Answer:

Option (A).

Explanation:

Saddle joint is a type of synovial joint and also known as sellar joint. These joints are present in thumb, shoulder and inner ear.

The bone has one part concave inward and other part is convex outward. This bone can articulate with thumb's metacarpal and trapezium of the carpal bone. Saddle joints show abduction and adduction movements.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

Compare the biomes of New York City and Seattle. Whey are their biomes different?
exis [7]

Answer:

New York City: temperate deciduous forest

Seattle: temperate wet forest

Explanation:

New York City is characterized by a <u>Temperate Deciduous Forest biome</u>. This indicates that its climate is not stable but, instead, faces constant changes. The seasons are clear and marked, e.g. summer is warmer and trees begin to lose their leaves during fall (as it is supposed to be). New York's biome is also characterized by the presence of rain throughout the year. Plants such as conifers and mosses are predominant and wildlife species like red foxes, squirrels, and owls inhabit in this city / biome.

Seattle, on the other hand, is characterized by a T<u>emperate Wet Forest biome</u>, that is, warm and dry-summer subtropical climate. The seasons are marked but not as predominantly as in New York. Seattle is also characterized by more humid conditions in contrast to New York. Moreover, summers tend to be drier and warmer, making it more vulnerable to bushfires. Plants such as the western red cedar and the ponderosa pine are predominant and wildlife species like deers, coyotes, and bears inhabit in this region.

Carriers of the sickle-cell allele (i.e. those with a heterozygous genotype) are fittest in environments with high frequencies o
Ostrovityanka [42]
Individuals who are heterozygous for the sickle-cell allele suffer less from the attack of malaria because a small percentage of the red blood cells are sickle-shaped. They are more resistant to malaria than individuals who have two copies of the normal haemoglobin allele. Heterozygous individuals have a better chance of surviving and reproducing in regions where malaria is prevalent since they do not fully contract the disease.

Which of these best explains why mitochondria are called the "powerhouses" of the cell?
Sindrei [870]

<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

They generate chemical energy in the form of ATP.

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell because they "burn" or break the chemical bonds of glucose to release energy to do work in a cell. This releases energy (ATP) for the cell. The more active a cell (such as a muscle cell), the more mitochondria it will have.
