Answer: Gene

Explanation:

Genes are the segment of DNA that are responsible for a particular trait in the body rising from their ability to code only a particular type of protein.

Genes are acquired from both parents during conception and are therefore the smallest unit in heredity.

Genes determine everything from the color of our eyes to the shape of our toes and are therefore very important in building life.

Suppose the North American plate is moving away from the Eurasian plate at a rate of 2 cm per year. The eastern-most point of No

Archy [21]

The correct answer is - 1,180 km.

North America and Europe move away from one another, though the two plates, the North American and Eurasian are merging together on the other side. Since the rate of moving away is 2 cm per year, and the current distance is 1,184 km between North America and Europe, the distance between them 200,000 years ago was 1,180 km.

To get to the result we only need to multiply the number of years with the annual movement

2 x 200,000 = 400,000

Than divide the result with 100,000, as that is how much cm are in one km

400,000 / 100,000 = 4

And we get 4 km, in this case 4 km less, thus the distance between the two, 200,000 years ago, was 1,180 km.

Evgen [1.6K]

The answer is thirteen.

STR stands for short tandem repeats. In this analysis, highly polymorphic regions with short tandem repeats are used. In FBI investigation, thirteen regions are analyzed and compared. The chance for two people to have the exact same thirteen regions is almost impossible (1 : 1 billion or less). This way a difference between two DNA profiles could be assessed.
