Crossed-extensor reflex prevents you from falling when you suddenly lift one foot off the ground in response to pain.

  • A withdrawal reflex is the crossed extensor reflex. In the withdrawing limb, the extensors relax while the flexors contract, but in the other limb, the opposite happens.
  • This can be seen, for instance, when someone steps on a nail; the affected leg pulls away, while the other leg bears the weight of the entire body.
  • Contralateral means that the crossed extensor reflex takes place on the side of the body that is opposite from the stimulus.
  • Afferent nerve fiber branches travel from the stimulated side of the body to the opposite side of the spinal cord to cause this response.
  • They make connections with interneurons there, which then stimulate or inhibit alpha motor neurons to he muscles of the contralateral limb.

If you made a Punnett square showing Gregor Mendel’s cross between true-breeding tall plants and true-breeding short plants, the
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Assume that allele A is the dominant allele that produces the dominant phenotype (tall) in plants that have at least one allele A, and allele a is the recessive allele that produces the recessive phenotype (short) in plants that have two alleles a.

In the parental generation, a true-breeding tall plant has the AA genotype (phenotype: tall), and a true-breeding short plant has the aa genotype (phenotype: short).

We have the Gregor Mendel's cross as in the image attached here.

All of the F1 generation (offspring plants) have the Aa heterozygous genotype, and therefore, they are all tall.

The answer is c (the offspring plants have a genotype that was different from that of both parents).

You have gone into the field to take water samples from
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

Lake A: pH = 4.5; Lake B: pH = 7.5

Explanation:

I think that one because if you look on the acid vs base chart acid is from 0-6 and bases are from 8-14 and acids are less toxic, so you would infer that lake A has acid and lake B has bases.

i would have picked the ones closest to 7 ,which is neutral, but I'm not sure that a base can be lower then 7 so I didn't pick answer C
