Answer: Rigor mortis

Rigor mortis or postmortem stiffening is the one of the stages of the changes that occurs in the dead body. It initiates after primary flaccidity in which the body relaxes after death and stiffening starts after that. In this all muscles of the body are affected. It starts developing after two to six hours after death. It first begins in the eyelids, then on neck and jaw and finally to upper and lower parts of the body. It develops due to the accumulation of lactic acid in the body. The accomplishment of rigor mortis results in the softening or relaxation of the body which is called as secondary relaxation.

ASSIGNMENT DUE TOMORROW. HELP. ASAP.<br><br> Briefly describe the environment of the Ningaloo Reef.
Harman [31]

Ningaloo Reef is a fringing coral reef located off the west coast of Australia, approximately 1200 km north of Perth. The reef is 260 km long and is Australia's largest fringing coral reef and the only large reef positioned very close to a landmass.Ningaloo Reef is a two hour flight north of Perth.

Stretching 300 kilometres, the Ningaloo Marine Park begins at Bundegi Reef in the Exmouth Gulf, skirts around North West Cape and ends at the southern gateway to Ningaloo Reef at Red Bluff (north of Carnarvon). It extends 10 nautical miles seaward and encompasses over 5,000 square kilometres of ocean.

Wildlife of the Ningaloo

Flora. The flora of the Cape Range Peninsula is incredibly diverse with over 630 plant species recorded. ...

Birds. The Emu is the largest bird native to Australia and can reach up to 2m in height. ...

Marsupials. Black-footed Rock Wallaby. ...

Whales and Dolphins. ...

Turtles. ...

Manta Rays.

Ningaloo Reef is a fringing, rather than a barrier reef, because it is closer to the shore with shallow water separating the land and reef. ... Lots of these polyps live together in colonies and build the hard coral skeletons which form the basis of coral reefs.

The button-like structure that holds homologous chromosomes together at their middles during cell division is called the
Volgvan

Answer:

CENTROMERE

Explanation:

The CENTROMERE is the primary constriction region where the identical DNA molecules are most tightly bonded to each other during mitosis and meiosis.

The typical chromosome in metaphase is composed of two sister chromatids joined by the centromere.

Surrounding the centromere, we can find the kinetochores. These are laminar proteinic structures forming a plate where the spindle and kinetochore fibers will join during chromatids separation.

The position of the centromere defines the chromosomes as acrocentric, metacentric, or submetacentric.
