<h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct answer is option C which is inbreeding.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • The genetic disease is due to the homozygous recessive alleles in genotype.
  • This happens due to the inbreeding which is the process of breeding of interrelated or closely related species.
  • Due to which the some alleles reappear in generations, with chances of one genotype is increased.
  • In this situation, the genotype of two recessive alleles appear due to inbreeding.

The answer is C. inbreeding

İnbreeding results in homozygosity, which can increase the risk of the koalas being affected by the genetic disorder.

The VPL thalamic nucleus sends information to S1 in our body's touch pathway.
Alborosie

Answer: True

Explanation:

The VPL stands for the ventral posterolateral nucleus, the thalamic nucleus received the information from lemniscus and it displayed its sensory information into the primary cortex in the brain. In the pathway the trigeminal lemniscus conveyed the vibration and the sense of the touch in the nucleus of thalamic where, it send the data or information in the body.

Increased force output of the synergists for hip extension to compensate for the weakened gluteus maximus is an example of which
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

b. Synergistic dominance

Explanation:

The stabilizing muscles will always be <u>synergistic</u>, since only from the synergies (hence the term synergist) that arise from joint work is efficient and controlled movement possible. However, not all synergists will be stabilizers. Stabilizer will be one that, thanks to the geometric arrangement of its fibers, will have the ability to maintain alignment in the joint and stable the axis of rotation.

In the case of knee extension, we would have as stabilizers all the antagonists who, because the flexion axis is virtual and not physical, must maintain the stability of said axis. If the axle were physical, such as the wheel in a horse carriage, or on a skateboard through the bearings, the antagonistic muscles would not be necessary for this purpose, because the fixed axis would maintain the position. Since the joints of living beings do not have a fixed physical axis, it is the muscles themselves, specifically the antagonists, who must be responsible for maintaining the stability of the joint creating a virtual axis on which rotation occurs.

victus00 [196]
<span>The difference that you are searching for is the addition of Appendages. They appeared in Cambrian animals and were used to increase their physical capabilities like when sensing and processing the information found in the environment. Common appenadges found in animals are things like antennae found in insects that are used to help them communicate or notice things or similar things.</span>
