Hey there!

The answer to that is genes.

Genes are parts of the DNA and are the functional unit of inheritance.

Genes are the reason why a child looks like his/her parents. Genes from the parents are inherited to the child and are in the child's DNA.

Hope this helps. Have an awesome day! :)

P.S. Congrats on asking the 8 millionth question on Brainly!

The segments of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) that control what a child inherits are the genes.

Genes are responsible for a plethora of things, including more noticeable things like your hair color, but also less noticeable things like the way your ear-lobes attach. According to the Human Genome Project, humans have approximately <em>25,000 </em>genes. While most of these are the same among average people, there are still hundreds that are different, and make you- <em>you</em>!

Each parent provides a set of genes, which the child inherits. This controls almost all aspects of the child's life, including their appearance, the way they think, and even disabilities or gifts. In short, genes, which you inherit from your parents, control everything about you, from your hair color to your ability to learn.

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Water in the geosphere can be discharged into surface water, becoming part of the hydrosphere once again, or it could be drawn up into the roots of a plant and become part of the biosphere. Water in the biosphere can be released into the atmosphere through transpiration in plants, or respiration in animals.

Marta_Voda [28]

Imagine you are surveying a population of a mountain range where the inhabitants live in the valleys with no inhabitants on the large mountains between. If your sample area is the valleys, and you use this to estimate the population across the entire mountain range, <u>you overestimate the actual population size</u>

<u />

Explanation:

  • An estimate that turns out to be incorrect will be an overestimate if the estimate exceeded the actual result, and an underestimate if the estimate fell short of the actual result.
  • The mean of the sampling distribution of a statistic is sometimes referred to as the expected value of the statistic. Therefore the sample mean is an unbiased estimate of μ.
  • Any given sample mean may underestimate or overestimate μ, but there is no systematic tendency for sample means to either under or overestimate μ.
  • Bias is the tendency of a statistic to overestimate or underestimate a parameter. Bias can seep into your results for a slew of reasons including sampling or measurement errors, or unrepresentative samples
