The extensor hallucis longus muscle inserts on digit __________.

1 answer:

8 0

This muscle inserts on digit 1 of the foot. It is located between the tibialis anterior and the extensor digitorum longus. Its purpose is to extend the big toe of the foot and dorsiflexes it (meaning to bring it closer to the shin). It also helps foot eversion and inversion.

Hope it helps.

Explanation:

Gamete formation involves the random and independent segregation of alleles. During anaphase 1 (meiosis), occurs the independent separation of homologous chromosomes that migrate to opposite poles of the cell. This separation generates different chromosomal combinations in the daughter cells. There are two alternatives per homologous pair.

The number of gametes with different combinations is 2ⁿ, where

n = number of homologous pairs.

In the exposed example there are 4 pairs of chromosomes, so

the number of possible combinations of chromosomes = 2ⁿ = 2⁴ = 16

Individual: AaBbCcDdEe

You can make use of the fork line method to easily figure out the possible gametes.

Describe the structure and function of the main components of a leaf<br><br>

Reil [10]

Answer: HOPE IT HELPS MARK AS BRAINLIEST . BYE

Explanation:

Leaf, in botany, any usually flattened green outgrowth from the stem of a vascular plant. As the primary sites of photosynthesis, leaves manufacture food for plants, which in turn ultimately nourish and sustain all land animals. Botanically, leaves are an integral part of the stem system, and they are initiated in the apical bud (growing tip of a stem) along with the tissues of the stem itself. Certain organs that are superficially very different from the usual green leaf are formed in the same manner and are actually modified leaves; among these are the sharp spines of cacti, the needles of pines and other conifers, and the scales of an asparagus stalk or a lily bulb.

How is our genetic material determined? Explain using what you know about heredity.

Neko [114]

DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid, is the genetic material in your cells. It was passed on to you from your parents and determines your characteristics. The discovery that DNA is the genetic material was another important milestone in molecular biology

Heredity, also called inheritance or biological inheritance, is the passing on of traits from parents to their offspring; either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction, the offspring cells or organisms acquire the genetic information of their parents
