Which sectional planes of the body could show parts of both lungs and the heart?
1 answer:
In the study of the human body, there are what are known as anatomical or sectional planes. These are used to make communication of reference points standardized and easier among medical personnel and the like. In other words, anatomical planes are there so we know organs are located. Anatomical planes are like points-of-views where the body is cut and the organs are viewed. They are called: the sagittal view, transverse view, or coronal view.
For this particular question the heart and lungs can be viewed using the sagittal cut or sagittal view. This view is made by making an imaginary cut or line along the middle most vertical axis of the body. Imagine a line at the very middle of your body starting from your head down to your feet, dividing your left and right sides. That is the sagittal view.
The transverse view is cutting the body in half with a horizontal plane dividing your upper body and lower body. While the coronal view is cutting the body in the middle but this time dividing your front and back. When you think of coronal, think of the "crown" of the head being cut.

Suppose that the proportion of the white crest alleles (r) is given by w and that of the Red crest allele (R) is given by p. We have that p+w=1. The probability that an individual has 2 r alleles is given by w*w since for each allele position the probability is w. Only these individuals have a White phenotype. Hence, we get that w^2=
; the right hand side is the proportion of white birds in the total population. Doing the calculations, this yields that w=0.37. From this, we calculate that p=0.63. The possible ways we have heterozygous individuals are the combinations Rr and rR. The probability for each of those is p*w. Thus, the total probability is 2pw. This is equal to 0.466=0.47. This is the fraction of the future population that is going to be heterozygous assuming the conditions of the Handy-Weinberg equilibrium like random reproductive matching etc.
