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! :)

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.

White raven [17]

It could be cooled which would then cause it to become over-saturated resulting in condensation that would return the air to a saturated state. Over-saturated air, with a humidity greater than 100%, is unstable, causing changes to restore stability. Hope this helps!

Which of the following methods might be used to decrease the rate of approach to carrying capacity by the developed world?
dangina [55]

Decrease resource use methods might be used to decrease the rate of approach to carrying capacity by the developed world

<u>Explanation:</u>

Carrying capacity is the greatest quantity of people of a supplied species that an area's sources can support frequently without significantly spending or diminishing those resources. For communities which increase exponentially, growth begins gradually, starts a fast maturity phase and then straightens off when the carrying capacity for that species has been touched.

The proportion of the population then shifts somewhat above or below the carrying capacity. Reproductive lag time may produce the population to exceed the carrying capacity temporarily. The carrying capacity may be reduced by resource leveling and disgrace during an overshoot period or spread through technological and social changes.
