Answer;

-Genetic heterogeneity and epistasis.

Explanation;

-Marfan syndrome is a genetic disorder that affects the body's connective tissue that holds all the body's cells, organs and tissue together.

-Genetic heterogeneity is defined as mutations at two or more genetic loci that produce the same or similar phenotypes. Genetic heterogeneity may be either; allelic heterogeneity, which occurs when a similar phenotype is produced by different alleles within the same gene; or locus heterogeneity, which occurs when a similar phenotype is produced by mutations at different loci.

-A gene is said to be epistatic when its presence suppresses the effect of a gene at another locus. Epistatic genes are sometimes called inhibiting genes because of their effect on other genes which are described as hypostatic.

-From these descriptions the marfan syndrome demonstrates both genetic heterogeneity and epistasis.

The last two pairs of ribs that have no cartilaginous attachments to the sternum are sometimes called _________ ribs.
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

Floating ribs

Explanation:

The thoracic cavity has 12 pairs of ribs evenly distributed on the left and the right sides of the cavity that function to provide surface area for muscle attachment such as the intercoatal muscles that assist in breathing. The ribs are flat shaped bones semi circular in shape attaching to the thoracic vertabrae with a wider. The first to the tenth ribs are linked to the sternum by a cartilage to assist in their epansion and relaxation during breathing. The 11th and 12th ribs have no cartilage that can attach them to the sternum and hence are called floating ribs.

ELEN [110]

Answer:

They became closer to each other.

Explanation:

When skeletal muscles contracts the Z lines that are at the end of every sarcomere became closer to each other due to the fact that the I bands that are attached to the Z lines and contains the myosin filaments move closer to each other interacting with the actin filaments and shorten the the H zone that is in the middle of the sarcomere. In other words, It all becomes compact during a contraction.
