<u>ANSWER:</u>

The muscles and joints allow the hands to perform their function of holding and grasping a wide variety of things.

<u>EXPLANATION:</u>

  • The structure of hands is "very delicate and complex". The tendons, nerve fibres, tissues and thin muscles are located right under the skin.
  • The bones of the hand including the 4 carpal bones, 5 metacarpal and 14 finger bones are all connected by joints and ligaments and these allow the hand to grasp things.
  • The wrist is made of "two parts of a joint" that allow the extension and stretching of hands.

An owl and a bat share the same kingdom and phylum; an owl and a robin share the same kingdom, phylum, and class. Which of the f
neonofarm [45]

The correct answer is - b. The owl and the robin have more characteristics in common.

All three animals are in fact connected, but the connections are very different. While the owl and the robin are closely related, their connection with the bat can be traced few hundred million years ago. The owl and the robin are both birds, they share common ancestors in the early transitional species of bird-like dinosaurs, and before that their ancestors were part of the dinosaurs. The bat on the other hand, is a mammal, and has evolved from the primitive shrew like mammals that got an open space after the dinosaurs disappeared, and while living along side them were living in their shadow. So the bat's connection to the owl and the robin is going much further into the geologic past, before the diversification of the species to mammals and reptiles.

azamat

Answer:

The correct answer is - the phenotypic ratio would be 9:3:3:1.

Explanation:

The two traits that are dominant are free earlobe and straight thumb that are denoted by the E and T on their alternative recessive alleles attached lobe and hitchhiker thumbs denoted by the e and t respectively. The heterozygous condition will be EeTt.

The cross between EeTt and EeTt will produce gametes ET, Et, eT, and et by each. The phenotypic ratio of the cross would be 9:3:3:1, which means 9 out of 16 offspring will be dominant in both trait, 3 will be free lobe and hitchhiker thumb, 3 will be straight thumb and attached earlobe, and 1 will be recessive in both traits. For the cross please check the attached image.

Thus, the correct answer is - the phenotypic ratio would be 9:3:3:1.
