Answer:

aid in maintaining proper posture.

Explanation:

Stretch reflexes are the monosynaptic reflexes. These reflexes are produced by tapping on tendons attached to muscles at the elbow, wrist, knee, and ankle joints. One of the functions of the stretch reflex is to help maintain posture. For example, when a standing person begins to lean forward, stretching of calf muscles initiate the stretch reflexes. These reflexes cause the calf muscles to contract to restore the body’s upright posture. Similarly, stretch reflexes also occur in the muscles of the shin when a standing person begins to lean backward.

A cell has 36 chromosomes. After it divides by mitosis, how many chromosomes will be in each cell?

butalik [34]

Answer:

36 chromosomes in each cell

Explanation:

Mitosis is an equational division which means that it does not reduce or change the number of chromosomes in the daughter cells. Mitosis in a single parent cell produces two daughter cells each having the same DNA content and the number of chromosomes is present in the parent cell. Each chromosome after the S phase has two sister chromatids that separate from each other and are segregated to the opposite poles of the cell during anaphase of mitosis. Therefore, a cell with 36 chromosomes will form two daughter cells after one round of mitosis. Each daughter cell would have 36 chromosomes.
