Answer to Problem 1RAC

The correct answer is option (d) level of the foramen magnum to the second lumbar vertebra.

Explanation of Solution

Explanation/justification for the correct answer:

Option (d) level of the foramen magnum to the second lumbar vertebra. The spinal cord is a very important structure that extends from the brain at the particular level of foramen magnum down to the second lumbar vertebra. It is relatively shorter than the vertebral column due to the lack of rapid growth during the developmental stages. So, the correct answer is option (c).

Explanation for incorrect answer:

Option (a) medulla oblongata to the coccyx. The spinal cord does not extend from medulla oblongata to the coccyx. So, this is an incorrect option.

Option (b) level of the third cervical vertebra to the coccyx. The extension of the spinal cord occurs from the level of the foramen magnum to the second lumbar vertebra. So, this is an incorrect answer.

Option (c) level of the axis to the lowest lumbar vertebra. The spinal cord does not extend from the level of the axis to the lowest lumbar vertebra. So, this is an incorrect answer.

Option (e) axis to the sacral hiatus. The extension of the spinal cord does not take place from the axis to the sacral hiatus. So, this is an incorrect answer.

Conclusion

Thus, an extension of the spinal cord occurs from the level of the foramen magnum to the second lumbar vertebra. Hence, the correct answer is option (d) level of the foramen magnum to the second lumbar vertebra.

After you feel comfortable with your counting method and identifying cells in the various stages of mitosis, use the four images below of whitefish blastula to count the cells in each stage until you reach 100 total cells, recording your data below in Data Table 1. (You may not need to use all four images. Stop counting when you reach 100 total cells.) After totaling the cells in each stage, calculate the percent of cells in each stage. (Divide total of stage by overall total of 100 and then multiply by 100 to obtain percentage.)   Data Table 1Stage    Totals    PercentInterphase        Mitosis:        Prophase        Metaphase        Anaphase        Telophase        Cytokinesis        Totals    100    100% To find the length of time whitefish blastula cells spend in each stage, multiply the percent (recorded as a decimal, in other words take the percent number and divide by 100) by 24 hours. (Example: If percent is 20%, then Time in Hours = .2 * 24 = 4.8) Record your data in Data…
