MakcuM [25]3 years ago

The monozygotic twins develop from the same fertilised egg. Hence the genetic composition or the make of both the twins are same. The differences in the height, weight, behaviour, and complexion of the twins exist not because of the underlying genetics but because of the environmental factors affecting the genes' activity.

The regulatory markers (chemical markers like the presence of methyl or acetyl group on the nucleotides) present on the identical genes present in both the twins differ. This is the epigenome of the twins. Epigenome is influenced by several external factors and affects the amount of gene products based on the regulatory markers over the gene.

How is a tendon different from a ligament? A. A tendon joins a bone to a bone; a ligament joins a muscle to a bone. B. A tendon
rusak2 [61]
B is correct. A tendon will join a muscle to a bone, and a ligament joins a bone to another bone. I think of it this way, partly influenced by my biology teacher:

- The achilles tendon, at the back of your foot, clearly joins foot to calf muscle
- The word ligament comes from 'deligare' in Latin, which roughly means to tie           together. A ligament 'ties' two bones together

I hope this helps

Which of the following structures is NOT a part of the respiratory system?
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

Uvula.

Explanation:

Respiration may be defined as the process of exchange of gases between the body tissue, lungs and the environment. Oxygen is inhaled and carbon dioxide is exhaled out during the process of respiration.

The choanae, external nares, epiglottis and mouth plays an important role in respiration. Uvula is mainly involved in the production of the salivary gland. The uvula moistens the area and also involved in the speech process. Hence, uvula do not play important role in respiration.

Thus, the correct answer is option (b).
