Sternocleidomastoid muscles.

Explanation:

The neck movements like flexion, rotation, extension, lateral rotation and flexion are carried out by neck muscles which include the sternocleidomastoid muscle,  

The sternocleidomastoid muscle is a pair of muscle located superficially in the anterior neck.

The sternocleidomastoid muscles connects skull with the clavicle and hence is involved the head and neck motions.

The `bilateral contraction movements of sternocleidomastoid muscles aids in flexion of the neck and brings the chin down towards the breastbone.  

Platysma is a facial muscle and involved in facial expressions and mandibular movements

Semispinalis muscle is in the posterior neck and maintains posture and head movements.

Trapezius muscles lies at the back of the head.

Albinism in humans is caused by homozygosity for mutant recessive alleles of the tyr gene, which is located on chromosome 11. al

Exactly 989527/1048576, or approximately 94.37%  
Since each trait is carried on a different chromosome, the two traits are independent of each other. Since both parents are heterozygous for the trait, each parent can contribute 1 of a possible 4 combinations of the alleles. So there are 16 possible offspring. I'll use "a", "A", "b", "B" to represent each allele and the possible children are aabb, aabB, aaBb, aaBB, aAbb, aAbB, aABb, aABB, Aabb, AabB, AaBb, AaBB, AAbb, AAbB, AABb, and AABB 
Of the above 16 possibilities, there are 7 that are homozygous in an undesired traint and 9 that don't exhibit the undesired trait. So let's first calculate the probability of "what are the chances that all 5 children not exhibiting an undesired trait?" and then subtract that result from 1. So 
1-(9/16)^5 = 1 - 59049/1048576 = 989527/1048576 which is approximately 0.943686485 = 94.3686485%  
So the answer is exactly 989527/1048576, or approximately 94.37%

Research indicates that as levels of happiness increase, cortisol levels appear to increase as well. Please select the best answ
iogann1982 [59]

Cortisol hormones are stress hormones that increase blood glucose levels. When the level of happiness increases the level of cortisol does not increase.

<h3>What are cortisol and its function?</h3>

Cortisol is the steroidal hormone that is produced in the cortex of the adrenal glands and is discharged in the blood vessels when in stress or danger.

It has a variety of functions including regulation of the blood pressure, response to the stressful condition and increase of the metabolism of the body.

It also acts as happiness hormones along with adrenaline and oxytocin but is a major flight or fight hormone and increases the heart rate in dangerous conditions.

Therefore, the statement is false.
