The muscle group that has the largest size in circumference when it contracts is the quadriceps femoris which is a skeletal muscle. It is compose of 4 parts namely the rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus interomedialis and vastus medialis. It contracts because of the nerve supply from the precentral gyrus which is in the motor area of the brain. The nerve then goes to the quadriceps femoris and then to the rectus femoris then it contracts and extends the knee and flexes the thigh of the hip.

Ket [755]

Answer:

a. Zero percent

b. Fifty percent

Explanation:

As it has been mentioned in the question that both man and woman are normally pigmented and each one have an albino parent thus both will be heterozygous and their allelic makeup will be as follows -

Man - Aa

Woman - Aa

After a cross between Aa × Aa we get the following result-

One AA, Two Aa and One aa

It is clear that only the aa type of offsprings will be albino.

Out of 4 there is probability of only one to be albino so out of two there will be 50% probability of being albino.

The probability of both sons to be albino will be zero percent.
