Describe the four structural roles of the skeletal system. The Human SKELETAL SYSTEM

Biology

Answer:

1. Support

2. Protection

3. Movement

4. Supply & Storage

Explanation:

1. Support :  It provides a framework to support the organs and tissues of the body.  

2. Protection:  It protects our internal organs.  The skull protects the brain; the thorax (sternum, ribs and spine) protects the heart, lungs and other viscera (organs within the thorax).

3. Movement:  It provides a framework for muscles to attach.  Then when the muscles contract they pull on the bones of the skeleton, which act like levers to create movement.

4. Supply & Storage:  The bones that make up the skeleton are a source of both red blood cells (which transport oxygen) and white blood cells (which fight infection), which are formed within the bone marrow.

Answer:

The skeletal system works as a support structure for your body. It gives the body its shape, allows movement, makes blood cells, provides protection for organs and stores minerals.

At times in the past, red hair in humans was thought to be a recessive trait, and at other times it was thought to be a dominant
Misha Larkins [42]

A) If red hair were a recessive trait, it could be inherited in two ways: 1) from heterozygous parents who both carry the red hair allele (the chances of having a child with red hair would be 25%), or 2) from red haired parents who are both homozygous (100% chances of red haired offspring).

B) If red hair were a dominant trait, it could be inherited only if at least one of the parents had red hair. There's 3 variables: 1) If both parents were heterozygous, they would have a 75% chances of having red haired children; 2) if one parent were heterozygous and the other were homozygous dominant, all of their offspring would have red hair; and 3) all children would be red haired if both parent were homozygous, one dominant and the other recessive.

This exercise is an example of Mendelian inheritance which states that the genes inherited from parents are separated into gametes in equal frequency. Each parent "donate" an allele to their offspring; this allele could be physically expressed or not depending on it being dominant or recessive (this means: silent) and if the parents being homozygous or heterozygous. Heterozygous individuals have two different alleles (one dominant and one recessive), while homozygous can have either 2 dominant alleles or 2 recessive ones.

The Venn diagram compares and contrasts meiosis and mitosis. If you were to add to the Venn diagram, which description would not
Rasek [7]

Answer:

<em>C) diploid daughter cells</em>

Explanation:

Meiosis can be described as a process of cell division in which the chromosome number is reduced to half of that of the parents. Four daughter cells are produced as a result of meiosis and these cells are haploid. Hence, option C, diploid daughter cells will not apply to meiosis.

Mitosis can be described as a process of cell division in which two new daughter cells are produced which are identical to the parent cells. The daughter cells are diploid. Hence, this description would be applied to mitosis.
