Answer:

It is advantageous to have lesser number of bones in the pectoral girdle.

Explanation:

Pectoral girdle is made up by the bones that connect the upper limbs to the appendicular skeleton which includes all the limb bones. Pectoral girdle in humans is made up of two bones. They are clavicle (collar bone) and scapula. The pectoral girdle allows the free movement of upper limbs.

The bones of pectoral girdle are not as massive as the bones of pelvic girdle since it doesn’t have the function of support. Lesser number of bones in pectoral girdle makes movement of upper limbs more free.

Mycorrhizae are associations formed by fungi that grow on the roots of trees. These fungi penetrate into the roots of the trees. The trees produce energy through photosynthesis and share it with the fungi. The fungi act as decomposers, breaking down dead organic matter to provide nutrients for the trees to grow. The kind of relationship exhibited here is, A. The fungi share a mutualistic association with the trees.

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

AUG, ribosome, initiation, translation

Explanation:

The transfer of information from DNA to RNA to protein is called Central Dogma. The formation of protein from mRNA is translation. The translation begins with initiator codon AUG in mRNA. The ribosome small subunit (30s) binds to the RNA. The tRNA binds and then large subunit (50s) attaches with mRNA.

Thus, reading from 5’ to 3’, this RNA product has the sequence AUG. It binds to the small subunit of the ribosome. It is joined by the large subunit, completing the initiation stage of the process of translation.
