Plate tectonics<span> play a significant role in the formation of volcanoes on the Earth’s surface. Volcanoes can either be formed by tectonic plates moving away or towards each other. When plates move away from each other such as at the mid-oceanic ridges, the phenomena is referred to as being a divergent plate boundary.</span>

DNA wrapped around histone proteins forms a material called ____ which condenses tightly to form _____ that can be seen with a l

makkiz [27]

Answer:

The correct answer will be-

1. Nucleosomes

2. Chromatin

3. Sister chroamtid

4. Centromere

Explanation:

The DNA is a very long molecule which if has to be passed on to the daughter cell as it is will cause problems. So, to reduce problems a cell form tightly packed structure of DNA so that they can be passed easily to the daughter cell.

The packaging of DNA begins with the wrapping of the DNA around histone proteins which forms the 11 nm basic structural units called nucleosomes. The nucleosomes start condensing each other and form 30 nm structure chromatin fibres.

The chromatin fibres undergo replication during S phase which produces an exact copy of the chromatin called sister chromatids bound to each other at a central point called centromere which helps the separation of the chromatids during M phase.

What is the relationship between ligaments, bones and joints?

kakasveta [241]

Ligaments connect one bone to another bone. Therefore, they allow a joint to form, because joints are where two or more bones connect.

Take your knee joint for instance (***see attached pic***). The knee joint is formed by the connection of the femur (your thigh bone), the tibia (your shin bone), and the fibula (the other long bone in your lower leg). In order for all of these bones to connect there are many ligaments in the knee joint that keep the bones connected and in place. A well known example of one of these ligaments in the knee joint is the ACL (anterior crucate ligament), which is commonly torn in sports, namely football. Most people have heard of this ligament because it receives a lot of media attention since tearing it can greatly alter or even end professional athletes' careers.
