Answer:the component materials and their arrangement

Explanation:

Bone are important for movement in animals.bones is made up of 15% water,30% collagen fibres and 55% mineral salts..bone cells are widely separated. The Collagen makes bones soft and flexible. Mineral salts makes it fragile and strong.

The osteogenic cells builds the bones and the osteoclasts breaks down older bone tissue, in order to keep the body strong.

Spongy bones contains tiny spicules that helps in strength.

It also reduces the weight of the bones .

The cells of Compact bones are arranged in the direction of stress to keep the bone strong.

They are constantly changing throughout life

Explain why red blood cells are unable to replace damaged proteins
Harman [31]


The sole reason why red blood cells are unable to replace damaged proteins is that red blood cells lack DNA and cell organelles such as nucleus, ribosomes and mitochondria which are crucial for protein synthesis, assembly and repair. In other words they lack both the information and the machinery for making or repair of proteins.

Due to  lack of DNA and cell organelles, red blood cells cannot be able satisfy the central dogma which  summarizes synthesis of proteins as DNA → RNA → proteins.

DNA has the genetic information on how proteins should be made, RNA is responsible for transferring the information from DNA in the cell nucleus to the ribosomes  in the cytoplasm,  then translating or decoding  this information, which results in the making of  protein.

Which of the following are useful traits of cloning vectors?
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option - e. all of the above are useful traits.

Explanation:

A cloning vector is a small segment of DNA that can be established stably in an individual organism and able to internalize a foreign DNA for cloning purposes. The cloning vector could be taken from different organisms such as plasmid of a bacterium, or DNA from a virus. A cloning vector must possess some characteristics -  

The cloning vector must be self-replicating ability in the host cells, it should be small in size with restriction site for the restriction endonuclease enzymes in it. The replication character of the vector should not interfere with the internalized DNA fragment. The presence of marker genes in the vector is also a property that is helpful in identifying of recombinant cells.

Thus, the correct answer is option - e. all of the above are useful traits.

A planet has an orbital period of 3.24 years. What is the average distance of the planet from the sun?
Brut [27]

Answer;

-5.83 AU

Explanation;

A year is defined as the time it takes a planet to complete one revolution of the Sun, for Earth this is just over 365 days. This is also known as the orbital period. Unsurprisingly the the length of each planet’s year correlates with its distance from the Sun.

Using the equation;

t² = a³

t = 3.24 years, the time it takes the planet to orbit .

a (astronomical units) = 3.24 ^3/2

                                    = 5.83 anatomical units (AU).
