Answer:

The humerus-

A long bone of the upper forelimb. It articulates proximally with the scapula to form the soulder joint and distally with the radius and ulna to form the elbow joint.

Proximally the humerus has a rounded projection known as the head.

Cranially at the lateral aspect of the head is a large prominence- the greater tubercle. The lesser tubercle lies medially. Both tubercles act as a sight for muscle attachment. At the distal end of the humerus is a condyle which articulates with the radius & ulna & forms part of the elbow.

The diaphysis of the humerus is twisted.

In the dog a supra condylar foramen is present- a large hole in the condyle.

The Femur-This is the thigh bone and is the largest bone in the body, it is a long bone and is similar in structure to the humerus in that it has a head, neck, shaft & lateral & medial condyles. The femoral head articulates with the acetabulum proximally to form the hip joint, lateral to the head is the greater trochanter and on the medialTh side is a lesser trochanter (for muscle attachment). At the distal end of the femur are 2 condyles that articulate with the tibia to form the stifle joint. Between the 2 condyles is the trochlear groove along which the patella can move.

<h3>Research variables</h3>

In every scientific investigation, there are different variables. These include:

  • Independent variables: These are the variables that are supplied by the researcher and often varied to produce different effects. It is often referred to as the 'cause' variable.
  • Dependent variables: These are variables that are measured in the course of research. They are a result of the effects of the independent variable on the experimental subjects or groups. They are otherwise known as 'effect' variables.
  • Constant variables: Variables that are applicable to all experimental groups and are usually kept constant.

Also, there are different groups in research:

  • Control group: The reference group. The group that is not fed with the independent variable and forms the basis for comparison in order to understand the effects of the independent variable.
  • The experimental group: The group that is fed with the independent variable.

Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into the natural environment that cause adverse change. Pollution can take the form of chemical substances or energy, such as noise, heat or light. Pollutants, the components of pollution, can be either foreign substances/energies or naturally occurring contaminants. Pollution is often classed as point source or nonpoint source pollution.

1. Igloos are buildings that are made of packed
Margaret [11]

The particles of the snow have kinetic energy, but being a solid, it has less kinetic energy than that of liquid water. So they move around in a place about its mean position.

Option C

<h3><u>Explanation:</u><u> </u></h3>

Igloos are the small homes made up of snow. It used to be homes for the people living in Arctic regions in past. Now some tribes still live in these igloos, or they are made by tourists for amusements.

Snow is basically precipitation of ice from clouds. Being the solid form of water, ice has molecules more compactly arranged in its crystal structure. Thus, the molecules cannot move here and there like in fluid. But having some kinetic energy, they have certain movements i.e vibrations around its mean position.
