Summary Introduction
To review:
The mechanism of scutes (the keratinous external plates covering the belly and back) pattern formation in turtle.
Introduction:
In case of majority of turtles, the shell is covered by the large epidermal scutes, where the boundaries are marked by narrow skin depressions characterized as horny furrows. The specific mosaic formed by the scutes is not observed in other squamate animals. The significant difference in size of the turtle, do not form distinct transverse rows, which is a characteristic of pholidosis of the majority of reptiles, like lizards, snakes, and crocodiles.

Read through each scenario and answer the following questions: a. Determine the genotypes of all individuals discussed in each scenario in addition to yours, your partners’, and your unborn child. For example, “You remember your partner telling you that their father died at an early age of Huntington’s disease.” In this case you would need to determine your partner’s father’s genotype. b. Determine what probability your unborn child will inherit the disorder (be sure to include a Punnett square)? i.

- Q23: what is the correct answerarrow_forwardNeed help with 5-7 please Pre-laboratory questionsarrow_forwardProject 2 Muscle Diseases: Muscular Dystrophy1Spunky is a 5-year-old girl who has very large calf muscles and shows severe weakness in her leg and armmuscles. Laboratory tests showed that Spunky has high levels of creatine phosphokinase in her urine. The doctor explained to her parents that Spunky!s muscles are being replaced by fat and connective tissue because her body cells cannot metabolize protein properly. As a result, Spunky!s cells cannot produce creatine from amino acids. Therefore, she cannot store creatine phosphate in her muscles that is necessary to provide energy for her muscles to contract. Help Spunky!s parents understand her disease by completing the following tasks.2. Write the origin and insertion point of each muscle.3. Draw a diagram to show how a muscle fiber uses energy for contraction.arrow_forward
