Over many generations, the fur on polar bears mutated white to help the bears hide better in the snow.

True.
Polar bears evolved from the brown bear. Their fur mutated from dark to adapt to the colder climate and to hide in the snow. Probably, in the past, there were some bears with mutated lighter fur. This trait allowed them to survive so that mutated gene was transmitted to the next generations. Lighter fur allowed them to retain body heat and better to hide during hunting. White bears had a higher fitness than brown bears in the cold climate, so generations later, all polar bears were white.

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

C - Contains the embryonic disk

Explanation:

After an egg is fertilized, it begins to divide into smaller cells, from the 1 cell stage, to 2, to 4 and so on. Then, on the third day, the cells fall within 16-200 cells and it is then called a morula.

On the fifth day, the morula becomes a ball of calls which is now differentiated into an inner cell mass and a trophectoderm. The inner cell mass becomes the embryo as development goes on and the trophectoderm, becomes the placenta.

As development goes on further, the floor of the amniotic cavity is formed by the embryonic disk, a layer of prismatic cells derived from the inner cell mass.

The embryonic disc develops into 3 layers:

Endoderm
Mesoderm
Ectoderm

There is a major differentiation of cells which gives a template for the origin of development of specific organs of the embryo.

Helen [10]

The triceps brachii muscle attaches to the olecranon process of the ulna crossing the posterior side of the elbow joint. that will allow the triceps to be an Extensor of the elbow joint.

Directly affected is the common extensor tendon, which arises from the lateral epicondyle of the elbow.
The common extensor tendon is made up of the extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB) and longus, extensor digitorum, extensor digiti minimi, and extensor carpi ulnaris.
The main elbow flexors are the biceps brachii, brachialis, and brachioradialis.
The main elbow extensor is the triceps brachii. Although it is also believed that the anconeus contributes to elbow extension.
The proximal articular region of the ulna is called the olecranon. It creates the larger sigmoid notch, which articulates with the humerus to allow for elbow flexion and extension, together with the coronoid process.
The main point of attachment for the forearm's extensor muscles is the common extensor tendon. This promotes forearm supination and allows finger extension.
