Answer:
menisci
Explanation:
Some synovial joints such as that of knees have crescent-shaped pads. These pads are made up of fibrocartilage and are present between the articular surfaces of the bones. These cartilaginous pads are attached to the fibrous capsule and are called articular discs or menisci.
The function of the menisci is to serve in shock absorption and minimize the wear and tear of the joint. Meniscus also allows the articulating bony surfaces to fit properly and facilitate an adaptable surface for combined movements. Meniscus serves to distribute the weight over a greater contact surface and thereby makes the joint stable. It also spreads the synovial lubricant across the articular surfaces of the joint.

Clotting blood to stop excessive bleeding.
Contractions during childbirth is a positive feedback.
Answer:
A. Mendel observed green and yellow pea pods in a 3:1 ratio because the F1 generation was heterozygous.
Explanation:
The two true breeding plants in the parental population were homozygous (that is what true breeding means). Therefore, their cross would lead to all heterozygous offspring (see attached punnet square). Green is the dominant characteristic, so all F1 plants had a green phenotype, but Gg genotype.
The F1 cross would therefore be Gg x Gg. See attached punnet square.
The genotypes in the F2 generation are 1 GG: 2 Gg: 1 gg 1
Therefore, the phenotypic ratio is 3 green pea pods (Gg or GG): 1 yellow (gg)
Answer:
1. It is now illegal to import or purchase Burmese pythons in Florida. Probably, at some point, python owners who no longer wanted to care for them let them go in the Everglades. By the mid-1990s, the pythons had established a breeding population.
2. There have been no human deaths from wild-living Burmese pythons in Florida. Overall, the risk of attack is very low. ... The simplest and most sure-fire way to reduce the risk of human fatalities is to avoid interacting with a large constrictor.
Explanation:
Burmese pythons are not poisonous snakes, however they are constrictors, coiling around their prey and squeezing the life out of it. The officials in the state of Florida are extremely concerned about the invasion of these large snakes and their ability to take over most of the Everglades.
look at the photo, it wouldn't let me type it, sorry :-/
