Answer:
The missing word is things.
However, the real question is how one material can serve so many purposes? That is what makes it possible for the spiders web to have a high "utility" value?
The answer is in how the spiders make the silk.
Explanation:
So it interesting to note that spiders do not make only one kind of silk. They vary depending on what purpose it's doing serve.
The most common type is Dragline Silk.
Dragline Silk: This contains spidroins. Spidroins fall under a category of a protein called scleroproteins. Because of its composition, a strand or fiber of Dragline has the same tensile strength as steel albeit more flexible. That is if one produced steel the diameter of a spider's silk, and compared both for strength, the silk will be stronger.
The spider produces Dragline silk in its silk glands where they are as viscous as a paste. From here is pulled out or extruded into lines of silk.
Other types of spider silk are:
- Capture-spiral silk. Also known as the Flagelliform, they are used for securing lines of the web. They are adhesive, very elastic, and possess high tensile strength.
- Tubiliform silk: They are also called Cylindriform. Its main use is for the protection of spider eggs. It is used to make a sac for which protects eggs. This type of silk is the toughest.
- Aciniform silk: For preserving fresh prey.
- Minor-ampullate silk: This type is used by spiders for creating temporary support while they are spinning a web. Etc.

An artificial leaf could replicate photosynthesis but instead it would also be artificial which then produces hydrogen fuel that will be energy efficient and carbon neutral. hope this helps.
Answer 1: Difference b/w wet and dry earwax genes is due to switch of a single DNA unit i.e. single nucleotide polymorphism.
Answer 2: Earwax is important in many ways mainly it is a biological flypaper as it prevents dust and insects from entering the ear.
Answer 3: Genetics have proved that for those who sweat a lot and have armpit odor have wet earwax.
Answer 4: The wet type earwax is dominant one with honey brown or dark brown color while dry one is recessive.
Answer 5: As wet earwax is dominant trait, according to the given scenario the genotype of parent with wet earwax will be "WW" which when crossed with dry earwax parent will have all the offsprings with wet earwax.
Then the model will become useless. originally the bottle should be air tight only tubes connected to the balloons, so that pressure can be shown when you adjust the plastic sheet in the bottom of the model. but now if there's a hole, air can move freely in or out the bottle and the model will not be able to show anything that occurs during respiration
