6 0

<u>ANSWER:</u>

The muscles and joints allow the hands to perform their function of holding and grasping a wide variety of things.

<u>EXPLANATION:</u>

  • The structure of hands is "very delicate and complex". The tendons, nerve fibres, tissues and thin muscles are located right under the skin.
  • The bones of the hand including the 4 carpal bones, 5 metacarpal and 14 finger bones are all connected by joints and ligaments and these allow the hand to grasp things.
  • The wrist is made of "two parts of a joint" that allow the extension and stretching of hands.

Explanation:

Nitrogen fixation is a biological process at which gaseous nitrogen is converted into an organism friendly form (ammonia (NH3). Nitrogen fixation is performed in nature by microorganisms in the soil.

HELP BIOLOGY???
dezoksy [38]

Ans.

The codons show genetic codes, made up of triplet of nucleotides in DNA or RNA that code for specific amino acids. The different codes can code for a same a amino acid. When a substitutional mutation occurs in genetic material, it shows substitution of one nucleotide pair for another and leads to formation of a different codon.

The first mutation that leads to CAU to CAC, it will not show any potential damage as both CAU and CAC codons code for histidine amino acid.

The second mutation that leads to UGU to UGC will also not show any damage to protein as both of these codons code for cysteine amino acid.

The third codon, that results UCU to UUU will cause a potential damage to protein as UUU codes for phenyl alanine (an aromatic, non-polar amino acid) and UCU codes for serine (a polar amino acid).

Thus, the correct answer is 'option C).' as in a protein, substitution of serine with phenylalanine will lead to change in structure and function of that protein.
