Answer:

They have contributed same allele for straight hair.

Explanation:

There are two conditions homozygous and heterozygous. In homozygous conditions both the allele of a particular gene is same in an offspring which means the offspring got two same alleles from its parent for a particular gene and if an offspring is heterozygous for a gene that suggests that the parent has contributed two different alleles for that gene in the offspring.

So If Micah is homozygous for straight hair then it can be concluded that his parents have contributed two same alleles for straight hair genes.

Which of the following choices correctly matches a tool and its proper application?
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A. "cell fractionation to study the function of specific organelles".

Explanation:

Cell fractionation is a scientific process used to study the function of specific organelles, which main idea is to fractionate the cells but preserving the individual function of the elements of the cell. Usually, the separation takes place by a centrifugation method. This methodology was developed to identify the location of the organelles within the cells, but nowadays is used to study its functions.

There was two of the same question, but here is the answer again with a little more depth.

D - spine alignment and foot size.

It was only the late Australopiths that had an S-shaped spine. This allowed for them to be bipedal, that is, the ability to walk on two legs as we do. This is because the S-shaped spine allowed them to balance when they were standing. The late Australopiths also have shorter and less flexible toes. These smaller, but sturdier feet made pushing off the ground much easier - aiding in their bipedalism.

<span>It is vitally important to life, any form of life. Life in it's self is what we are all striving to grasp, hold and not let escape. It is the endless search for meaning to understand and comprehend. Evolution which is the symphonic struggle of nature to overcome and create the most suitable specimen ensuring its survival within its species from its predators and the world at large. Duplication is natures way to regenerate and strengthen the gene pool of species. It allows newer generations to improve on the genes to enable it to adapt better to the current environment is is facing. It is a constant and never ending process.</span>
