The facial nerve (cn vii) passes through the opening in the temporal bone called the stylomastoid foramen.

<h3>Stylomastoid foramen:</h3>

The foramen between the styloid and mastoid processes of the temporal bone of the skull is known as the stylomastoid foramen. It serves as the facial canal's terminus and carries the facial nerve and stylomastoid artery. Bell's palsy may be brought on by facial nerve irritation in the stylomastoid foramen. An unexplained episode of facial muscular paralysis or weakening is known as Bell's palsy. Over the course of 48 hours, it gets worse suddenly.

The stylomastoid foramen is where the 7th cranial nerve leaves the skull and enters the parotid gland at its deep surface. The nerve splits into two major branches, the temporofacial branch, and the cervicofacial branch, right next to the parotid duct.

Antennae development in ants is thought to be a trait controlled by maternal effect. In ants, zig-zag coils are dominant to curl
Schach [20]

Answer:

a. Her mother has zig-zag antennae.

b. Her brother has zig-zag antennae.

Explanation:

<u>Available data</u>:

  • Antennae development ⇒ controlled by maternal effect
  • Zig-zag coils are dominant
  • Curly coils are recessive
  • A female develops zig-zag coils

Maternal effect: Refers to the influence of the “environment provided by the mother” on the progeny phenotype. The mother´s genotype directly determines the progeny phenotype. Even though the progeny has a different genotype, it is irrelevant, as well as the father´s genotype or phenotype. This means that no matter what is the genotype of the offspring, all of them will express the same phenotype as their mother. The maternal effect is commonly seen in insects and might be seen in some mammals and plants.

So, if a female has zig-zag coils, this means that the mother also has zig-zag antennae and that all the brothers and sisters of this female ant have zig-zag antennae, independently of their genotype.

a. Her mother has zig-zag antennae ⇒ True. The trait is inherited from the mother.  

b. Her brother has zig-zag antennae ⇒ True. The whole progeny will express sig-zag antennae.

c. This female carries the zig-zag allele ⇒ Not necessarily.

d. This female's offspring will have zig-zag antennae ⇒ Depends on it´s genotype

C3 fracture resulting in loss of sensation and inability to move arms and legs is known as what type of paralysis?
adell [148]

Answer:

The correct answer is quadriplegia.

Explanation:

The paralysis of both the legs and arms has been known as quadriplegia. The main reason for quadriplegia is the injury to the spinal cord, however, other conditions like strokes and cerebral palsy can also result in similar paralysis. The degree of damage depends upon the part of the spinal cord injured and the amount of destruction done.  

With the injury to the spinal cord, the brain loses the tendency to communicate with it and so the movement and sensation get impaired. Quadriplegia takes place when the region of the neck of the spinal cord gets injured like a C3 fracture. An extreme spinal cord injury may obstruct the process of breathing and hampers the movement of limbs.  

An individual with complete quadriplegia loses the tendency to move any part of the body underneath the neck, even some are not able to move their neck.

The repeating stages a cell experiences, including cell division, compose the _____ _____.
Jobisdone [24]

The repeating stages a cell experiences, including cell division, compose the cell cycle.

Life cycle of the cell (cell cycle) can be divided in interphase and mitotic phase.

Interphase can be subdivided into:

• G1 phase characterized by the growth of the cell

• S where DNA replication occur

• G2 phase final preparation for mitosis.

Mitotic or M phase consists of:

• Prophase-condensation of chromosomes and mitotic spindle formation

• Metaphase-alignment of the chromosomes

• Anaphase- Sister chromatids are  pulled apart by the mitotic spindle

• Telophase-each pole of the cell contain full set of chromosomes.  

Two new cells are formed after cytokinesis.

What step is necessary before joining the monosaccharide molecules
anzhelika [568]
I'm not completely certain but I believe that the answer is dehydration. When this occurs, monosaccarides are joined and water, or H2O, is a product of this.
