What type of vertebrae have openings in their transverse processes that guide the vertebral arteries up toward the brain?

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Cervical vertebrae

Explanation:

The cervical vertebrae are the vertebrae present in the neck region. All cervical vertebrae are characterized by the presence of three foramina. One is the vertebral foramen and the rest two are called transverse foramina. Each transverse process of each cervical vertebrae contains a transverse foramen. The vertebral artery and the related vein and nerve fibers pass through the transverse foramina. Among the all cervical vertebrae, the transverse processes and transverse foramina of the atlas are relatively larger.

An energy-transferring compound in cells is a nucleotide known as

8090 [49]

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a complex molecule which provides energy to the cells. This molecule is present in all the living organisms. The chemical energy which is obtained by the body by the breakdown of the food is captured by the ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) molecules. This captured chemical energy is then transferred by it in order to fuel different body processes.

Hence, the answer is ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate).

If a plant has the TtSs genotype, what would the genotypes of its gametes be? Tt, Ss, TS, and ts TT, tt, SS, and ss TS, Ts, tS,

ella [17]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct option is last one, C, which is TS, Ts, tS, and ts.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The genotype of plant is TtSs.
There are two types of genes for one or two traits: T related trait and S related trait.
T and S are dominant alleles while t and s are recessive alleles.
Now the gamete contain one allele from one gene and other allele from other gene.

So the possible alleles are:
