Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The anatomical positions are important in identifying the location of body parts. Based on the anatomical position, it is called as posterior, ventral, anterior, dorsal, superior, medial, inferior, proximal, and so on.

Answer to Problem 1TYR

Correct answer:

Keeping the mouth close is not considered as anatomical position. Therefore, option dis correct.

Explanation of Solution

Justify reasons for the correct statement:

When the mouth is closed, it makes a voluntary movement and it could not be taken as an anatomical position. Anatomical position should be of involuntary movement.

Option (d) is given as, “mouth closed”.

While standing in an anatomical position, one must open the mouth a little wider.

Hence, option (d)is correct.

Justify reasons for the incorrect statements:

Option (a) is given as, “feet together”.

While standing in anatomical position, the knees should touch each other on the lateral side and feet should be together by touching at the ankles. Hence, it is a wrong answer

Option (b) is given as, “feet flat on the floor”.

In anatomical position, while standing upright, the feet should be flat on the floor by touching each other at the ankles. Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Option (c) is given as, “palms forward”.

While standing upright in anatomical position, elbow should touch the adjacent of the torsoand the palms should be facing forward with fingers open.Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Option (e) is given as, “arms down to side”.

While standing in anatomical position, the arms should be touching the sides of the torso and it should be let freely down with palms facing forward. Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Hence, options (a), (b), (c), and (e) are incorrect.

Conclusion

In anatomical position, all the body parts must be able to identify easily.

Three of the many recessive mutations in Drosophila melanogaster that affect body color, wing shape, or bristle morphology are black (b) body versus grey in wild type, dumpy (dp), obliquely truncated wings versus long wings in the male, and hooked (hk) bristles versus not hooked in the wild type.  From a cross of a dumpy female with a black and hooked male, all of the F1 were wild type for all three of the characters.  The testcross of an F1 female with a dumpy, black, hooked male gave the following results:   Trait Number of individuals Wild type 169 Black 19 Black, hooked 301 Dumpy, hooked 21 Hooked, dumpy, black 172 Dumpy, black 6 Dumpy 305 Hooked 8   Determine the order of the genes and the mapping distance between genes. Determine the coefficient of confidence for the portion of the chromosome involved in the cross. How much interference takes place in the cross?

Genes at loci f, m, and w are linked, but their order is unknown.  The F1 heterozygotes from a cross of FFMMWW x ffmmww are test crossed.  The most frequent phenotypes in the test cross progeny will be FMW and fmw regardless of what the gene order turns out to be.  What classes of testcross progeny (phenotypes) would be least frequent if locus m is in the middle? What classes would be least frequent if locus f is in the middle? What classes would be least frequent if locus w is in the middle?
