Answer:

The correct answer is - inter-vertebral discs.

Explanation:

In between each vertebral body or adjacent vertebrae there is a cushion termed as intervertebral disc. Each discs forms a joint formed of fibrocartilaginous joint that known as symphysis that helps in the absorbing shocks, absorber for the spine. This prevents the friction of the two vertebrae against one another. These discs are the largest structures in the body without vascular supply.

Thus, the correct answer is - inter-vertebral discs.

Answer:

Option B, Get the results approved by government agencies

Explanation:

The findings of the student can be verified by someone who has already conducted research or studies in the same field earlier. Since a government agency would have carried out a sincere study and their findings would be more accurate as compared to any of the secondary sources, newspaper or magazine publication, it would be advisable to get the results verified by some government agency.

Also a finding attested by a government organization is more trusted than its verification from any other sources.

Hence option B is the correct choice of answer

Suppose a population is carrying a condition controlled by two alleles: P (dominant) and p (recessive). Only homozygous individu

Virty [35]

The answer is B. 72.25 percent.

The Hardy-Weinberg principle can be used:

p² + 2pq + q² = 1 and p + q = 1

where p and q are the frequencies of the alleles, and p², q² and 2pq are the frequencies of the genotypes.

The p allele (q) is found in 15% of the population:
q = 15% = 15/100
Thus, q = 0.15

To calculate the P allele frequency (p), the formula p + q = 1 can be used:
If p + q = 1, then p = 1 - q
p = 1 - 0.15
Thus, p = 0.85

Knowing the frequency of the P allele (p), it is easy to determine the frequency of the PP genotype (p²):
p² = 0.85² = 0.7225

Expressed in percentage, p² = 72.25%.
