Answer: Epiphyseal plate

Explanation:

Achondroplasia is a disorder in which the bone growth prevents the changing of the cartilage. It is shown by the sign of dwarfism, large head, small fingers et cetera.

The long bones of legs and arms are affected in this condition and there is reduced hyperplasia and hypertrophy in the cartilage.

These people appear dwarf but have normal intelligence. The epiphyseal bone is responsible for the growth of people and any hyperthrophy or proliferation in bone leads to dwarfism.

Answer:

The correct answer is - epiphyseal plate.

Explanation:

Achondroplastic dwarfism is genetic disorder that occurs Due to the failing in elongation of the long bones of the limbs. This failing of the elongation takes place due to the reduced hyperplasia and hypertrophy of cartilage in the epiphyseal plate, that present at the end of long bones and produce the bone.

The epiphyseal plate is the site of growth of the bones for longitudinal growth by the hypertrophy, and proliferation of cell. Change or error in the gene cause the reduce hypertrophy and proliferation of the cell of cartilage in the epiphyseal plate that leads to the Achondroplastic dwarfism.

Thus, the correct answer is - epiphyseal plate.

What best explains the interaction between tRNA and mRNA during translation?
Deffense [45]
MRNA is the RNA that assists in Messaging the DNAs instructions to the ribosomes (sites of protein synthesis). tRNA helps to transfer the necessary amino acids to the ribosomes. In short, mRNA tells the ribosomes what amino acids to use and in what order. tRNA “retrieves” those and bring later them to the ribosomes.

Put these time divisions in order, from longest to shortest. eon period epoch
Delvig [45]
 The order from the longest to the largest will be; Eon, Era, Period, Epoch.
Eon is the longest division of geologic time. Epoch is the shortest division of geologic time, only present in Cenozoic Era. Era is the second longest division of time, marked by sweeping changes in the fossil record. Period is the time division which is longer than an epoch but shorter than an Era.

What technology is allowing astronomers to study these phenomena such as star explosions, neutron stars, and black holes
Vanyuwa [196]

Phenomena such as star explosions, neutron stars, black holes etc. are studied with the help of extremely powerful and sensitive telescopes.

These sophisticated instruments are able to see more than our own eyes can. Thus, they detect wavelengths outside of those found in our visible spectrum, such as X-rays etc.

The most sophisticated telescopes are those that are placed in space such as the Hubble or Spitzer Space Telescope. In this way, these instruments are able to circumvent the Earth's atmosphere that may block the view of the sky. Thus, in space, they have the optimal conditions to observe and study in detail such phenomena.
