________ attach skeletal muscles to bones, and ________ connect one bone to another

Biology
1 answer:
Kay [80]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: B. Tendons; ligaments

Explanation: Tendons are white, inelastic and tough connective tissue that attach skeletal muscle to bone. Tendons attach muscles to structures such as the eyeball. Fibres in tendons are arranged as compact parallel bundles.

A ligament is a yellow, elastic and strong fibrous connective tissue which attaches bone to bone. Ligaments usually hold bones together and keep them stable. Fibres of the ligament are compactly packed and but they are not arranged in parallel bundles as that of tendons.

Potential Energy on the way up the rollercoaster
Nana76 [90]

Answer: Because The potential energy you build going up the hill can be released as kinetic energy — the energy of motion that takes you down the hill. Once you start cruising down that first hill, gravity takes over and all the built-up potential energy changes to kinetic energy. Gravity applies a constant downward force on the cars.Potential energy is the energy an object has as a result of its position. Potential energy is stored energy that has not yet been released. Gravitational potential energy is potential energy that results from an object's position in a gravitational field, and is equal to the object's weight multiplied by its height.

A genetically heterogeneous population of rice has a mean in the number of days to maturation of 30. Selection for decreased per
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

h² = 0.6

Explanation:

Before answering the question, we need to know a few concepts.

<u>Artificial selection</u> is the selecting practice of a specific group of organisms in a population -that carry the traits of interest- to be the parents of the following generations.

Parental individuals carrying phenotypic values of interest are selected from the whole population. These parents interbreed, and a new generation is produced.

<u>The selection differential, SD,</u> is the difference between the mean value of the trait in the population (X₀) and the mean value of the parents, (Xs). So,  

SD = X₀ - Xs

<u>Heritability in the strict sense, h²</u>, is the genetic component measure to which additive genetic variance contributes. The heritability might be used to determine how the population will respond to the selection done, R.  

h² = R/SD

The <u>response to selection (R) </u>refers to the metric value gained from the cross between the selected parents. R can be calculated by multiplying the heritability h², with the selection differential, SD.  

R = h²SD  

R also equals the difference between the new generation phenotypic value (X₁) and the original population phenotypic value (X₀),  

R = X₀ - X₁

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now that we know these concepts and how to calculate them, we can solve the proposed problem.

Available data:  

  • You are selecting rice´s decreased period of maturation.
  • The population of rice has a mean maturation time of 30 days → X₀
  • Parental selected average period to maturation is 25 days → Xs
  • F1 plants mature on average in 27 days → X₁
  • N arrow sense Heritability → h²

According to what we sow previously, we need to find out the value of h².

We know that h² = R/SD, so we need to get R and SD first.  

R = X₁ - X₀

R = 27 - 30

R = -3

SD = Xs -  X₀  

SD = 25 - 30

SD = -5

Knowing this, we can calculate h²

h² = R/SD

h² = -3/-5  

h² = 0.6
