Answer:

Medial

Explanation:

Lateral refers to a part of the body that is furthest away from the centre (the centre would refer to an imaginary line from the top of the head through the nose, down the belly button and straight down to the feet). For example, the ear is lateral to the nose. The term lateral comes from Latin, meaning "to the side".

Medial is the opposite, and refers to a part of the body closest to the centre, or the medial plane. So, the nose is lateral to the ears.

The attached picture is a helpful tool for remembering this and other anatomical terms

An objects position is always defined relative to a reference point. If the object changes position, its motion can be described
Orlov [11]
The position of the diver is described as "below a certain point"; therefore, the reference point must be above the diver. For a diver in the middle of his dive, the bottom of the pool, the other swimmers and the far side of the swimming pool are likely to be below the diver, or at level with the diver at most. Out of the options, the only point of reference that is likely to be above the diver is B. the diving board.

What criteria would you use to assess the reproductive success of a plant?
alexira [117]
Reproductive success is defined as the passing of genes onto the next generation in a way that they too can pass on those genes. This is not solely the number of offspring produced by an individual, but also, as Ronald Fisher outlined in 1915, the probable reproductive success of those offspring, making mate choice (a form of sexual selection) an important factor in this success,[1] making biological fitness a key element in the theories of natural selection and evolution.
