Answer:

The false statement is C. The hamstrings are prime movers of hip (thigh) flexion and knee (leg) flexion.

Explanation:

The hamstrings are also called ischiosural or simply, femoral. They are the powerful and voluminous musculature that is located in the back of the thigh and that performs its action mainly on the knee, flexing it and also rotating it.

The hamstrings are made up of three muscles: the biceps femoris, semitendinosus and semimembranous. In addition, the tendons are located at the back of the thigh and cross the hip and knee joints. As the hamstrings cross two joints, they have two actions, including knee flexion and hip extension, as well as hyperextension.

Shell color in clams is thought to be controlled by three different genes (each with two alleles). Shell coloration runs a range

sergejj [24]

The correct answer is A. Quantitative traits

Explanation:

In genetics, quantitative traits refer to traits or phenotypes (observable traits) that depend on many factors including multiple genes and actions in the environment. These traits differ from other traits because the traits tend to be more diverse in a population. In the case presented, the shell color in clams is an example of a quantitative trait because this phenotype is the result of three different each and each gene contains two alleles which means the color depends on many factors. Additionally, as most quantitative traits there is a higher variation in the phenotype considering clams can have different hues.

Pectinate muscles extend from the atrial internal wall into the pouch-like structures that increase the total filling capacity o

alukav5142 [94]

Pectinate muscles are parallel ridges in the walls of the atria of the heart. The name is due to their resemblance to the teeth of a comb (pecten). The heart is the organ pumps blood to all parts of the body. It is made up of four chambers, that is, right and left ventricles, left and right atria, and the blood vessels, Pulmonary artery, pulmonary vein, aorta, and venacava. An auricles are pouch like structure that increase the total filling capacity of the atrium and also increase the volume of blood that an atrium is able to contain.

An animal trainer is conditioning an elephant to startle at the sound of a trombone. Every time she plays the trombone, she then

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D, that is, the elephant will not react.

Explanation:

A kind of behavior that comprises a stimulus-response, which is distinct from the natural one is termed as conditioning. It is a kind of learned behavior. It is a kind of learning where the efficacy of stimulus enhances while provoking a response. When the presentation of two stimuli is done at a suitable time and with appropriate intensity, then one of them will be able to provoke a response that resembles the other one.

In the given case, the mouse and the trombone are termed as unconditioned and conditioned stimuli. When a conditioned stimulus is demonstrated in a context of classical conditioning, it will result in the non-predication of the coming unconditioned stimulus. The conditioned response will get to cease slowly and will eliminate the conditioned fear. Thus, in the given case, the elephant will fail to react towards the trombone subsequently.
