Answer:

A) Golgi tendon organ.

Explanation:

A tendon organ or neurotendinous organ or Golgi tendon organ is a mechanoreceptor located at the insertion point of the skeletal muscle to the tendon that is at the myotendinous junction.

The Golgi tendon organ is composed of the collagenous muscle fibres which contain the receptors which sense the contraction of active stretch of the muscles and sends it to the brain. The brain sends the response and the muscle act by the inverse myotatic reflex.

Thus, Option-A is the correct answer.

Answer: Golgi tendon organ.

Explanation:

The Golgi tendon organ also known as the tendon organ is the proprioceptive sensory receptor organ which an detect the change in the muscle tension.

It is found at the origins and at the insertions of the skeletal muscle fibers into the tendons situated in the skeletal muscles.

This responds to the tension by reducing the muscle activation.

2.

B. It is an ancient supercontinent

Explanation:

The above answers are correct.

The convergent plate boundary is known to be an area on Earth where subduction occurs. It is a place where two or more lithospheric plates collide. This convergent plate boundary is characterized by deep ocean trenches,  island arcs, mountain ranges, faults and volcanoes.

Pangaea is known to be a supercontinent that actually incorporated almost all the earth's landmasses and it is said to have existed during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras. It is revealed that over 150 million years the supercontinent began to break apart.

The chromosomal mutation in the zygote can be traced back to which of the following? (4.3, 4.4)Immersive Reader
lawyer [7]

The chromosomal mutation in the zygote can be traced back to "Chromosome 6 in the egg cell".

<u>Option: B</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

In germ cells i.e. egg or sperm cells, the mutations in chromosome often happen during the meiosis phase. The number of chromosomes in egg cells or sperm cells must be haploid, so that diploid chromosomes form zygote on fertilization. Chromosome mutation in meiosis leads in an additional set of chromosomes or structural defects in the chromosome.

Chromosomal mutations are often caused by chemical agents or by mutagens. The homologous chromosomes are segregated from sister chromatids throughout cell division, any abnormality at this point allows the chromosomes to be unequally divided or not disjuncted, same is observed in the situation seen in egg cell chromosome 6.

After many decades of being absent from yellowstone national park, gray wolves are being reintroduced. As the wolf populations h
kiruha [24]

Given what we know about the relationships present in this ecosystem, we can confirm that the reintroduction of grey wolves, while causing the population of elk to decrease, will also permit the population of aspen trees and similar plants to increase.

<h3>Why would Aspen trees increase in population?</h3>

The Elk is one of the primary consumers of the aspen tree.

When wolves were removed from the park, their absence caused a sharp increase in the elk population.

This increase in turn caused the elks to consume much more aspen trees and reduce their availability greatly.

The reintroduction of wolves will control the elk population and allow the aspen trees to regrow.

Therefore, given the predator and prey relationships present in the park, we can confirm that with the reintroduction of wolves to the park, we can expect the reduction in elk to allow for an increase in aspen tree populations.
