Causes of bone fractures can include:
Traumatic incidents such as sporting injuries, vehicle accidents and falls
Conditions such as osteoporosis and some types of cancer that cause bones to fracture more easily, meaning even minor trauma and falls can become serious.


Fractures are different from other injuries to the skeleton such as dislocations, although in some cases it can be hard to tell them apart. Sometimes, a person may have more than one type of injury. If in doubt, treat the injury as if it is a fracture.

The symptoms of a fracture depend on the particular bone and the severity of the injury, but may include:
Pain
Swelling
Bruising
Deformity
Inability to use the limb.


Different types of fracture include:
Closed (simple) fracture – the broken bone has not pierced the skin
Open (compound) fracture – the broken bone juts out through the skin, or a wound leads to the fracture site. Infection and external bleeding are more likely
Greenstick fracture – a small, slender crack in the bone. This can occur in children, because their bones are more flexible that an adult’s bones
Hairline fracture – the most common form is a stress fracture, often occurring in the foot or lower leg as a result of repeated stress from activities such as jogging or running
Complicated fracture – structures surrounding the fracture are injured. There may be damage to the veins, arteries or nerves, and there may also be injury to the lining of the bone (the periosteum)
Comminuted fracture – the bone is shattered into small pieces. This type of complicated fracture tends to heal more slowly
Avulsion fracture – muscles are anchored to bone with tendons, a type of connective tissue. Powerful muscle contractions can wrench the tendon free and pull out pieces of bone. This type of fracture is more common in the knee and shoulder joints
Compression fracture – occurs when two bones are forced against each other. The bones of the spine, called vertebrae, can have this type of fracture. Older people, particularly those with osteoporosis, are at higher risk.

frez [133]

The correct answer is - No.

The Cambrian explosion is a term used for the big and rapid diversification of the animal species, but it is not the period in which the animal life started. The animal life started in the period between 620 and 550 million years ago, in what is known as the Vendian Period. In the Vendian Period, the first complex animal organisms appeared, started to develop and evolve, though it is not a period where there was a high diversification of the species. The later Cambrian Period provided better living conditions, and that resulted in a so called ''explosion of life'', which resulted in much more new species developing and evolving.

According to the central dogma, which of the following represents the flow of genetic information in cells?
const2013 [10]

Answer:

DNA to RNA to protein.

Explanation:

Central dogma in biology was given by Crick in 1957. The central dogma explains the flow of genetic information in the cells.

According to the central dogma, DNA can multiply and increase its number by the process of replication. The information from DNA is changes to RNA by the process of transcription. The expression of protein product expression occur from the RNA by the process of translation. Hence, the information travels from DNA to RNA to protein.

Thus, the correct answer is option (2).

Volcanic ash has occasionally formed molds of animals. this occurs when the ash covers the animal and -
ANEK [815]

Out of the following given choice;

F.  replaces the animal's soft tissues.

G.  enters the animal's body cavity.

H.  hardens before the animal decays.

J.  mineralizes the animal's bones.

The answer H. This can be caused by hot pyroclastic flows or falling volcanic ash from the atmosphere following a volcanic eruption. The ash buries animals and plants intact without moving them and without completely crushing or burning them. Over time excess silica dissolved in the water often replaces soft bone materials molecule by molecule, creating an almost indestructible fossil (like petrified wood) that lasts for millions of years
