Answer:

Tendons may also attach muscles to structures such as the eyeball. A tendon serves to move the bone or structure. A ligament is a fibrous connective tissue which attaches bone to bone, and usually serves to hold structures together and keep them stable.

What kind of mutation would occur if a sequence of DNA is changed from ATCGGCTTAACG to ATCGGCTAAACG?

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Base substitution mutation

Explanation:

Mutation is the alteration or change that occurs to the sequence of a gene caused by a mutagen (chemicals) or spontaneously-induced. Depending on how the mutation occurs, it is of different types. The mutation shown in this question is as follows:

ATCGGCTTAACG to ATCGGCTAAACG

This type of mutation is called SUBSTITUTION MUTATION. Substitution mutation is a type of mutation that involves the replacement of one or more nucleotide base by another. In this original sequence; ATCGGCTTAACG, the eight base T was replaced by base A in the sequence, hence, it is a substitution mutation.

Which of the following correctly matches the equilibrium receptor organs to the type of equilibrium it monitors?

Anarel [89]

Answer:

The correct answer is option B. maculae/ static equilibrium.

Explanation:

Maculae are mechanoreceptors present inside the saccule and utricle specialized for the static equilibrium detecting. Maculae use hair cells to find out the movements of the otolithic membrane occurs, which is the surrounding membrane of the macula.

The sense of the position of the head to determine the stability and posture is static equilibrium and it is determined by the maculae.

Thus, the correct answer is option- B. maculae/ static equilibrium.

A population of mussels was observed in a particular ecosystem. Crabs have recently been observed occupying this ecosystem, whic

Zina [86]

Mussels are molluscans and are freshwater animals. The change in the environment led to new traits of mussels, it underwent natural selection and the thick shells have high chances of survival.

<h3>What is natural selection?</h3>

Natural selection is a process of nature that eliminates the organism with less survival and unfit traits while selecting the organisms with better traits of survival in the altered conditions.

The arrival or the introduction of the crabs in the environment altered the previous habitat of the mussels and led to the adaptation of the better trait quality in the mussel species.

The trait of the thick shells underwent natural selection as they were favoured for the changed conditions. The mussel having thick shells have high chances of survival over thin-shelled mussels as the crab will find it hard to attack the thick-shelled mussels.

Therefore, option A. change in environment, option B. natural selection and option E. chances of survival are the correct statements.

Basic body color for horses is influenced by several genes, one of which has several different alleles. Two of these alleles— th

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

<h2>No,</h2><h2>Phenotypic Ratio: 1 Chestnut : 2 Palomino : 1 Dilute</h2>

Explanation:

As given:

The chestnut (dark brown) allele and a diluting (pale cream) alleles show incomplete dominance, means that both the alleles in heterozygous condition show their effect. So the heterozygous show the phenotype which is intermediate of both the parents, here a horse heterozygous for these two alleles is a palomino.

There is in fact, no particular allele present for palomino, this phenotype only results due to having two different alleles for a gene. So, palominos can never be pure-breeding because they can never be homozygous.

Let P1 chestnut and P2 dilute,

Palomino is P1P2

The Punnett’s Square for palomino mated to palomino:

P1P2× P1P2

Gametes are: parent-1 P1 and P2 , parent-2: P 1 and P2

Progeny are: P1P1, P1P 2, P 2 P1, P2 P2

Genotypic Ratio: 1 P1P 1 : 2 P1P 2 : 1 P2P 2

Phenotypic Ratio: 1 Chestnut : 2 Palomino : 1 Dilute
