Golgi tendon organ manages muscles and prevents injury by monitoring the rate of muscle contraction.

What is the Golgi tendon organ? What is its primary function?

Sensory organs called Golgi tendon organs (GTOs) are found in the tendon next to the myotendinous junction. The Golgi tendon organ, which is located close to the point where a tendon joins a muscle, is a sensory ending that resembles a tree and is encased in a spindle-shaped connective tissue capsule.

The Golgi tendon organ is the sensory organ that determines how much tension the muscle is exerting when someone lifts weights. The Golgi tendon organ will prevent the muscle from producing any force (by a reflex arc) if there is excessive muscle tension, preventing you from harming yourself. Together, these monitor muscle length via the muscle spindles.

Arada [10]

Answer:

a. autotriploid of species A: 63 chromosomes

b. autotetraploid of species B: 96 chromosomes

c. allotriploid from species A and B: 1) 66 chromosomes and 2) 69 chromosomes

Explanation:

<u>For a.</u>

this species will have 3 haploid sets of chromosomes ('tri' means 3)

one haploid set = 21

21 × 3 = 63 chromosomes

<u>For b.</u>

this species will have 4 haploid sets of chromosomes ('tetra' means 4)

one haploid set = 24

24 × 4 = 96 chromosomes

<u>For c.</u>

there are two ways to do this:

1) two sets of chromosomes from species A and one from species B

42 + 24 = 66 chromosomes

2) one set of chromosomes from species A and two from species B

21 + 48 = 69 chromosomes

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!
