In what way are the humerus and the femur similar?

The humerus-
A long bone of the upper forelimb. It articulates proximally with the scapula to form the soulder joint and distally with the radius and ulna to form the elbow joint.
<span>Proximally the humerus has a rounded projection known as the head. </span>

Cranially at the lateral aspect of the head is a large prominence- the greater tubercle. The lesser tubercle lies medially. Both tubercles act as a sight for muscle attachment. At the distal end of the humerus is a condyle which articulates with the radius & ulna & forms part of the elbow.

The diaphysis of the humerus is twisted.
<span>In the dog a supra condylar foramen is present- a large hole in the condyle.
</span>
The Femur-This is the thigh bone and is the largest bone in the body, it is a long bone and is similar in structure to the humerus in that it has a head, neck, shaft & lateral & medial condyles. The femoral head articulates with the acetabulum proximally to form the hip joint, lateral to the head is the greater trochanter and on the medialTh side is a lesser trochanter (for muscle attachment). At the distal end of the femur are 2 condyles that articulate with the tibia to form the stifle joint. Between the 2 condyles is the trochlear groove along which the patella can move.

Here is some information. Hope this helps ☺

<h3>Three tools Oceanographers use</h3>
  • Thermometer
  • Radar
  • Sonar

<h3>Functions of the tools.</h3>
  • Thermometer helps to measure the temperature of the ocean. Temperature  usually varies according to the season.

  • Radar helps to measure ocean currents and and it works under any type of weather condition.

  • Sonar is an instrument used to accurately measure the ocean depths through the use of sound waves.

You observe that your friend has dimples. dimples result from the presence of the dominant gene d; absence of dimples is a homoz
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

DD or Dd

Explanation:

Dimples is the dominant trait (D). Your friend has dimples so that means he or she should have at least one allele of the dominant trait to express that trait. So your friend would either be homozygous dominant (DD) or heterozygous dominant (Dd). Notice that there is a recessive allele in the second. Even with that present, dimples would be still expressed.

7. In some chickens, the gene for feather color is controlled by codominance. The allele for black is B and the allele for white
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

<em>Genotype is the genetic composition of organisms and a gene is made up of two alleles.</em>

a) Since the allele for black is B, <u>the genotype for black chickens would be BB. </u>

b) Since the allele for white is W, <u>the genotype for white chickens would be WW.</u>

c) Since erminette color is heterozygous,<u> the genotype would be BW.</u>

d) Two erminette were crossed:

         BW    x    BW

      BB BW BW WW

i. <em>Probability of having black chick (BB) </em>= 1/4

ii. <em>Probability of having a white chick (WW)</em> = 1/4

iii. <em>Probability of having erminette chicken (BW)</em> = 1/2
