Why are lumbar vertebrae that are (a) dorsally wedged and (b) exhibit coronally oriented zygapophyses important adaptations for bipedal locomotion

The options are missing from the question.

Below are the options.

a. To help stabilize the trunk over the upper spine, and to prevent dorsal slipping of the cervical vertebrae.

b. To prevent the creation of an s-curved spine, typical of quadrupedal organisms.

c. To facilitate the bicondylar angle of the foramen magnum.

d. To help stabilize the trunk over the lower spine, and to prevent ventral slipping of the lumbar vertebrae.

The correct answer to the question is option D.

TO HELP STABILIZE THE TRUNK OVER THE LOWER SPINE,AND TO PREVENT VENTRAL SLIPPING OF THE LUMBER VERTEBRAE

The wedge shape of the lumber vertebrae and it's coronal orientation helps in facilitating bipedal locomotion and bearing of load. It is also reduces the efforts of the muscles as it walks in bipedal locomotion.

It has a way of helping to decrease the negative effects forc has over the vertebrae and the spinal cord.

Finally, It also helps by bringing the center of gravity to the feet.

answer; i believe the answer is (polygenic inheritance;

1: most common garden plants prefer loam — soils with a balance of different-sized mineral particles (approximately 40% sand, 40% silt, and 20% clay) with ample organic matter and pore space. however, some plants grow better in sandy soils, while others are well-adapted to clay soils.

2: available water capacity is the maximum amount of plant available water a soil can provide. it is an indicator of a soil's ability to retain water and make it sufficiently available for plant use. available water capacity is the water held in soil between its field capacity and permanent wilting point.

3: it is the same for all living things (plants and animals). it also includes very tiny organisms that our eyes cannot see. they are known as microorganisms, and include viruses, bacteria and fungi.
