Answer: The pathology described in the question is "testicular torsion".

The most sensitive physical exam that is specific to this pathology is testing for reflexes. The inner thigh of the affected side when rubbed should cause the testicle to contract; but in this pathology, it does not.

Explanation:

Testicular torsion is a condition caused by the twisting of the spermatic cord, which causes a loss of blood flow to the testicle. It is the leading cause of testicular loss in adolescent boys, if no surgical intervenvention is carried out as soon as possible.

1) Interphase is the longest phase and most of the cells are present in that very stage !!


2) Interphase is the longest phase and Anaphase is the shortest phase !! Interphase is the longest phase as in this phase the cells prepare themselves for dividing and it takes most of the time for gathering energy for division ; in this phase DNA also replicate !!


3)
Interphase: DNA replicates;

Prophase: Nuclear membrane starts disappearing and Centrioles go on opposite poles !! DNA condense to form Chromosome.

Metaphase: Chromosome attach to spindle fibre and starts to move to equitorial plate.

Anaphase: Centromere divide and half the chromatid goes on either pole

Telophase: Nuclear membrane starts to reassemble; Chrmosome goes to normal uncoiled state ; Other organelles starts appearing

Cytokinesis: Cell furrow forms and cell divides into two half.


4) In dividing cell nucleus membrane is absent while in non dividing cell the membrane is intact


5) Tip of the onion root is meristamatic cell which divides but if it is permanent cell ; there would be no division !!

Choose a plant or animal that you think is interesting. describe some of the threats or challenges
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

If I were to choose a plant or animal which is interesting, I'd choose the "cactus."

Explanation:

A "cactus" is truly a splendid plant owing to its <em>ability to survive in the desert </em>or<em> periods of drought.</em> Growing them is also not that challenging or difficult. However, this plant is prone to certain threats that may lead to its extinction.

  • One of these threats is the <em>"over-collection of cacti." </em>Due to its versatile use, the cactus is often sold as an ornamental plant.
  • Another threat is the number of pests, such as <u>snails</u> and<u> slugs</u>, that attacks it yearly. It is a delicious food for<em> mealy bugs, red spider mites, gnats, flies, etc.</em>
  • People often misunderstand the <u>cactus' water level need</u>s. Some people over-water the plant and this often results to the bacteria, virus and fungi being attracted to it.

Alicia is being tickled by her older sister. which divisions of the nervous system are receiving the signals from her sister’s f
Finger [1]

In this case, when Alicia is being tickled  by her older sister, the divisions of the nervous system which are responsible for receiving the signals from her sister’s fingers are called somatosensory cortex and anterior cingulated cortex nervous system. 

When you are touched lightly, the effect of having that ticklish sensation is caused by the analysis of two regions of the brain. For example, when our brain analyses the pressure of the touch, this is the work of the somatosensory cortex. On the other hand, as soon as something touches your skin, the signal sent from the skin's sensory receptors also passes through the anterior cingulated cortex.<span>This is where the pleasant feelings are governed. </span>
