Answer:

Gomphosis

Explanation:

Fibrous Joints:

Fibrous joints are immovable or fixed joints because they have the characteristic that they do not move. These joints have collagen which is a white connective tissue and it help in connection with other tissues.

Fibrous joints are mainly three types called sutures, gomphosis and syndesmosis.

Suture:

Suture is one of the fibrous tissue which only present in skull called cranal suture. There is tiny amount of movement present it sutures for elasticity of skull.

Gomphosis:

Gomphosis is found in the tooth which bind tooth with tooth socket bone by periodontal ligament. This joint is completely immovable.

*Peridontal ligament is the fibrous tissue which is present between tooth and tooth socket.

Syndesmosis:

Syndesmosis is found between tibia and fibula joint which is joined or connected by connective tissue (ligament). This fibrous joint is slightly moveable.

Determine the median value for foot width for males and for females. Describe in complete sentences the method you used to deter

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

This question is incomplete because of the absence of the data referred to in the question

Explanation:

This question is incomplete but the data referred to in the question is attached below

In order to determine the median value of any set of data, the data is first of all rearranged chronologically (ascending) and then the middle value is picked if the number of data is odd but if the number of data is even, the two middle values are added together and then divided by two to get the median.

From the data provided, the values (which are 10 in number) can be arranged as shown below (with the median values in bold)

Females: 5, 7, 7, 7.5, 7.5, 7.8, 7.8, 8, 8, 17

Males: 4.5, 7.5, 9, 9, 9.2, 9.3, 10, 10, 10.5, 13

Since the number of data is even, the two middle numbers (in bold) shall be added together and then divided to get the median as shown below

The median value for the females foot width is = 7.5 + 7.8/2 = 7.65 cm

The median value for the male foot width is = 9.2 + 9.3/2 = 9.25 cm

Jill is heterozygous for gene A and is going to have a child with Jack, who is homozygous recessive for gene A. Which of the fol

Igoryamba

Answer:

D. Aa

Explanation:

Given:

Jill (mother) is heterozygous for gene A --------- i.e Jill = Aa

Jack (father) who is homozygous recessive for gene A-------- i.e Jack = aa

Now if both cross and fertilization occurs, we have:

A a

a Aa aa

The offsprings are (Aa, Aa, aa, aa)

Nondsijunction is the inability of homologous chromosomes to seperate properly during cell division. Now, we were told that this fertilization undergone nondisjunction in meiosis 1. Hence, both homologous chromosome move into the same daughter cells instead of different daughter cells because separation of homologous chromosome does not occur properly.

Therefore the result of these fertilization of a normal haploid sperm with an egg that had undergone nondisjunction in meiosis yields offspring with genotype Aa of their Mother (Jill).
