<span>The structure of the feet and legs varies greatly among frog species, depending in part on whether they live primarily on the ground, in water, in trees or in burrows. Frogs must be able to move quickly through their environment to catch prey and escape predators, and numerous adaptations help them to do so. Most frogs are either proficient at jumping or are descended from ancestors that were, with much of the musculoskeletal morphology modified for this purpose. The tibia, fibula, and tarsals have been fused into a single, strong bone, as have the radius and ulna in the fore limbs (which must absorb the impact on landing). The metatarsals have become elongated to add to the leg length and allow the frog to push against the ground for a longer period on take-off. The illium has elongated and formed a mobile joint with the sacrum which, in specialist jumpers such as ranids and hylids, functions as an additional limb joint to further power the leaps. The tail vertebrae have fused into a urostyle which is retracted inside the pelvis. This enables the force to be transferred from the legs to the body during a leap </span>
<span>The muscular system has been similarly modified. The hind limbs of ancestral frogs presumably contained pairs of muscles which would act in opposition (one muscle to flex the knee, a different muscle to extend it), as is seen in most other limbed animals. However, in modern frogs, almost all muscles have been modified to contribute to the action of jumping, with only a few small muscles remaining to bring the limb back to the starting position and maintain posture. The muscles have also been greatly enlarged, with the main leg muscles accounting for over 17% of the total mass of the frog.</span>

What would be the correct notation for describing a deletion in the short arm of chromosome 6 at region 2, band 4
Andrej [43]

The correct notation would be Del(6)(p24). The word 'del' means deletion.

<h3>What is chromosome notation?</h3>

Chromosome notation refers to alphanumeric notations used to identify certain chromosome arrangements.

In this case, chromosome notation denotes a deletion (del) in the short arm (p arm) of chromosome 6.

The stained band of the chromosomes in the karyotype is denoted by the number 24.

If it takes 98.8 kcals to break one C--H found in an organic molecule, how many kcals does it take
steposvetlana [31]

395.2kcal

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Energy required to break one C-H bond = 98.8kcals

Unknown:

Energy required to break methane = ?

Solution:

The bond dissociation energy is the heat energy absorbed in breaking a covalent bond in the gas phase to its constituents elements.

  Solving

    CH₄ has 4 C-H bonds

To break 1 C-H bond, 98.8kcals of energy was used,

To break 4 of the bonds; 4 x 98.8kcals will be used = 395.2kcal
