Answer:

D. Fibrocartilage

Explanation:

In order to understand the question, we need to review the structure of intervertebral discs.

Intervertebral discs consist of two parts:

  • <u>NUCLEUS PULPOSUS:</u>

It forms the central part of the intervertebral disc and consists of mucoid substance.

  • <u>ANNULUS FIBROSUS:</u>

It is composed of encircling layers of fibrocartilage and fibrous tissue surrounding the nucleus pulposus

<u>SLIPPED DISC:</u>

It is characterized by the protrusion of nucleus pulposus through the annulus fibrosus accompanied by the compression of spinal nerves.

Patient may present with loss of sensory sensations or pain or both.

<u>CORRECT ANSWER:</u>

From the above review, the correct answer is <u>D. fibrocartilage</u> as it forms the annulus fibrosus.

DNA does all but which of the following?
siniylev [52]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-is read by ribosomes during the process of translation.

Explanation:

The DNA is a nucleic acid made up of nucleotides which serves as a genetic material of the cell. It stores the information required by the cell in the form of codons made up of nitrogenous bases. The DNA after transcription forms a messenger molecule called mRNA which is read by the ribosomes to code for specific amino acid which binds to form the proteins, the building block of the body.  

Since the mRNA is read by the ribosomes during translation and not DNA directly, therefore, the selected option is the correct answer.
