The muscles of the foot, along with a tough, sinewy tissue known as the plantar fascia, provide secondary support to the foot. The foot has internal muscles that originate and insert in the foot and external muscles that begin in the lower leg and attach in various places on the bones of the foot.
A haplogroup is a genetic population group of people who share a common ancestor on the patrilineal or matrilineal line. Haplogroups are assigned letters of the alphabet, and refinements consist of additional number and letter combinations.NPs are locations on the DNA where one nucleotide has mutated or switched to a different nucleotide. Because a haplogroup consists of similar haplotypes, it is possible to predict a haplogroup from the haplotype.
haploid Having half the number of chromosomes present in a normal body cell. The germ cells, the sperms and eggs (ova) are haploid, so that, on fusion, the full number is made up. From the Greek haploeides , single. haploid (of a cell nucleus) containing one of each type of chromosome. a haploid organism in which the main life stage has cell nuclei with one of each type of chromosome, written as ânâ. Such organisms (e.g. fungi, many algae) usually have a brief DIPLOID (2) phase (2n), returning to the haploid state via MEIOSIS. See ALTERNATION OF GENERATIONS. haploid,
