<u>Answer</u>:

1.a) Species. It is the lowest taxon and represents the scientific name of the organism.

b) The species name is part of the binomial system of nomenclature developed by Linnaeus.

Thus it is composed of two parts each with its own writing rules (ex. gray wolf - <em>Canis lupus</em>):

A. the genus or generic name

- written first

- always underlined or italicized

- the first letter is always capitalized

ex. <em>Canis</em>

B. the specific epithet or species name

- is written second

- always underlined or italicized

- never capitalized

ex. <em>lupus</em>

<em />

2. The results should always be the same. A dichotomous key is an identification tool based on a series of choices between alternative characters (dichotomous = divided into two parts). Thus, there is no room for subjective observation that may lead to another result. If the morphological traits of the organism are correctly identified, the the result should always be the same. Any differences occur due to errors on the scientist's part.

3. Describe at least three types of medical interventions that can be used to treat and repair broken bones. Explain the theory
hjlf

Answer:

1. Casting

2. Open reduction and internal fixation

3. Open reduction and external fixation

Explanation:

Casting is the process of making use of plaster-of- Paris to cure a fracture.

Open reduction, and internal fixation can be described as a situation whereby surgery is used to repair the fracture-frequently, and involves the use of metal rods, screws or plates to repair the bone. These things remain in place, under the skin, after the surgery. This procedure is adopted when the complicated fractures are not able to be realigned (reduced) by casting.

Open reduction, and external fixation is known to involve surgery to repair the fracture, and placement of a external fixation device on the limb with the fracture. This device is an external frame which supports the bone and hold it in the correct position while it is healing.

The _____ is the main means for transmitting messages between the brain and the body.
kiruha [24]

The correct answer is d. spinal cord.

Spinal cord is a bundle of neurons which starts from the brain and runs down the entire length of the back of the body. The spinal cord acts as a main means to transmit the messages between the brain and the body.

Sensory or efferent neurons carry the information from the perimeter of the body and pass to the central nervous system whereas the motor or efferent neurons act as a communication channel and carry the information from the nervous system to various glands and muscles.
