Answer:
A Origin
Explanation:
Sternocleidomastoid is the muscle found in the cervical and it’s the largest. It is responsible for the rotation and flexibility of the neck and is a very powerful and tissue-rich muscle.
The sternocleidomastoid muscle extends from the mastoid process of the temporal bone to the sternum and medial clavicle. When both sternocleidomastoid muscles contract, the head is flexed. The end of the muscle called ORIGIN connects to the sternum.
Answer:
The correct answer is: Attachment.
Explanation:
- Pilus are thread like structures which are present on the surface of the bacterial cell.
- They are mainly responsible for attaching the bacterial cells to a substrate, for obtaining food or to an eukaryotic cell for the purpose of infection.
- Pilus also mediate the process of conjugation in some bacterial cells.
- Conjugation is a process by which genetic material or plasmids are transferred from one bacteria to another through a channel formed in between the two bacteria by the help of the pilus.
- Pilus also helps the bacteria by preventing them from getting recognised by the immune cells in the host.
- A defective pilus will affect all the above processes, resulting in death of the bacteria.
Here is a hint, mitosis is the division of cells.
