Answer: DORSIFLEXION

EXPLANATION:

There are about six classic movements of the foot. They include:

1. Dorsal flexion (dorsiflexion)

Flexion movement of the ankle that results in the top of the foot moving toward the anterior tibia in the sagittal plane.

This movement is achieved by the muscles in the anterior compartment of the leg.

2. Plantar flexion

Extension movement of the ankle that results in the foot and/or toes moving away from the body in the sagittal plane.

3. Eversion

Turning the sole of the foot outward or laterally in the frontal plane; abduction

Ex: weight on inner edge of foot.

4. Inversion

Turning the sole of the foot inward or medially in the frontal plane; adduction

Ex: weight on outer edge of foot.

5. Pronation

A position of the foot and ankle resulting form a combination of ankle dorsiflexion, subtalar eversion, and forefoot abduction (toe-out).

6. Supination

A position of the foot and ankle resulting from a combination of ankle plantar flexion, subtalar inversion, and forefoot adduction (toe-in).

melamori03 [73]
<span>The answer is that there will be no change.

 The cardiac output is the volume of blood pumped by the heart per unit time.

Multiplying the stroke volume and the heart rate gives you the cardiac output. The cardiac output for a person at rest is approximately 5L per minute.</span>

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

1. The parents genotypes could have been BO and AO

2. wire-hair

Explanation:

There are four possible blood types which are type A, B, AB, O. blood group is the classification of blood based on the presence or the absence of inherited antigenic substances on the surface of the red blood cells. They have hereditary basis and also rely on a series of alternative genes sometimes used in solving dispute of parental heritage. With the four possible blood groups, there are six possible genotypes and these are:

Blood type               possible genotypes

Type A                         AA, AO

Type B                         BB, BO

Type AB                           AB

Type O                              OO

Thus, for parents with blood type B and A to give birth to a child with blood type O, it means their genotype could have been both BO and AO  for them to be able to produce a child with OO. a cross between these two could give rise to OO.

Question 2

Wire hair is dominant (S) to smooth (s), thus wire hair could be in the homozygous (SS) and heterozygous form (Ss) and the smooth hair can only be expressed in the homozygous recessive form (ss).

thus, in a cross between homozygous wire haired and smooth haired, we will have:

homozygous wire haired            homozygous smooth haired

P gen              SS                x               ss

F1 gen.                                Ss

phenotype:                     wire haired
