False, The femoral artery becomes the popliteal artery at the knee.

<h3>Where does the femoral artery become the popliteal?</h3>

When the superficial femoral artery leaves the adductor canal at the adductor hiatus and travels posteriorly beyond the knee, it enters the popliteal fossa, where the popliteal artery continues the superficial femoral artery's direct journey.

The main blood vessel giving blood to your lower body is the femoral artery. It begins in the back of your upper thigh, close to the groin, and descends to the back of your knee. The femoral artery and its branches are responsible for supplying blood to the lower body. Blood carries nutrition and oxygen to your tissues.

The anterior and posterior tibial arteries are the popliteal artery's two terminal branches, which branch off at the lower border of the popliteus muscle after the popliteal artery passes through the popliteal fossa.

What is nondisjunction? ______________ When does it happen? _______________ What is the result? __________ Name some examples __
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

The process of reproduction is a pretty complex one, and there are several steps that are taken that, if taken wrong, can lead to abnormalities. The most important thing to know is that all humans have two sets of 23 chromosomes, one from each of their parents. The correct process of egg and sperm formation is meiosis, and it will ensure that from the originating cell, the gametes (or eggs) formed, will have the total amount of chromosomes needed.

During this process of meiosis, the chromosomes should be separated and evenly divided. But first, DNA replication must take place. This means that first two homologous chromosomes, and are created so that all new cells will have the same DNA information. This happens in Meiosis I, Anaphase I. On the second phase of meiosis, in its anaphase (meiosis II, anaphase II) a new division will happen, but this time, of sister chromatids. This separation process is called disjunction.

So, in answer to the question above, we have that:

1. Non-disjunction: is when the two pairs of homologous chromosomes (in meiosis I, anaphase I), or the two sister chromatids (in meiosis II, anaphase II), do not separate, or parts remain with the other.

2. This happens during two phases of Meiosis: Meiosis I, anaphase I and Meiosis II, anaphase II.

3. The result can be two cells with extra copies of chromosomes, and the other missing that extra pair of chromosomes and in the case of nondisjunction in anaphase II, the results can be: two normal haploid cells, and the other two will, one have an extra chromosome, and the other, be totally missing it.

4. Some examples of these situations, when female and male gametes unite to form a baby, would be: Trisomies (extra copies of chromosomes) and Monosomies (absent normal numbers of chromosomes).

Sidana [21]

Answer: slightly cooler than

Explanation:

The testes are the male gonads. These are found in a loose pouch which is called as the scrotum behind the penis. The testes are responsible for production and storage of sperms which are the male gametes, and fluids which makes up the composition of the semen in males. The testes being the sperm factor functions efficiently when the temperature of the scrotum is slightly cooler than the rest of the body.
