Option D. Only II and III.(THE KNEE AND THE SPINAL CORD)

What is the patellar tendon reflex?

  • The patellar tendon reflex refers to a kicking-like motion produced by the extension of the knee joint upon the ipsilateral stimulation of the patellar tendon.
  • The reflex is thought to play a role in maintaining balance
  • Striking of the patellar tendon with a reflex hammer just below the patella stretches the muscle spindle in the quadriceps muscle.

What is pathology?

  • Pathology is the medical discipline that provides diagnostic information to patients and clinicians.
  • It impacts nearly all aspects of patient care, from diagnosing cancer to managing chronic diseases through accurate laboratory testing.
  • The sharp tap on the tendon slightly stretches the quadriceps, the complex of muscles at the front of the upper leg
  • In reaction these muscles contract, and the contraction tends to straighten the leg in a kicking motion.
  • Exaggeration or absence of the reaction suggests that there may be damage to the central nervous system

What are the estimated allele frequencies in a population if the frequency of the dominant phenotype is 0.64 (Hint: handout to g
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

0.8 and 0.2

Explanation:

Hardy Weinberg law states that the allele frequency of the population remain stable from one generation to next generation if no natural selection, drift or mutation occurs in the population.

Let p and q be the dominant and recessive frequency of the population respectively.

The dominant phenotype means p² = 0.64

p = 0.8

and we known that p + q = 1, in hardy Weinberg equilibrium.

0.8 + q = 1.

q = 0.2

Thus, the dominant allele is 0.8 and recessive allele is 0.2.

From a population of red brown orange yellow and green butterflies only the red and green ones survive since they can blend into
Mnenie [13.5K]

The answer is natural selection.

In natural selection, genotype variations that will increase the chance of survival and reproduction of some organism are preserved and will be inherited. Red and green colors of butterflies increased the chance of their <span>survival and reproduction, so these traits will pass to the next generation.</span>
