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

Answer:

Decomposers (Figure below) get nutrients and energy by breaking down dead organisms and animal wastes. Through this process, decomposers release nutrients, such as carbon and nitrogen, back into the environment. These nutrients are recycled back into the ecosystem so that the producers can use them.

The presence of what group differentiates most amino acids from each other?
Karolina [17]
 <span>Amino acids are the basic structural unit of all proteins. A 'free' amino acid (a single amino acid) always has: 
an amino group -NH2, 
a carboxyl group -COOH 
a hydrogen -H 
a chemical group or side chain -"R". 
Since the amino acids (except glycine) have 4 different groups attached to the a-carbon, they are optically active stereoisomers (recall 23.101 Organic Chemistry) although only L-isomers are found in proteins. 
At a neutral pH, both the amino and the carboxyl groups are ionised, giving what is termed the zwitterionic</span>

Legend has it that there was a less famous geneticist in the 1800s
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

Few crosses

The complexity of cat genetics

Crosses not controlled by the researcher

Explanation:

The purpose of this question is to determine why  Megor Grendel is less famous than that of Gregor Mendel.

Gregor Mendel examined pea plants, which have a number of benefits for deducing genetic rules, including:

  • The researcher has total control over the crosses.
  • Because the peas have both self and cross-fertilization, it is possible to alter the crosses in the simplest way possible.
  • Pea plants may be examined for a greater series of generations than cats or other animals.
  • Because plant genetics is not overly complicated, several traits may be investigated at the same period.

As a result, the primary factors why Megor Grendel's experiments are not well-known:

  • The presence of only a few crossings: It is impossible to establish a genetic theory with such a small number of crossings on the test subject of the organism.
  • Cat genetics is too complicated therefore, the fur gene color on the X-chromosome, a characteristics mosaic inheritance. As a result, It is much too complicated to deduce an inheritance pattern.
  • Crossings that the researcher cannot fully control. Unlike plants, crosses in animals cannot be totally controlled by the researcher.

As a result, it is impossible to draw any conclusions from them.
