A contracture develops when normally elastic connective tissues are replaced with nonelastic fibrous tissues.
<span>A contracture is a deformity which forms as the result of stiffness or constriction in the connective tissues. This can occur in muscles, tendons, ligaments, and skin. As a result, contracture deformity restricts normal movement because pliable connective tissues become less flexible.</span>

Contracture develops when normally elastic connective tissue are replaced with nonelastic fibrous tissues. 
Contracture is the prolonged state of shortening or tightened tissue. Contracture develops when the normally stretchy tissues are replaced by non stretchy fiber-like tissue. This tissue makes it hard to stretch the area and prevents normal movement. It mostly occurs in the skin, the tissues underneath, and the muscles, tendons, ligaments surrounding a joint.

Dvinal [7]
Since the two species co-inhabit the same habitat, habitat isolation can be disregarded as a factor keeping the two species separate. There are however some other broad categories of mechanisms for <span>reproductive isolation. One is behaviour. Many birds in particular have very specific mating rituals, including mating dances, particular bird song, the development of specific mating plumage, the release of specific pheromones and the building of a particular nest structure. Another broad category is mechanical isolation. You will find that the genital organs of particular species are very specific, and preclude other close species from successfully mating. Another broad category is gametic isolation. For most species combinations, it is not possible for the gametes to fuse successfully to form a hybrid. If hybrid games do fuse, in many cases, the hybrids are sterile, such as mules for example.     </span>

State one similarity and one difference between the responses of tropism and mastic movement.
Amanda [17]

Explanation:

The similarity between tropic and nastic movement is - both are the result of external stimulus and the difference between tropic and nastic movement is the direction of the response is not dependent on the direction of the stimulus in the case of nastic movement but in the case of tropic movement, the response is dependent on the moment.

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is: lets the air get inside the lungs.

Explanation:

The process of ventilation, or breathing, consists of two parts: <u>inhaling and exhaling.</u>

Inhaling is the name of the process that is responsible for the air entering the body by the respiratory tract. Exhaling is the opposite, it lets the air out. Both are equally important since they allow the gas exchange necessary for the oxygenation of the blood.

When inhaling, the diaphragm and the external intercostal muscles contract. This pulls the ribcage upwards and outwards, which increases lung volume while decreasing the air pressure inside.
