Tendon sheaths ________. Tendon sheaths ________. are lined with dense irregular connective tissue help anchor the tendon to the

muscle are extensions of periosteum act as friction-reducing structures
Biology

leonid [27]3 years ago

Answer:

Tendon sheaths <u>act as friction-reducing structures.</u>

Explanation:

Tendon sheaths are fibrous tissue that is around tendons to protect and make the movements of these smoother. For example, they reduce the friction of the flexors and extensors tendons of the hand. These are tendons that we constantly use to open and close our hands when we want to grab objects. Without the sheath, the tendons will not move easily, and due to the excessive use, there can be inflammation.

The sheats have two layers, one internal, which is a synovial one that produces synovial fluid to lubricate the tendon, and the external, which is a fibrous layer.

The appearance of fossils would the the answer.

Although there has been some scientific debate about what fossil strata should mark the beginning of this period, the "International Geological Congress" determined that the Cambrian period was approximately 543 million years ago of which the first appearance in the fossil record of worms that made horizontal burrows was discovered.

An individual with Huntington disease has two normal parents. What are plausible explanations for this pattern of inheritance? C
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer and Explanation:

The Huntington disease is caused by a mutation in the gene that codifies for the Huntingtin protein (Htt). The mutation produces an altered form of the protein leading to the neuron´s death in certain areas of the brain.

The Huntington disease characterizes for being,

  • Hereditary, passing from generation to generation. To express the disease, a person must have been born with an altered gene.
  • Autosomal, affecting men and women equally, because the mutated gene is located on an autosomal chromosome.
  • Dominant, which means that by getting only one copy of the altered gene coming from any of the parents, the receiving person will express the disease. The mutation in the gene dominates over the normal gene copy.
  • Expressed by heterozygosis. Most people affected by the disease are heterozygous, with a normal copy and a mutated copy.

There are just a few cases all around the world (3% approximately) in which the disease is expressed with no family history. The progenitors are not affected by the mutation. These cases are very rare and are called <u>"de-novo" mutations.</u> A new mutation is spontaneously produced and it is not inherited from any of the parentals. It consists of an increase in the number of CAG repetitions. In a normal person, the number of CAG repetitions is less than 35. When there are 40 or more repetitions it occurs the disease. But when there are between 35 and 39 repetitions, the penetrance of the disease is incomplete. This is a "gray zone". Those alleles that fall in the gray zone are unstable and might produce the HD. Individuals with these unstable alleles have a tendency to increase the number of repetitions from generation to generation until the number reaches 40 repetitions and the person expresses the disease. This <u>usually occurs in the paternal germinal line</u>, as it is particularly unstable in sperm and probably meiosis greatly affects their instability, causing an increase in the number of CAG repeats.

Arrange the three kinds of nitrogenous wastes based on the energy required to synthesize them, beginning with the waste product
Evgen [1.6K]

the three kinds of nitrogenous wastes based on the energy required to synthesize them are arranged; Ammonia < urea < uric acid.

Nitrogenous wastes are the nitrogen compounds that organisms use to get rid of excess nitrogen. Ammonia, urea, and uric acid are the most common nitrogenous wastes that animals excrete. Protein metabolism generates all of these nitrogenous wastes.

Ammonia is the most toxic of these nitrogenous wastes, and it is the most common but requires the least energy. Urea is more harmful than uric acid, but it is less harmful than ammonia, reducing the amount of energy required to synthesize it. Uric acid is the least harmful, a non-poisonous particle with four nitrogen molecules. This is useful for birds and reptiles that lay hard eggs because it eliminates the most nitrogen, uses the least amount of water, and is not toxic. It also takes the most energy input.

Considering that nearly 85 percent of corn crops are genetically engineered, which impact does genetically engineered corn have
atroni [7]
Genetically modified crops are genetically engineered such that a desired trait is enhanced or reproduced to appear in every offspring. Genetically engineered corn has been engineered to resist pests and herbicides; thus, we have more yield and many people especially in the low class society can afford. A disadvantage, yet is still a debate, is that genetically engineered crops such as corn, has toxic effects to internal organs such as our liver, a vital internal organ.
