Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Joints are defined as the strong connections that join bones, teeth and cartilage of the body to one another. Each joint which is present in different parts of body is specialized in its shape and structural components to control the range of  motion.

Answer to Problem 1DYB

Correct answer:

The greatest range of mobility of any joint in a body is found in glenohumeral joint. Therefore, option c. is correct.

Explanation of Solution

Reason for the correct statement:

Option c. is given as “glenohumeral joint”. The shoulder joint is also called glenohumeral joint. It is a type of ball-and-socket joint which is formed by the articulation between head of humerus and glenoid cavity of the scapula. It supports the extent range of motion in any joint of body but is unstable due to frequent dislocation.

Hence, option c. is correct.

Reasons for the incorrect statements:

Option a. is given as “knee joint”. It is the largest and most complex joint of body. It is capable of providing lateral gliding and slight rotation. Hence, option a. is incorrect

Option b. is given as “hip joint”. It is a type of joint formed between the head of the femur and concave acetabulum of the os coxae. It is less mobile and more stable as it supports the body weight. Hence, option b. is incorrect.

Option d. is given as “elbow joint”. Elbow joint is a hinge joint which facilitates the movement of hands. Hence, option d. is incorrect.

Hence, options a., b., and d. are incorrect.

Conclusion

The glenohumeral joint is shoulder joint which is most flexible and unstable joint of body.

Question #3: In the KeyGene paper, the authors state that it would be useful if pollen from an apomict would transmit apomixis-inducing genes to the female in the cross (assuming the pollen is viable). Assuming there was just one gene conferring gametophytic obligate apomixis, and that the two parents are inbreds, what would be the consequences of such a cross if: a) The apomixis was a dominant trait? Indicate the genotypes and phenotypes (apomict or non- apomict) of the parents, F1 and F2 generations. Remember to include the expected genotypic and phenotypic ratios (or percentages) in the F1 and F2 generations, and to position the female first (left side) in the parental cross. b) The apomixis was a recessive trait? Indicate the genotypes and phenotypes (apomict or non- apomict) of the parents, F1 and F2 generations. Remember to include the expected genotypic and phenotypic ratios (or percentages) in the F1 and F2 generations, and to position the female first (left side) in the…
Question #5: Assume that two genes are identified that confer gametophytic facultative apomixis in soybean. The genes show independent assortment. Recessive alleles at both loci are required for the facultative apomixis. Facultative apomixis is triggered when the temperature at pollination is above 20 degrees C. At temperatures below 20 degrees C, all reproduction is sexual, independent of genotype. A facultative apomict male, capable of producing viable pollen, was crossed with a sexually reproducing female. Assuming the parents are completely inbred, what are the predicted phenotypic ratios (apomict: non-apomict) for the F1, F2, and DH (F1-derived) generations at each of the following temperatures*: a) 15°C? b) 25°C? *for full credit, show crosses and genotypes where appropriate. Remember to position the female first (left side) in the cross. Type your answer here:
