Why would measurement of waist circumference not be suitable for bertillonage?

Biology
1 answer:
Maurinko [17]1 year ago
6 0

Explanation:

Anthropometry uses measurements of certain specific body features. Bertillonage was initially a system utilized for the identification of criminals. It measures:

  • height
  • weight
  • skin fold thickness
  • arm span
  • head size
  • other distinct features

Waist circumference would be unsuitable, as this system utilizes BMI.

BMI or body mass index tests the body's fat through a height and weight ratios; the test refers to both adults males and females. BMI ranges contain weights less than 18.5 as below average, varying from 18.5 to 24.9 foraverage, overweight ranging from 25 to 29.9 and obese with a BMI of 30 or higher however BMI has limitations; it often overestimates body fat and athletic measurements.

Yanni made a chart to compare the strong and weak forces. Which best describes Yanni’s error? Only the weak force is active in t
cluponka [151]

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Nucleus of an atom consists of protons and neutrons. Protons are positively charged and neutrons have no charge. So, due to the like charges of protons there occurs electrostatic force of repulsion inside the nucleus of the atom.

But due to similar number of neutrons and protons a force that is able to bind both of them together is known as strong nuclear binding energy.

This force is strong enough that it is able to overcome electrostatic force of repulsion. But when there is great difference in the number of protons and neutrons then binding force is not strong enough.

Hence, the atom becomes unstable and undergoes radioactive decay. So, this means weak forces are responsible for radioactive decay.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement which best describes Yanni’s error is that the strong force is responsible for radioactive decay.

Skin color in a certain species of fish is inherited by a single gene with four different alleles. How many different types of g
k0ka [10]

Answer:

4

Explanation:

According to Mendel's law of purity of gametes, each gamete contains single allele for a gene. The alleles of a gene segregate during gamete formation and each gamete has one allele for a gene irrespective of the total number of alleles for a gene.  

If the gene for skin color in a fish species has four alleles, an individuals fish would have only two alleles which in turn would segregate during gamete formation.

Since there are four different alleles of the gene (let's assume a,b,c, and d), total possible gametes produced by this organism will be = 4. A gamete can have one of the total 4 alleles making total 4 types of the gametes each with a or b or c or d allele.

The large size of the daughter oocyte after meiosis II results from the uneven distribution of the cytoplasm, which allows the z
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Oogenesis includes the formation of one egg cell from a single oocyte or egg mother cell. The diploid primary oocytes in the ovaries enter into the first meiotic division and form a haploid secondary oocyte and a haploid first polar body. After fertilization, the secondary oocytes complete the meiosis-II and forms one large ovum and a second polar body. The ovum formed by meiosis-II is much larger than the second polar body due to the unequal distribution of cytoplasm during meiosis-II. This imparts enough amount of cytoplasm in the zygote to support the mitosis without any cell growth.

Pros and cons of canopy fogging
pishuonlain [190]

Pros:

It is (mostly) based on pyrethrine spray which kills the insects rapidly.

It not poisonous to other animals.

It uses synthetic, natural spray which is safe to use because it breaks down within 10 minutes.

Te technique can reach tall forests.

It can be used in closed spaces ( greenhouses, basements etc).

 

Cons:

It requires windless circumstances ( which is mostly at nights).

Breathing fog may cause respiratory and throat irritation to some.

During each heartbeat, about 80 g of blood is pumped into the aorta in approximately 0.2 s. during this time, the blood is accel
aivan3 [116]
I assume that in this item, we are asked to solve for the force exerted during the heartbeat. Force is the product of the mass and acceleration. To solve for the acceleration in this item, we divide the velocity by time.
                                   a = 1 m/s /  0.2 s = 5 m/s²
Then, we multiply this by the mass (in kg)
                                  F = (80 g / 1000 g/kg) x (5 m/s²)
                                      = 0.4 kg m/s² = 0.4 J
Therefore, every hearbeat will take 0.4 J of force.
