Sounds like a multiple choice question, may I have the options?
Answer:
M.Leakey was a paleoanthropologist of no formal university education and British origin. Her major discoveries were;
1. the proconsul skull
2. Zinjanthropus skull at Olduvai Gorge In Tanzania
3, system of classification of discovered stones.
4.Laetoli footprints at Laetoli sites.
However, her most outstanding discoveries were proconsul skull ( projecting face with no browridges, and presence of ape-like teeth shapes) and the Laetoli prints. She believed the skull belonged to ancestral Homo habilis, which could be traced to origin of mankind.
The discovery of Laetoli prints showed evidences of bipedalism and the origin of Australopithecus. These prints and the skeletons she unearthed proved that the ancestral of human race actually walked upright, nearly four feet tall in height.Hence she concluded that these prints actually belong to the Australopithecus. This brought a paradigm shift in modern understanding of human evolution of prehistoric times and the origin of mankind,
Her discoveries generally throw light on the <u>evolution of mankind </u>and new understanding of <u>genesis of human race</u>

Answer:
Inheritance Patterns
Explanation:
Mendel was studying how genes are past on to future generations and in what circumstances this can occur. He used pea plants as they multiply and grow quickly allowing him to observe many generations much faster than he would be able to observing humans or even other mammals. He also used pea plants because this way he could control reproduction of his pea plant population to adjust to specific questions he had in terms of his research.
Answer:An adaptation is any heritable trait that helps an organism, such as a plant or animal, survive and reproduce in its environment.

Answer:
With respect to the cases of early-onset Alzheimer’s disease are inherited, a type known as familiar Alzheimer’s disease (FAD), the statement is best supported by this information is that FAD is the result of a genetic change in one or more chromosomes.
Explanation:
Options for this question:
- <em>FAD is the result of a genetic change in one or more chromosomes.</em>
- <em>Natural selection will continue to reduce the incidence of FAD.</em>
- <em>FAD affects only the genes of middle-aged people.</em>
- <em>Deletion of one amino acid causes FAD.</em>
Alzhaimer's disease is a type of dementia that is characterized by neuronal degeneration, causing disorientation, memory and manual skills loss , among others. The familiar variety (FAD) is hereditary and is associated as a cause of disease and early Alzhaimer, before 60-65 years.
So far, three types of mutated genes related to FAD have been established:
- PSEN₁ or presenilin-1 gene
, more frecuent.
- APP or amyloid precursor protein gene.
- PSEN₂ or gene for presenilin-2, very rare or uncommon.
In some cases, people affected by FAD have alteration in more than one gene at the same time.
For this reason, it can be stated that FAD is the result of a genetic change in one or more genes or chromosomes.
