Explain what is meant by the term transverse section

Biology
1 answer:
KatRina [158]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

A transverse section is a cross-sectional part that is achieved by cutting the body or any part of the body structure in real or with help of imaging techniques in a horizontal plane. That plane crisscrosses the longitudinal axis at a 90-degree angle.

Explanation:

A cross section obtained by slicing, actually or through imaging techniques, the body or any part of the body structure, in a horizontal plane, i.e., a plane that intersects the longitudinal axis at a right angle. Because actual sectioning in the transverse plane results in inferior and superior portions, an anatomic transverse section may be a two-dimensional view of the cut surface on the inferior aspect of the superior portion, or of the superior aspect of the inferior portion. By convention, in medical imaging transverse sections usually demonstrate the form

Svetach [21]

Answer:

I am going to answer the questions in one brief summary of fossil fuels.

Fossil fuels are non-renewable, meaning one day they will run out.

Fossil fuels are reliable, meaning rain or shine we can use them.

Fossil fuels emit greenhouse gases, causing our world to warm up.

A Mother who is homozygous for Huntington's disease and a father who is homozygous normal want to have a baby. What genotypes an
natita [175]

Answer: The possible genotype for their child is Hh. All the children will be heterozygous for Huntington (Hh).

The possible phenotype for their child is Huntington disease.

Explanation: If H represents the trait for Huntington and h represents normal trait; and if Huntington trait (H) is dominant over normal trait (h), therefore the genotype of the mother who is homozygous for Huntington disease is HH and the genotype of the man who is homozygous normal is hh.

A cross between the man and woman will produce offsprings who are all heterozygous for Huntington disease Hh. Phenotypically, the offsprings will manifest as Huntington disease.

What is the difference between reduced transmission and incomplete penetrance?
Ket [755]

Answer:

While penetrance is a quantitative estimate, reduced expressivity (transmission) is a qualitative estimate.

Explanation:

<u>Penetration </u>

Some individuals who carry the deleterious allele (for example, in an autosomal dominant disease) do not show the expected phenotype: in that case we say that the penetrance is incomplete. This is the case in which the number of individuals presenting an abnormal phenotype is less than the number of individuals carrying the mutation causing this phenotype. Penetrance is a quantitative estimate.

For example, in the case of neurofibromatosis type I, its penetration is estimated to be 80% although it is often difficult to detect mild variants of the disease. Therefore, in these cases it would be useful to be able to detect the different mutations in the affected families and thus establish more precisely the value of their penetrance.

<u>Expressiveness  (transmission)</u>

The observed phenotype can be more or less severe among the different affected individuals. In this case it is said that the deleterious allele has a variable expressiveness. Expressiveness is a qualitative estimate.

In the case of Marfan syndrome, for the same mutation present in a family, some individuals show a severe form of the disease that affects the cardiovascular, ocular and skeletal system while others show only a high height and arachnodactyly, without eye problems or of aortic aneurysm.

Reduced penetrance and incomplete expressivity are mainly described in autosomal dominant diseases.

Do not confuse an isolated case due to poor penetrance with a sporadic case due to the appearance of a mutation.
