Answer:

The correct answer is C. <em>Greater throcanter of the femur.</em>

Explanation:

Hip fractures describe all those fractures that occur in the proximal extremity of the femur.

According to the location of the fracture in the extremity, it can affect the femoral head, the femoral neck, the trochanter of the femur or the area under the femur.

Most of the hip fractures occur in older people, mostly in women, and mainly, the causes of fractures are falls or missteps.

For the treatment, there are some surgery options, among other more conservatory. One of them is <u>hip pinning</u>, which is considered a good option for fractures that occur in the<u> greater and lesser part of the trochanter</u> in the femur bone.

Prior to the work of mendel, inheritance was viewed as resulting from ______
densk [106]

Prior to the work of Mendel, inheritance was viewed as resulting from the BLENDING of phenotypic traits within fixed, unchanging species. Mendel discovered how traits are inherited across generations.

Mendel was a scientist who experimented on pea hybrids and now he is known as the father of modern genetics.

The Mendel principles include:

  • The Law of Segregation posits that phenotypic inherited traits can be controlled by two 'factors' (i.e., alleles), which separate (i.e., segregate) and pass into germinal gametic cells.

  • The Law of Independent Assortment posits that these factors do not depend upon each other, but instead, alleles are independently sorted into germinal (gametes) cells.

Answer:

Option B, the loss of symbiotic algae

Explanation:

Coral and algae form a symbiotic relationship in which the chlorophyll (the photosynthesis pigment) is responsible for the providing food and color to the coral. Due to unavoidable environmental conditions such as rising temperature of sea water, change in chemical constituents of sea water etc, the rate of photosynthesis done by algae  reduces due to the loss of chlorophyll and thus the coral turns white is color. The change of color of coral into white is called as coral bleaching

Thus option B, is correct.
