The point where the muscle attaches to the more movable bone in a joint refers to as the insertion. The origin is the point where the muscle attaches to the less movable bone. In general, we can say insertion moves towards the origin. The muscle which is responsible for causing particular movement is called a prime mover.

Through the help of synergists, prime mover produces some movement or reduce the undesired movement. Synergist contain specializes fixators. Fixators function is to stabilize the origin of prime mover so that the tension created can be used to move the insertion bone.

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is - True.

Explanation:

In a simplified drosophila or fruit fly genome, Each chromosome of the homologous pair of chromosomes has the genes for the body color, wing shape, antenna type, and eye color, and all are located on the same chromosome.

So on the basis of the explanation given above it is clear that in Drosophila or fruit flies it is true that Each chromosome has genes that control wing shape, body-color, antenna type, and eye color.

Discuss the order in which seed dispersal mechanisms could have evolved
sladkih [1.3K]

The fossil records of primitive plants show a variety of seed dispersal mechanisms that has been adopted by plants at various stages and how they have evolved. The most primitive of this seed dispersal mechanism is the Anemochory

Anemochory is the dispersal of seed through the wind. The seeds have wing like structures and are lightweight to be able to fly away with the wind. They are dull colored and are pale that will prevent the seed from being visible.

Hydrochory is the next order of evolution of the seed dispersal mechanism which became majorly adopted by plants that tend to grow near water sources and those whose seeds are too heavy to fly in the air. One of the best examples is the coconut that falls off on the sea water in the coastal areas and floats to other lands and sprouts to a new plant.

Barochory is the dispersal of the seed through gravity. This is the mechanism where the fruit falls off to the ground due to gravity and grows into a new plant.

Endozochory is the dispersal of the seed through animals. In this case the seed is usually covered with a fleshy edible part which is consumed by the animals and in this process the seed goes into the digestive system of the animal and is excreted in a different place from where the seed can sprout into a new plant.

Ballochory is the dispersal of the seed due to the forceful ejection of the seed by explosive dehiscence of the seed. This lets the plant to place its seeds in a distant area. One of the best examples is the Hura Crepitans which is also called the dynamite tree, named after its exploding fruits.

How are long term and short term environmental changes similar? and how are they different?
netineya [11]

Answer:

Explanation:

Environmental changes occurs from time to time, we have the short term changes that do not last for a very long time and the long term changes that last for a while. Accumulate of short term changes can extend to long term as some of the long term effects are as a results of short term changes in the environment.

Short term environment changes can be favourable to some organism and adversely affect others. Raining season causes increase in growth and development of most plant species but a long period of drought and dryness makes its hard for some plant to strive while some plants can strive well in long period of drought. This makes the two changes different, the both have individual effects on plants response.
