Spinal traction with metal tongs in the skull is used to treat a fracture of the

The answer to this question would be: vertebrae 

In vertebrae fracture, traction is important to assure immobilization of the vertebrae. Movement can cause the fragment of bone in the fracture damaging the neural tissue in the vertebrae.
To ensure no movement in the neck, metal tongs can be put on the skull. The tongs will help fixate the skull with the shoulder.

n garden peas, the allele for tall plants is dominant over the allele for short plants. Suppose that a true-breeding tall plant
muminat

Answer:

25% of the heterozygous cross are short, and the offspring of a homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive pea plant will always display the dominant trait (phenotype), because they are heterozygous.

Explanation:

In this explanation, I'm assuming that the allele "T" for tall plants is dominant to the allele "t" for short plants, like in Gregor Mendel's pea plant experiment.

A homozygous tall pea plant will have the genotype "TT" and a homozygous short plant will have the genotype "tt" because homozygous means that both alleles are identical. Since "T" is dominant over "t", any plant with at least one "T" allele will be tall (the dominant trait), regardless of what the other allele is. Let's look at a Punnett square for this cross:

Male cones grow near the of the plant while female cones are located near the
Rom4ik [11]

Male cones grow near the<u> lower region</u> of the plant, while female cones are located near the<u> top of the tree.</u>

Sexual Reproduction in Gymnosperms :

The lifecycle of a gymnosperm is also characterized by the alternation of generations, just as the lifecycle of an angiosperm. In conifers, such as pines, the sporophyte is the part of the plant that is green and leafy, and the gametophytes, in both male and female, are found in the cones. Female cones are distinguishable from male cones by their bigger size and their location closer to the crown of the tree. Male cones, on the other hand, are significantly smaller and can be found closer to the base of the tree. Because the pollen is dispersed and carried by the wind, it is impossible for a gymnosperm to self-pollinate due to the configuration of the plant.

Membrane receptors are used by which types of hormones?
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

Lipid insoluble hormones/Peptide hormones

Explanation:

Hormones produce their effect by binding to speific receptor. These receptors may be intracellular or membranal.

Membrane receptors;

The lipid insoluble hormones cannot cross the plasma membrane thus their receptors are found on plasma membrane. These are usually peptide hormones.

Examples; Insulin.

Intracellular receptors;

The lipid soluble hormones can cross the plasma membrane thus their receptors are found in cytoplasm. These are usually steroidal hormones.

Example; Testosterone.

Along what types of tectonic plate boundaries <br> are volcanoes generally found? Why?
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

Divergent plate boundaries because the separating of the tectonic plates allows for the lava to push its way through the rift and escape to Earth's surface.
