Answer:

Explanation:

Sickle-Cell Disease- An inherited blood disorder where red blood cells become sickle/crescent shaped. It is when the body produces red blood cells that are unstable!

As for why areas where malaria is common have high frequencies of the sickle-cell allele, It is believed by some as an example of natural selection at play. An interesting pattern of incidence of sickle cell has been observed in Africa, where malaria is a widely prevalent disease. The relation between sickle cell and anemia gains further ground on the fact, that there is a greater incidence of sickle cell in the African lowland populations, where malaria is severe and widespread than among their highland counterparts. It is believed that sickle cell provides resistance against the malarial parasite.

An example of a(n) is the brain, spinal cord, and nerves working together.
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

system

Explanation:

An example of an organ system is the brain, spinal cord, and nerves working together.

<em>A system is a level of organization in living organisms in which body organs work together to perform similar functions. The organ system represents the highest level of body organization as opposed to organ, tissue, and cell level of organization.</em>

The cell is the smallest unit of organization of the body of living organisms. At the tissue level, cells aggregate together to perform similar functions while at the organ level, similar tissues come together to perform somewhat similar roles in the body of organisms.

<u>The brain, spinal cord, and nerves each represent an organ. When these work together in the body of organisms, the level of organization is described as organ systems or simply systems. </u>

A. create a data table to compare and contrast the physical features of the three skeletons.
Natalija [7]

Comparing the physical features of the three types of skeletons

<u>Endoskeleton :</u>                                        

Less Flexible than cartilage    

<u>Exoskeleton :</u>

very rigid and hard    

<u>Hydrostatic skeletons  </u> :  

Less rigid and very flexible

<h3>Physical difference of the types of skeletons </h3>

The endoskeleton is the internal skeleton present in vertebrates in the form of bones which enables the movement of animals while supporting the organs of the body to remain in position. they are less flexible when compared to cartilage. Exoskeletons are outer skeletons which protect organisms and also enables them to move freely. They are very rigid and hard.

Hence we can conclude that the comparison between the types of skeletons are as listed above.
