Your thumb contains the only saddle joint in the entire body. How would your hand function differently if your thumb contained a

pivot joint? What if it contained a ball and socket joint? Describe four consequences of having a different type of joint in the thumb.

Your thumb could bend in other ways and could be moved in a 360 degrees if it was a ball and joint, if it was a pivot it could only move in a straight line and not bend like we are used too, the thumbs are opposable so humans can grab things if a different joint is used it can have a harsh affect on the human structure and functions, a major consequence is that if this evolution happened suddenly now out technology could not comprehend with this evolution and we could lose our ability to use now day tools

Basically, your thumb is the only part of your body that has saddle joints. The bones in your saddles joint is responsible for moving back and forth, side to side. These joints are free enough to make any motion in your body. They are the only joints that can do 360 degrees and rotate with their own axis. But, because of its free-moving, it is prone to any dislocation compared to other movable joints.

Who discovered that dna was the genetic material or transforming factor that could convert nonvirulent r-type streptococcus pneu
KatRina [158]
Discovery
               In 1928 it was discovered by Frederick Griffith in an experiment generally known as transformation.

Experiment
                 
 In his experiment he considered two strains of <em>streptococus pneumonia,</em> one was R-type which was non-virulent and cause no disease in mice, other was virulent and S-type which cause disease and at last death of mice.
This experiment was comprised of four steps which are as follow:

 Step 1:
           First he injected living strain of S into mice, after sometime mouce died.

Step 2:
          He injected living strain of R into mice, the mice alive as he did not got any disease.

Step 3:
         He injected heat killed strain of S into mice and mice remain alive.

Step 4:
           He mixed living R strain with heat killed S strain and then inject into mice. As a result the mice died.

Conclusion:
                  It was found that genetic material from heat killed S stain were transferred to living R (non-virulent) strain, as a result R become virulent and cause the death of mice.

In the exercise to determine the concentration of a solution of CuSO4, for the
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

Experimentally, when trying to determine the concentration of an unknown sample of CuSO₄ with known absorbance, a standard curve is used. The standard curve is a scattered plot/graph in which known concentrations and there respective/corresponding absorbance are plotted on a "X and Y axis" graph (scattered plot). The absorbance is represented on the y-axis while the concentration is represented on the x-axis.

Once this known values are plotted on the standard curve, an unknown value (either absorbance or concentration) can be extrapolated from the curve. What is missing from the question is data required for the standard curve.

This question shows the absorbance of the CuSO₄ has been determined (most likely using spectrophotometer), the concentration could have been extrapolated from a standard curve.

An example of a standard curve is provided in the attachment for guidance.
