The outer ear consists of the pinna, the part you can easily see and feel, and the ear canal. The pinna helps to gather the sound waves<span> around us. These </span>sound waves<span>travel down the ear canal where they strike the ear drum. The ear drum separates the outer and middle ear.</span>

Consider a gene with three alleles controlling coloration of a flowering plant. There are 3 possible phenotypes, corresponding t
Andrews [41]

Answer:

C. A1A2, A1A3

Explanation:

This question depicts a gene coding for coloration in a flowering plant. The gene is controlled by multiple alleles, three specifically. The alleles are labelled A1, A2, and A3, with each coding for it's own respective trait.

According to the question, A1 is dominant over A2 and A3 i.e. A1 will always mask the phenotypic expression of A2 and A3 and express itself. Also, A2 is dominant over A3 i.e. A2 will always mask the phenotypic expression of A3. This overall means that the trait encoded by allele A3 will only be expressed when the same alleles are present.

To the question; since A1 is dominant over the other two alleles (A2 and A3), it will be phenotypically expressed ahead of them in a heterozygous state with both alleles. That is, A1A2 genotype will give rise to a phenotype encoded by A1. Also, A1A3 will produce a phenotype encoded by A1. Hence, genotypes A1A2 and A1A3 will express the same phenotypes.

A2A2 and A3A3 will express different phenotypes since they are both in a same alleles condition. Likewise for A1A1 and A3A3. A2A3 and A1A3 genotypes will express different phenotypes encoded by A2 and A1 respectively since they are both dominant over A3.

After surgery for bilateral adrenalectomy, the client is kept on bed rest for several days. which exercise will be most effectiv
AnnyKZ [126]

For walking, a group of four muscles, known as Quadriceps muscles are the most important. A complete bed rest for a longer period of time causes the reduction in the flexibility of the quadriceps. So, in order to prepare a person for ambulating after a long bed rest, the nurse should focus to restore the flexibility in the quadriceps. This can be done by alternating flexing and relaxing the quadriceps. This exercise would help in reviving the strength of the quadriceps.

How would the human population be different if crossing over did not happer during meiosis?
natta225 [31]

Answer:

Without crossing over, each chromosome would be either maternal or paternal, greatly reducing the number of possible genetic combinations, which would greatly reduce the amount of genetic variation between related individuals and within a species

Alborosie

Answer:

B. "Whispered pectoriloquy" - "speaking from the chest"; used as a means of finding masses in the lung. The whispered word is audible in areas where fluid or a mass is present

Explanation:

Auscultation in medicine, is the action of listening to sounds from the heart, lungs, or other organs, usually using a stethoscope, in order to perform medical diagnosis.

Auscultation is performed for the purposes of examining the circulatory and respiratory systems, as well as the alimentary canal. The procedure is best performed in a quiet examination room. A stethoscope is used to magnify internal sounds. Small changes in breath sounds are carefully observed in order to make a diagnosis.

Whispered pectoriloquy is used to detect vocal resonance. It is  used as a means of finding masses (consolidations e.g. pus) in the lung and is performed by having the patient quietly whisper a word. If fluid or a mass is present, words that are whispered may be heard clearly.
