Answer:

The correct answer is that X-rays are dangerous mutagens.

Explanation:

X-rays refers to the rays, which are used for examining dental and bone scans. These are the compelling mutagens, which signifies that they can result in mutations in the genomes of the organism getting exposed to the rays directly. X-rays are electromagnetic radiations, and mutagens refer to any agent, which can produce serious modifications in DNA.  

Thus, protection is needed at the time of getting exposed to the X-rays, due to which a protective vest is recommended in the given case.

Sartorius is inserted in the tibia.

Sartorius muscle is orginated from the iliac spine of the pelvioc bone. This muscle is the longest muscle of the human body. This muscle runs down on the thigh's anterior compartment.

The sartorius muscle is inserted in the anteromedial surface of the proximal tibia in the pesanserius. The insertion can be shown on the upper medial  of the tibia. Femoral nerve innervates the sartorius muscle.

Compared the Mendelian Dominance, how to incomplete dominance and codominance increase the number of phenotypes? Provide an exam
REY [17]

Answer/Explanation:

<h3>Incomplete dominance</h3>

In incomplete dominance, one allele is not entirely dominant over the other, so heterozygotes (organisms with two different alleles for the gene) show an intermediate or blended phenotype.

For example, consider flower colour.

  • If the allele for red flowers (R) was dominant over the allele for white flowers (r), then there are three possible genotypes (RR, Rr, and rr) and two possible phenotypes. (Red (RR and Rr) and white (rr)).
  • However, if the allele for red flowers (R) was incompletely dominant over the allele for white flowers (r), then there are three possible genotypes (RR, Rr, rr), and three possible phenotypes (red (RR), white (rr), and pink (Rr))
<h3>Co-dominance</h3>

In incomplete dominance, two alleles are both expressed, one is not dominant over the other. Therefore, heterozygotes (organisms with two different alleles for the gene) express both traits.

For example, consider flower patterns.

  • If the allele for spots (F) was dominant over the allele for stripes (f), then there are three possible genotypes (FF, Ff, and ff) and two possible phenotypes. (Spots (Ff and ff) and stripes (ff)).
  • However, if the allele for spots (F) was co-dominant to the allele for stripes (f), then there are three possible genotypes (FF, Ff, ff), and three possible phenotypes (spots (FF), stripes (ff), and spots and stripes (Ff))
