Answer:

a. 1/2 b. The organism is an animal

Explanation:

a. What is the medullary index for an organism that has a medulla width of 2cm and hair shaft width 4cm?

Medullary index = diameter of medulla/diameter of hair.

Given that diameter of medulla = medulla width = 2cm and diameter of hair = hair shaft width = 4cm,

Medullary index = diameter of medulla/diameter of hair = 2 cm/4cm = 1/2

b. Is this organism human or animal?

Since the medullary index = 1/2 > 1/3 (if it is ≤ 1/3 it is human hair and ≥ 1/2 it is animal hair), it is animal hair. So, the organism is an animal.

algol13

The features which create deposition from rivers are found in food plains, alluvial fan, and deltas.

Deposition is termed as a process whereby the transported materials by a river are being deposited.

When a river losses energy we say that there is deposition.

Where there is high flow of water in a river deposition is likely to occur because more sediments are being carried as well as erosion which is being caused.
