Biology

Uranus is called the sideways planet because it rotates a different way than any of the other planets in the solar system. Uranus rotates on its side, perpendicular to the north-south orientation of Earth and other planets. For this reason, Uranus is sometimes called the sideways planet.

Uranus is an oddball in that axis of spin is tilted by a whopping 98 degrees, meaning it essentially spins on this side.

In a monohybrid cross, if the gene for tall (T) plants was incompletely dominant over the gene for short (t) plants, what would
shepuryov [24]
Incomplete dominance is when the dominant allele is not fully dominant over the recessive allele. This results in three phenotype options rather than three. in this case T= tall, t= short and the two combined would be an intermediate height. A punnet square can help you figure this out.
         T     t
T      TT    Tt
t       Tt      tt

In this case you have one genotype that is two tall (TT) alleles. This will present as a tall plant.
The second genotype present is two  short alleles (tt). You have one of these that will result in a short plant.
The third genotype present is one of each (Tt). This will result in an intermediate height plant. This shows up twice in the punnet square.
Based on this you will have 25% tall, 25% short and 50% intermediate.

Which structure is NOT matched with its function? Which structure is NOT matched with its function?
maw [93]

Answer:

a. ciliary body: focus the pupil

Explanation:

The choroid thickens behind the iris and forms the circular ciliary body. Ciliary muscles are present in the ciliary body. The lens is attached to the ciliary body by ligaments. The function of the ciliary body is to holds lens in place and to serve in accommodation.

When focusing on a distant object, the relaxed ciliary muscles make the lens is flat and the suspensory ligament is taut. When focusing on a near object, the contraction of the ciliary muscles of the ciliary body allows the lens to accommodate. The lens becomes rounded causing the suspensory ligament to relax. Thereby, the ciliary body regulates the shape of the lens for near and far vision.
