Multifidus

What is multifidus?

The transversospinal group of deep back muscles includes the semispinalis, rotatores, multifidus, and other short, triangular muscles. They are shorter than semispinalis but longer than rotatores, and they are the thickest muscles in the transversospinal group. On either side of the vertebral column, from the cervical to the lumbar spine, there is a multifidus. Cervical multifidus, thoracic multifidus, and lumbar multifidus are the three regional subgroups of the group.

The spinal column is extended by the multifidus muscles. They contribute to the lateral flexion of the spine as well as some rotation of the vertebral bodies away from the side of contraction.

Multifidus: a muscle in the fifth and deepest layer of the back that helps to erect and rotate the spine by filling in the groove on either side of the spinous processes of the vertebrae from the sacrum to the skull.

Answer:

The component of water potential due to the hydrostatic pressure that is exerted on water in a cell. ... In turgid plant cells it usually has a positive value as the entry of water causes the protoplast to push against the cell wall (see turgor).

Need help with this evolution chart some I've filled in yet I'm not sure if they are correct.Plz help anybody
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

This is correct. The remaining portion:

Sympatric species that form interrelationships undergo coevolution.

Allopatric species in different environments can undergo convergent evolution.

Allopatric species in small populations and under intense environmental conditions can undergo genetic drift.

Explanation:

On the basis of geographical distance, speciation is of two major types:

  1. Sympatric
  2. Allopatric

Sympatric Speciation:

Sympatric speciation is the formation of new species with no gergraphical separation from the ancestor. The new and parent species both exist in the same environment but do not interbreed due to mechanisms of reproductive isolation. These involves both prezygotic and post zygotic barriers to reproduction such as timing of mating, sensitivity to pheromones, choice of mating sites or infertility and mismatched gametes. Species formed through sympatric speciation can form interrelationships and undergo coevolution i.e. the evolution of ones species is dependent on the other.  

Allopatric Speciation:

It involves the geographical separation of the parent and new species. These species could be geographically separated by a river, mountain range or land mass.

Although, allopatric species evolve independently, they may develop similar characteristics that serve different functions. Allopatric species in radically different environments undergo convergent evolution i.e. species evolve similar characteristics without any ancestral homology.

Allopatric species that reside in small populations and are under harsh environmental pressures undergo a rapid genetic revolution i.e. genetic drift. This includes the Founder's and bottleneck effect that involve the continuation of a species from very few individuals after a drastic, sudden environmental change.
