Answer: B. dissection

Autopsy or postmortem is a medical examination of human body that is performed to know the cause, manner and duration since death. The autopsy involves complete examination of the body. The external examination gives indication of situation of the body : number of injury, color changes due to the affect of poisons. Internal examination gives indication of condition of organ in the body of deceased. For a complete internal examination dissection is required. Autopsy is complete when all four cavities like cranial, thoracic, abdominal and pelvic are open through dissection, which allows the assessment of organs present in these cavities. Opening of the intestinal cavity will give a way to assess the intestine, which can be dissected to know the contents present in it.

The correct answer is option (D) internal examination.

Autopsy or the post-mortem examination is a surgical procedure involving the detailed examination of a corpse by dissection. It is done to evaluate the cause, manner and the mode of death.

Basically there are three steps in the process of autopsy. They are-

1. External examination- It involves the collection of the external evidence which includes the kind of clothes, position of the body or any external material on the external surface of the body. The body is then photographed, cleaned, weighed and a general description of the body is noted.

2. Internal examination- Many incisions are made on the body to inspect the internal organs of the body by dissection. It exposes the body parts like the lungs, heart, stomach and the intestinal contents and the brain. The organs are removed and studied to evaluate the cause of death.

3. Reconstitution of the body- The body cavity is lined with cotton, wool and other organs are placed in a plastic bag to prevent the leakage and added back to the body and sewn back.

slega [8]

Answer:

1:1:1:1 walnut comb

Explanation:

If a cross is made between a female who is RRpp (rose comb) and a male who is rrPP (pea comb)  then:

P: RRpp  x  rrPP

F1: RrPp RrPp RrPp RrPp

This means that all of the offspring in F1 generation will have heterozygous genotype (at both loci). Since it contains both dominant alleles, the phenotype is walnut comb.
