Head moulding. Although, head moulding is common in any vaginal delivery, for a primigravid, which is having a child for the first time, is much more significant. The bones of a neonate are soft, flexible, and present gaps between them. These gaps and softness of the bones allow the moulding of the head when going through the vaginal canal. Being the first birth the vaginal canal is tighter and does not dilactate so well leading to a more significant head moulding.

Cell cycle checkpoints are an important feature of a dividing cell to reduce errors that can occur in various stages of the cell

saveliy_v [14]

Loss of Rb, an important part of the G1-S transition checkpoint, can result in uncontrolled cell cycle progression and cancer. All of the following would mimic loss of Rb except constitutively active Ras GTPase activating protein. Correct answer: letter E.

Constitutively active Ras GTPase activating protein would not mimic loss of Rb, because it would not directly result in uncontrolled cell cycle progression.

<h3>What is Retinoblastoma (RB)?</h3>

Rb is an important tumor suppressor protein that works to inhibit cell cycle progression by preventing the activation of E2F transcription factors. Constitutively active Ras GTPase activating protein would not directly interfere with the Rb-E2F pathway, which is necessary for uncontrolled cell cycle progression and cancer.

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

Homo species have differences in brachial index, face and teeth size as compared with australopithecines.

Explanation:

Australopithecines were found in pleistoocene era and adapted to the bipedal locomotion but shows differences in walking style as compared to early homo species. They have large brachial index. The postcanines were large but incisors and canines were small.

Early homo species were found around 2 million years ago. They shows bipedal locomotion with different walking styles. The brachial index of early homo species was small as compared with the australopithecines. The post canines were small but incisors and canines were large.
