Viktor [21]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

According to Erwin Chargff's rule, he stated that, adenine (a purine) always forms base pairs with thymine (a pyrimidine) and that guanine (a purine) always forms base pairs with cytosine (a pyrimidine). an adenine does not form base pairs with cytosine despite it being a pyrimidine.

thus the amount of adenine will always be equal to that of thymine while

the amount of guanine will always be equal to that of cytosine. Therefore, since we have 22% of adenine, the amount of thymine will also be 22% making a total of 44%. thus to find the amount of guanine and cytosine = 100-44= 56%.

the amount of guanine will thus be 56/2= 28%, since guanine and cytosine are of equal amount.

Janis tore a ligament in her ankle. Until the injury heals, she is at most risk for which of the following? dislocating bones lo
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

The correct answer is ''dislocating bones.''

Explanation:

When the bone " pops out" or dislodges from its place (joint), a dislocation occurs. An ankle dislocation, like any other joint, occurs when the 2 articular surfaces of the ankle separate, in this case when the talus ( together with the rest of the foot) " pops out of place" and is no longer in contact with the surface of the tibia-fibula. This leads to the complete breakdown of the ligaments that hold the joint in place, causing the bones to " pops out." Producing significant deformities in the affected joint.
