Why can't a hair shaft be used to collect an individual's DNA

Biology

erica [24]3 years ago

Answer: Hope this helps!

Explanation:

When performing a hair DNA test for the purpose of paternity, it is a must to have a complete hair sample – with hair shaft and hair follicle. On the other hand, if the purpose of hair DNA testing is for forensic use, a cut hair sample even with no follicle can still be of use. However, a complex procedure has to be made.

Answer:

A hair w/out the follicle and its nuclear DNA, or genetic material in its nucleus, cannot provide individual evidence. Physical examination of the hair can only yield class evidence.

<span><span>If these are the answers you were able to choose from:

A)Parents who live vicariously through their children are less likely to experience empty nest feelings.
</span><span>B)For most parents, marital satisfaction decreases during the years after child rearing.
</span><span>C)Parents who are heavily invested in their children may suffer from a decline in marital satisfaction after children have left home.
</span><span>D)<span>Marital partners have less time for each other with their children gone.

Then the correct answer would be C - parents who are heavily invested in their children may suffer from a decline in marital satisfaction after children have left home. This also makes sense; they've been parents and not husband and wife. For that reason, following the child's departure, they're not sure what to do with themselves.</span></span></span>

In 20 to 25 words each, describe how socialization occurs in each of the following developmental periods:
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

During their childhood, kids learn about the world that surrounds them when going through 3 different phases regarding their body parts, and taking contact with their family and school; when puberty strikes, the learning shifts towards the teen's peer group and their chosen role models to create new patterns in behaviour and find themselves (adolescence). Once the individual enters adulthood and establish his/her personality, can form strong and intimate relationships with friends and romantic partners (transitional adulthood). When reaching the middle years, the person needs to contribute to society in some way to feel productive, like raising children or helping his/her community. Finally, during the older years, humans tend to reflect on their lives and accomplishments to develop a sense of either integrity or despair.
