An anthropologist finds a 29-cm humerus in a remote site at a mountain resort. there was a missing person's report for a woman (approx. 5'5'' tall) placed just about a week ago. could this bone possibly belong to her? why or why not?

Answer and explanation;

-When this value for the MLH is plugged into the white female equation, the height range is 150.96 cm - 159.86 cm. This converts to 4.95 - 5.24 ft (there are 2.54 cm in an inch, so you simply divide the number of centimeters by 2.54 to convert). If this value is plugged into the black female equation, the height range is 149.74 cm - 158.24 cm. This converts to 4.91 - 5.19 ft.

-Neither one of these heights is as tall as 5'5" (which in decimal form converts to 5.42 ft.), so the humerus most likely does not belong to this woman (although it could, since we found that the humerus is not the best indicator of height).

•there must be variation for the particular trait within a population.

•the variation must be inheritable (that is, it must be capable of being passed on from the parents to their offspring).

•individuals with one version of the trait must produce more offspring than those with a different version of the trait.good

explanation:

b. read the phase at the intersection of any given temperature and pressure.
