a form of muscular hypertonicity with increased resistance to stretch. It usually involves <span>theflexors</span> of the arms and the extensors of the legs. The hypertonicity is often associated <span>withweakness,</span> increased deep reflexes, and diminished superficial reflexes. Moderate spasticity ischaracterized by movements that require great effort and lack of normal coordination.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The flexor muscles of the arms and the extensor muscles of legs are involved in the spastic hemiplegic gait.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

It is the condition in which effected person can not lift his leg to much due to the inability of his extensor to stretch.
This is due to the high amount of tone accumulated in leg muscles a condition known as hypertonic gait.
Extensors and flexors are antagonistic muscles means they have opposite effect to each other. They are the biceps and triceps muscles.

Mendel also wondered if the inheritance of one trait affected the inheritance

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

A. dihybrid crosses

Explanation:

A dihybrid cross can be defined as a mating experiment between two lines/varieties/organisms that differ in two phenotypic traits. By using pea plants, Mendel performed dihybrid crosses in order to analyze the mode of inheritance of both phenotypic traits at the same time. From these mating experiments, Mendel observed that the inheritance factors (nowadays called genes) sorted independently from one another in the next generation, which is called the principle/law of Independent Assortment.

Each ABO blood group is associated with the presence/absence of RBC antigens and the presence/absence of antibodies in the plasm

harina [27]

Answer:

a. Type O blood - No A or B antigens on RBCs-Anti-A antibodies in plasma-Anti-B antibodies in plasma

b. Type A blood - A antigen on RBCs- Anti-B antibodies in plasma

c. Type B blood - B antigen on RBCs- Anti-A antibodies in plasma

d. Type AB blood - A antigen on RBCs- B antigen on RBCs- Neither anti-A or anti-B in plasma

Explanation:

ABO blood grouping system represents multiple allelism which was discovered in humans by Karl Landsteiner. The blood group is determined by the presence or absence of A & B antigens and antibodies.

The 4 blood groups which exist in ABO system are O, A, B and AB. Also, allele A and B are co-dominant i.e. if they both will exist on the surface of an RBC then both will be equally expressed which implies that there will be no dominant or recessive allele.

Type O blood group has H antigen on the surface of RBC and has both the antibodies i.e. antibody A and B. The absence of antigens A and B makes it a universal donor.

Type A blood group has A antigen on RBC and has antibody B in the plasma.

Type B blood group has B antigen on RBC and has antibody A in the plasma.

Type AB blood group has both the antigens i.e. antigen A and B on RBC and does not have any antibody in the plasma which makes it a universal acceptor.
