Answer:

Inversion.

Explanation:

Chromosomal mutation may be defined as the mutation that change the structure of the chromosome and may alter its number. Different types of chromosomal aberration are deletion, duplication, inversion and translocation.

The chromosomal inversion is the chromosomal rearrangement or the chromosome segment may get  reversed. The fragment chromosome gets break off and then the segment gets join to the original chromosome but in the reverse condition.

Thus, the answer is inversion.

When the term biceps, triceps, or quadriceps forms part of a muscle's name, what does it tell you about the muscle? the muscle h
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

The muscle has two, three, or four origins, respectively.

Explanation

  • A muscle is an organ composed of muscle tissue that contract to facilitate a particular movement
  • biceps,triceps and quadriceps  are types of skeletal muscles since they use bones as levers
  • <em><u>They differ in that; the biceps have two origins, triceps have three origins and quadriceps have four origin.</u></em>
  • <em><u>Bicep is a two headed muscle thus said to have two origins ,triceps have three muscle heads and therefore have three separate origin attachment point while quadriceps are made of four muscles heads hence have four origins. </u></em>

The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster is an important model system for studying inheritance in animals and genetic control of an
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

The correct answer is "strengths: inexpensive, easy to culture, short life cycle, large number of offspring; weaknesses: invertebrate model, some diseases such as immunological cannot be modelled, anatomical features are very different from humans"

Explanation:

The fruit fly <em>Drosophila melanogaster</em> is one of the most used animal model for genetic and biomedical studies. There are many advantages of using Drosophila as model, including that it is very inexpensive to handle, it is easy to culture, it has a short life cycle allowing to observe the changes in phenotype very quickly and its large number of offspring allows to include several repetitions per trait in a study. However, there are some weaknesses of using Drosophila to study human biology. First, obviously the fruit fly is very different from humans, it is an invertebrate and its anatomical features are very different, which makes impossible to model some disorders such as immunological diseases.

Which of the following is NOT one of the functions of skeletal muscle? Which of the following is NOT one of the functions of ske
Rasek [7]

Answer:

regulation of the diameter of blood vessels and control of blood pressure

Explanation:

Skeletal muscles are the multinucleated muscles with striations and are attached to the bones (skeleton). The main function of skeletal muscles is to generate the voluntary movement of the body or body parts. The skeletal muscles of face, rectum, and urinary bladder generate their voluntary movement as per the will of the organism. On the other hand, blood vessels are lined with smooth muscles with spindle-shaped cells.

For example, the muscles present in the subcutaneous layer of the skin of the face are responsible for various facial expressions. Contraction of these facial muscles brings about the movement of skin of the face to generate a wide variety of emotions. Smooth muscles of blood vessels are involuntary in nature.

Vasodilation and vasoconstriction as brought about by smooth muscles of blood vessels are regulated by the autonomic nervous system. Under the conditions of lower blood pressure, contraction of smooth muscles of blood vessels restore the reduced blood pressure. On the other hand, when the blood pressure rises above the normal range, the smooth muscles of blood vessels relax to dilate them and to lower down the blood pressure.
