Extension or straightening of the elbow stops when the proximal end of the ulna engages the olecranon fossa of the humerus.

Explanation:

Extension of the elbow is the straightening of the forearm or bringing it back to its anatomical position by the triceps brachii and the anconeus muscles.

The elbow joint, a hinge type of joint, is formed at the conjunction of humeral distal end with the ulnar proximal end.

Olecranon process is a structure at the ulnar distal end which fits exactly into the olecranon process at the humeral proximal head with the arm in extended position.

Olecranon fossa is a <em>triangular</em> depression or fossa which is deep in the posterior humerus. So the range of motion due to extension of forearm terminates or limits at the contact of the ulnar olecranon process with that of the humeral olecranon process at the olecranon fossa.

In a sample population of people, 36% have the recessive trait of "free" earlobes (q2). What is the frequency of the dominant al
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Explanation

Given that 36% are recessive in traits

100-36 = 64% for dominant traits considering a whole population to be 100%

P=dominant allele

q= recessive allele

P2= dominant genotype

q2= recessive genotype

according to hardyweinberg principle, p+q=1

64/100= 0.64 frequency for dominant traits or genotype, therefore

p2=0.64

then

P=√0.64

p= 0.8

Therefore, dominant allele frequency (p) for the population is 0.8

8. In chickens, brown feathers are dominant over red feathers. Suppose we cross two heterozygous chickens.
devlian [24]

Answer:

Crossing two chickens heterozygous for the trait feather color, when brown feathers are dominant over red feathers, will produce offspring with brown and red feathers in a brown:red phenotypic ratio of 3:1.

Explanation:

Knowing that in chickens brown feathers are the expression of the dominant allele (B) and the recessive allele is red (b), crossing two heterozygous individuals (Bb) will result in offspring that are likely to have brown or red feathers.

The cross can be represented by a Punnett Square:

<u>Bb X Bb cross </u>

alleles     B    b

B             BB Bb  

b             Bb bb

Where the result is:

<u>Genotypes</u>:  

  • Bb, 50%
  • BB, 25%
  • bb, 25%

<u>Phenotypes</u>:

  • Brown feathers, 75%
  • Red feathers, 25%.

In this case, the probability of having brown or red feathers is 3:1.

Why knowledge of physics would help a runner?
Naya [18.7K]
Physics is very common in our lives, and of course this also applies to the performance of a runner.
For example, he or she needs to understand the air resistance when running, they may need to find a way to reduce the most air resistance that is against them so that they can show their best performance.
Or another example is they may need to find out the friction acting on between their feet and the track, they may need to adjust their training in different textures of running tracks, as each acts a different amount of friction.
