Answer:

The sternum, thoracic vertebrae, and ribs protect the heart and lungs.

Explanation:

The skeleton can be divided into the <em>axial skeleton</em> (the skull and the vertebral column), <em>visceral skeleton</em> (ribs and sternum) and the <em>appendicular skeleton</em> (extremities).

The function of the <em><u>visceral skeleton</u></em> is to <em>support and protect</em> the first portion of the digestive and cardio-breathing apparatus.

In mammals, the second part of the vertebral column (thoracic vertebrae), the ribs and the sternum delimitate a protective box for lungs and heart.

2. In some dogs the allele for barking is dominant to the allele for non barking. How would a breeder get a strain of pure breed
OLga [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

Dominant traits are traits that are visible in the phenotype of an organism.

If barking is dominant in some allele of the dog and it has both male and female then a cross between the male and female with the dominant allele for barking will give a strain of pure breeder barkers.

A recessive allele cannot breed a pure barker because it does not have the allele for barking.

Hence a cross between two individual that dominos of the allele will breed true type.
