Answer:

If you were to jump off a cliff, you would break both your legs and your spine.

Explanation:

Since you would be landing on your feet when crashing onto the ground/rocks/etc., you would potentially (actually, 99.99% chance) become paralyzed and not be able to move your legs and spine. The five sciatic nerves join at the base of the spine and extend down the back of each leg to the toes. The sciatic nerves connect the spinal cord to many of the leg and foot muscles.

Therefore, since you would be landing on your feet, you damage not only the feet and legs, but also your entire spine, which is also connected to your brain (the spinal nerves that is).

How are the plants in a desert ecosystem most likely to differ from the plants in a rain forest ecosystem?
erik [133]
Hey,

I believe this answer is A: The desert plants are likely to be better at retaining water.

Which they do, and they have to cause water is very scarce in the desert unlike the rain forest.

Desert plants likely to be larger is not proven and most plants can vary in size.

Narrower stems may have something to do with it but that goes back to they have to hold more water so this is incorrect.

Brighter flowers doesn't have anything to do with water consumption within a plant so this is incorrect as well.

Hope this helps!

The allele for dwarfism - D its dominant
Recessive allele -d
If the person has heterozygous alleles -Dd the person will have achrondroplastic dwarfism
However if the person if homozygous for the allele DD it’s Lethal and person can’t survive
If both parents are Dd
Dd X. Dd
Offspring DD Dd Dd dd
Probability of children who survive with the trait have the genotype Dd
Probability - 1/4 + 1/4
