Summary Introduction

To review:

Match the term rhomboid muscles with the most closely related description given below:

abducts the toes

flexes hip and/or lumbar spine

adduct (retract) scapula

connective tissue bands

plantar flexion at ankle

originates on ilium

flexes elbow

dorsiflexes ankle and inverts foot

lateral rotation of humerus at shoulder

supinates forearm

extends, adducts, medially rotates humerus at shoulder

Introduction:

The levator and rhomboid muscles attach to the posterior surfaces of the thoracic and cervical vertebrae. These muscles insert across the scapula’s vertebral border, between the inferior and superior angles.

Explanation of Solution

In general, rhomboid muscles are called rhomboids. These muscles are rhombus-shaped. Contracting the rhomboid retracts or adducts the scapula, thus pulling it toward the back’s center. It also rotates the scapula in the downward direction.

Conclusion

Therefore, it can be concluded that the term rhomboid muscles can be correctly matched with option (c) adduct (retract) scapula.

Linkage in common bean Alleles at the P locus control seed color. Plants which are pp have white seeds, white flowers and no pigment in vegetative parts. Plants which are P_ have black seeds, purple flowers and may have varying degrees of pigment on stems and leaves. Seed color can be assessed, visually, based on if the seed is white or not white A gene for mold resistance has been reported and we want to determine its inheritance and whether it is linked to P. For the purposes of this exercise, we will assume that resistance is controlled by a single locus M, and M_ plants are resistant and mm plants are susceptible.  Resistance can be measured, under greenhouse conditions, 2 weeks after planting, by injecting each seedling with a spore suspension. After two weeks, the seedlings can be rated as resistant or susceptible, based on whether or not tissue is actively sporulating. For this exercise we will use seed and data from the F10 generation of a recombinant inbred population…
