Answer:

C. Genetic material composed of nucleic acid

Explanation:

The information needed by every organism to perform life functions like reproduction, growth etc are held in the genetic material that the organism carries in its genome. Every genetic material of organisms is composed of nucleic acids, which are only two in nature i.e. Ribonucleic acid (RNA) and Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). This is a common feature of all organisms including bacteria and viruses that they contain genetic material which must be in form of a nucleic acid.

The viruses do not undergo a cell division, neither do they contain protein synthesis structures called Ribosomes because they do not have the ability to reproduce or perform any living process outside a living host cell. This means that they strictly depend on another organism's transcriptional, translational, replicational ability to survive.

Correctly match the following: - fibrous joint between radius and ulna - fibrous joint that unites bones of the skull - articula
topjm [15]

Answer:

- fibrous joint between radius and ulna: C. syndesmosis

- fibrous joint that unites bones of the skull: H. suture

- articulation between teeth and bone: J. gomphosis

- joint with a cavity between bones: E. synovial

- the epiphyseal plate: F. synchondrosis

- articulation between two pubic bones: A. symphysis

- permits opposition and reposition:  B. saddle  

- fibrocartilagenous fluid filled sacs outside the joint cavity: G. meniscus

- most common degenerative joint disease: D. osteoarthritis    

- movement of the sole laterally:  I. eversion  

Explanation:

The syndesmosis can be defined as a fibrous joint held together by ligaments. Sutures are fibrous joints of tissue that link the cranial bones of the skull. A gomphosis is a mobile fibrous that binds the teeth into sockets in the mandible and maxilla. Synovial joints are joints found between bones that move against each other (e.g., shoulder bones). They (synovial joints) are the most common class of joints found in the body. A symphysis is a cartilaginous, slightly movable, joint between two bones. A saddle is a synovial joint whose opposing surfaces are concave and convex, respectively. Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis, this condition occurs when the protective cartilage surrounding the bones wears away over time. Finally, eversion refers to a type of movement of the foot which occurs in the auctioneering joint.

Consider the classification levels of a honey bee.
frez [133]

Answer:

Insecta

Explanation:

The classification levels are the following from broadest to the most specific:

Domain

Kingdom

Phylum

Class

Order

Family

Genus

Species

In your selection it is listed in that order:

Domain   --- Eukarya

Kingdom --- Animalia

Phylum  --- Arthropoda

Class     --- Insecta

Order    --- Hymenoptera

Family   --- Apidae

Genus   --- Apis

Species --- Mellifera

When you name the organism, we use the two name or binary naming system, getting the genus and the species. So the scientific name of the honey bee is: Apis mellifera
