What is the definition of Neuromuscular Control

Name 4 important factors that can influence force production of a muscle. [1] [2] [3] [4]

Extra credit.  The 4 choices below show the genotypes of 4 individuals relative to 4 genes.  The “A gene” and the “B gene” shows complete dominance.  The “R gene” shows incomplete dominance.  The “T gene” is an X-linked gene.  Each gene influences only one trait, so there is no polygenic inheritance.      Genotype of individual 1: AA bb R3R4 XTY      Genotype of individual 2: aa Bb R3R5 XTXt      Genotype of individual 3: AA BB R1R1 XTXT      Genotype of individual 4: Aa BB R5R6 XtY Carefully examine these genotypes.  Which of the genes is multialleleic?  Select all correct choices. 

A couple has a child who has blood type AB.  What blood type can neither couple be?  Explain the reasoning/rationale behind your answer.

During the descent phase of a squat, the quadriceps are producing a(n) ___[1]___ contraction at the ___[2]___ joint.

 Marine clamworms have flat fleshy appendages used for respiration.  This trait is controlled by a single gene with two alleles.  The dominant allele results in appendages with 3 lobes while the recessive allele results in appendages with 2 lobes. A female worm with three-lobed appendages mates with a male with two-lobed appendages.  What is the genotype of the female if some of the offspring have appendages with 2 lobes?  How do you know?

When performing a PNF contract-relax stretch of the quadriceps, the patient will perform an 8 second [1]( Name type of Contraction) contraction of the [2] (Name Muscle) muscle

Which of the following are not assumptions of Mendelian genetics?  Select all correct choices.

This portion of the central nervous system is primarily used to detect changes in posture and balance

Examine the human karyotype below and answer the associated questions.        a.  Does this karyotype indicate a male or a female human?  How do you know?      b.  Does this karyotype indicate that a non-disjunction event (resulting in an aneuploidy) occurred?  Explain your answer.      c.  If the karyotype above is an aneuploidy, name the syndrome caused by the aneuploidy.
