This is because twenty-four latitude lines were chosen so that 24 hours represents a 360 revolution around the planet. As earth spins on its axis, different places receive sunlight at different times. Each day goes from morning to night as earth turns because the earth spins from west to east therefore the day moves from east to west. Lines of longitude help us keep track of time differences from place to place. Mapmakers divided earths 360 degrees of longitude by 24 hours which results to 15, the time changes by one hour every 15 degrees. It is one hour earlier every 15 degrees of longitude to the west and it is one hour later every 15 degrees of longitude to the east.

horsena [70]

Answer:

Explanation:

In humans, for predicting the future phenotype of any individual, the PSR is used.

A trait may be defined as the state of a character that is a distinct variation of the phenotypic characteristic of any organism.

The following factors contributes to the differences in the complex trait risk predictions in the different laboratories :

-- differing methods of the combining risk from the multiple genetic variants.

-- genotyping of the different variants.

-- selection of the different genetic variants for such risk determination.

Thus the factor which does not contribute is :

"different assessments of the environmental factors."
