Summary Introduction

To review:

Synarthrosis, syndesmosis, and synchondrosis and which of them is the functional classification of the joints.

Introduction:

Joint is the connection between two bones in the body that links the skeletal system into the function group. Some joints are moveable and allow the movement at different degrees whereas, some are immovable. Joints are mainly categorized into synovial, fibrous, and cartilaginous joints. The skeletal system provides mechanical support to the internal parts of the body and it also maintains the posture of the body.

Explanation of Solution

Synarthrosis joint is the type of joint that is immovable in nature. This joint gives a strong connection between adjacent bones and protects the internal structures such as the heart and the brain. A syndesmosis is a fibrous joint present between the bones and lined by the ligaments.

Synchondrosis is a cartilaginous joint and it is a immovable joint that is present between two bones. Synchondrosis joint is present in the spinal vertebrae.

The joints are classified on the basis of structures and functions. The structural classification of the joints includes synovial, fibrous, and cartilaginous joints whereas, the functional classification of the joints includes synarthroses, amphiarthroses, and diarthroses.

In a population of Jackalopes (pictured below), horn length will vary between 0.5 and 2 feet, with the mean length somewhere around 1.05 feet. You pick Jackalopes that have horn lengths around 1.75 feet to breed as this appears to be the optimal length for battling other Jackalopes for food. After a round of breeding, you measure the offsprings' mean horn length is 1.67. What is the heritability of horns length (h2)? Is Jackalope horn length a heritable trait?

There are many differences between DNA replication happening during mitosis in a Douglas fir tree growing in the Oregon Cascade Mountains and DNA replication happening during a PCR reaction in a forestry research lab at Oregon State University where the laboratory is amplifying a Simple Sequence Repeat. Complete the following table that compares the two DNA replication events in terms of the primers, the nucleotides, the polymerase, and the target sequence. Additionally, give a general value for the number of copies of the template DNA after one S phase in one cell and after the lab has completed the PCR reaction.
