The range of motion as well as the direction of motion for the various regions of the spine differs. For example the lumbar spin

e is capable of flexion and extension but little rotational movement. While the thoracic spine rotates with little flexion or extension. This is due to variation in ________.
A. the thickness of the intervertebral disc
B. the arrangement of muscular attachment to the spinous processes
C. the composition of the intervertebral disks
D. the orientation of the superior and inferior articular facets

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-D

Explanation:

A Facet joint is a synovial joint present between the inferior articular process of one vertebra to the superior articular process of another vertebra.

The facet joints form articular pillars which provide the structural stability and can have different orientation depending on the plane or angle they form.

1. When the articulating facets lie parallel to the frontal plane and form 45° angle to the transverse plane then it allows all the movements in the cervical spine.

2.  When the articulating facets 20° to the frontal plane and 60° to the transverse plane then it allows the lateral flexion and rotation in the thoracic spine region.

3. When the articulating facets form 45° to the frontal plane and they are at right angles to the transverse plane then it allows only flexion and extension in the lumbar region.

Thus, option-D is the correct answer.

3. What is crossing over? When does it occur during meiosis? Why did you have difficulty modeling this element of meiosis using
FrozenT [24]
Crossing over happens in Meiosis 1 only. In Prophase 1 a cells chromatin (chromatin = chromosomes that have not condensed yet) condense and pair up forming homologous chromosomes (paired = XX (2 chromosomes together)). When this happens segments/ alleles of the chromosomes pairing up swap over. This creates genetic diversity as each chromosome is different, it has parts from its pair. This leaves every chromosome unique and individual.

I hope this helps, sorry some of the vocab is rather technical. By the way I would suggest watching the 'Crash Course: Meiosis' on YouTube, this really helped me when I was learning this topic. :D

What is the speed of a wave with a wavelength of 3 m and a frequency of .1 Hz? 0.03 m/s 0.3 m/s 3.1 m/s 30 m/s
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is option b, 0.3m/s

Step by Step solution:

The relation between speed, wavelength and frequency of a wave is given by the following equation:  

Speed = Wavelength x Frequency

Substituting the values in above equation we get –  

= 3  x 0.1  

= 0.3 m/s

Answer: I would say A

Explanation: The daughter cell is part of a haploid cell, and for the fertilization process the daughter cell cannot productively function independently, It isn't connected to the parent cell, or at least not for long if i'm incorrect,  and every cell contains DNA.

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

a lack of resources would most likely decrease a population size because it will limit growth and decrease survival rates. There will also be more competition.

Explanation:

Please don't plagiarize. Thanks :)
