Introduction:
A skeletal system comprises bones, ligament, and cartilage that help an individual in movement and locomotion. Muscles are attached to the skeletal system, which helps in generating the movement. Skeletal system also protects the soft organs of the body.

Answer to Problem 1SQ
Correct answer:
A hydrostatic skeletal system consist of a fluid-filled chamber or chambers. Hence, the correct answer is option a.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for correct answer:
Option a. is given as “chamber or chambers.”
Hydrostatic skeletal system is present in soft-bodied invertebrates such as worms and sea anemones. A hydrostatic skeletal is made up of fluid-filled internal chambers. For example, the coelom of an earthworm is divided into many fluid-filled chambers. These chambers help in movement of invertebrates.
Reason for incorrect answer:
Option b. is given as, “hardened plates at the surface of a body.”
An exoskeleton is made up of hard plates at the external part of the body. The exoskeleton is present in arthropods. The hard external shell receives the force of muscle contraction and protects the soft body tissue of the arthropods. Hence, option b. is incorrect.
Option c. is given as, “internal hard plates.”
An endoskeleton consists of internal hard plates. Endoskeleton is present in echinoderms. For example, the endoskeleton of sea stars consists of hardened calcium-rich plates. Hence, option b. is incorrect.
Option d. is given as, “none of the above.”
A hydrostatic skeletal is made up of fluid-filled internal chambers. Hence, option d. is incorrect.
Hence, the options b., c., and d. are incorrect.
A hydrostatic chamber is made up of a fluid-filled chamber. Hydrostatic skeletal is present in earthworms. Thus, the correct option is a.

- 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…arrow_forwardAlleles at the P locus control seed color.
