Biology

vichka [17]4 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

The scientific theory of evolution was well explained by Charles Darwin when he published "On the origin of species" in 1859. He explained that species evolved when the species faced the pressure due to environment which leads to adaptation which resulted in survival. He called it survival of the fittest.

In evolution, the survival of the fittest due to adaptation has resulted in increasing the variations and complexity of the organism which is supported by the evidence collected by Darwin when he observed that Galapagos finches showed the  variations in the shape of the beaks due to different niches.

Thus, option C is the correct option .

If a Tt plant is crossed with a Tt plant, what is the chance that a tt offspring will be produced? 75% 25% 50% 100%
adoni [48]

Answer: the correct answer is 25%

T is the allele for tall plant, which is dominant trait. 't' is the allele for dwarf plant, which is a recessive trait.

Genotypes of the parent plants are- Tt and Tt. When they are crossed, there are 25% chances of producing tt offsprings. Refer the punnett square for this.

% of Offsprings with tt genotype = \frac{1}{4} \times 100

                                                      =  25%

Answer:

recurrent branch of median nerve

Explanation:

The recurrent branch of the median nerve is the branch of the median nerve which innervates the thenar muscles. It is also referred to as the thenar branch, or the thenar muscular branch, of the median nerve

This particular nerve is also called "Million Dollar Nerve" because injury to this nerve during carpal tunnel surgery can lead to a million dollar lawsuit. Injury to this nerve can lead to loss of function of the thumb. Such injury can happen if the transverse carpal tunnel ligament (flexor retinaculum) is transected too radially
