Answer:

The correct answer is option b.

Explanation:

If one is sitting for a prolonged time and experiences pain in the buttocks, it could be an issue associated with tuberosity in the pelvis, that is, ischial tuberosity. It is also considered as the seat bones or the sit bones  

The pain one experiences while sitting for a long time may be due to inflammation or irritation of the ischial bursa, that is, a fluid-occupied sac situated between the ischial tuberosity and the tendons, which associates the hamstring muscles with the bones.  

The given case, in which redness occurs signifies stage 1 at the ischial tuberosity, that is, the first stage of pressure ulcer taking place in the ischial tuberosity. The ischial tuberosity is situated in the base of buttocks.

in a 3-point cross, crossovers that occur during the formation of which gametes can be scored using the phenotype of f2 progeny?
JulsSmile [24]

In gametes generated by F1 tri-hybrids and gametes produced by parents from true-breeding populations.

When non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material during meiosis, novel allelic combinations are created in the daughter cells. The locations of three genes in the genome of an organism are identified using a three-point cross. A homozygous recessive individual is crossed with a person who is heterozygous for three mutations, and the progeny's phenotypes are graded. When F1 progeny are self-pollinated, a 3:1 ratio of F2 progeny are created.

"what is total volume of the gas-exchanging region of the lungs?"
MrMuchimi
The total volume of the gas-exchanging region in the lung is called alveolar volume.

The alveolus is an air sack-like organ in the end of the respiratory airway. The alveolus is the site where gas-exchanging happens, so only air inside alveolus that will undergo actual exchange. Air in bronchus or trachea wouldn't do exchange
