Muscles are the tissue structures that move bones. They are connected to bones and need proteins to grow and stay healthy.

Answer is Muscles.

Muscles work on contraction. Muscles can only pull and cannot push. This means that a muscle can only move a bone in one direction and there is no way to move the bone back again. This problem is solved by having muscles in pairs, called antagonistic muscles. The antagonistic muscles work in pairs. One muscle contracts while the other relaxes.

For example, the lower arm is moved upwards when the biceps muscle contracts and the triceps muscle is relaxed. To lower the forearm again, the triceps contracts and the biceps relaxes.

Answer:

A. The temperatures are too high.

Explanation:

A desert is a region with extremes of temperatures and little to no rainfall.

Organic matter are the remains of organisms that have died. They are a very important component of soils.

Where temperatures are very extreme, there would be little to no life. Only special organisms that have evolved to adapt will survive such region.

Due to the low amount of plant and animal lives owing from the high temperature of deserts, little to no organic matter forms.

The most common form of color blindness, known as red–green blindness, is an X-linked recessive trait affecting about 8% of the
dangina [55]

Answer:

A) Proportion of females with the trait is less than 8%

B) Proportion of females that would be carriers is greater than 8%

Explanation:

Only the 8% male sufferers can give their diseased X-chromosome for the female XX to be formed. hence, the proportion of the female carriers is most likely greater than 8%

On the other hand, the proportion of female sufferers will be definitely less than 8%, for 92% of the remaining male population are neither carriers nor sufferers; and the 8% male sufferers are strictly needed to give the disease X-chromosome for a female to have the trait XX.
