes the land, air, water, even
the atmosphere of the planet. </span>
Answer: True
Explanation:
DNA is a biological evidence. It is a heredity material which is present in all organisms on earth. The DNA in humans can be taken as sample from nails, bones, blood, skin, hair and other sources.
The DNA samples can be taken so as to establish the identity of the culprit, victim or any one which is associated with crime.
The DNA evidence has applicability as a potent evidence in the court of law. Thus utmost care should be taken to preserve it's integrity until it is analysed and presented in the court of law.
Thus the DNA evidence should be collected and preserved in airtight containers so as to prevent the entry of airborne pathogens like bacteria, virus these can contaminate the sample evidence and can make the evidence not of any use.
