The genome of an organism is inscribed in DNA, or in some viruses RNA. The portion of the genome that codes for a protein or an RNA is referred to as a gene. Those genes that code for proteins are composed of tri-nucleotide units called codons, each coding for a single amino acid.

he discipline of microbiology is intimately associated with biochemistry and genetics, because cells are both biochemical cataly

Archy [21]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

<u>The discipline of microbiology has to do with the study of microorganisms - tiny organisms that cannot be seen with the ordinary eyes except with the microscope.</u>

<em>Within the cells of microorganisms just as in every other cell, various biochemical processes take place in order to ensure the continued viability of the cells. Genetic information are also passed on from parent to daughter cells during the process of reproduction or cell division.</em>

Hence, the field of microbiology is associated with both biochemistry and genetics.

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.
