Match the term superior vena cava with the most closely related descriptions given below: Vein to the left atrium Covers outer surface of the heart Supplies blood to heart muscle Lines inner surface of fibrous pericardium Slow heart rate Functional syncytium Muscular wall of the heart Relaxation phase of the cardiac cycle Vein to the right atrium Contraction phase of the cardiac cycle Introduction: The SVC (superior vena cava) is considered superior among the two venae cavae. It is found located in the anterior potion of the right superior mediastinum. It is majorly formed by the right as well as the left brachiocephalic veins. It carries deoxygenated blood from the upper body parts to the heart. It is a vein, which receives deoxygenated blood from the brachiocephalic veins (left and right).

Humans consider themselves amazingly clever and innovative, constantly developing "new" ways of altering the world around us. As material consumption has increased, many have turned to the ideas of recycling and reuse as a means to minimize some negative aspects of our modern consumerism. Mother Nature though is the ultimate innovator and, more importantly, the ultimate recycler.

H gene assorts independently from the I gene. Both on autosomes. One man and one woman, both of HhIAIB genotype. Determine the blood type of progeny and fractions out of 16

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 produced using single seed…
