Which joint allows a side-to-side movement called lateral excursion?

Biology
1 answer:
Ivenika [448]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Temporomandibular joint

Explanation:

The lateral excursion refers to the side to side gliding movement of jaws that is unique to mammals. Lateral jaw movement is allowed by a temporomandibular joint which is a joint formed by the condylar process of the mandible and the mandibular fossa and articular tubercle of the temporal bone. This joint has features of both hinge and plane joints.

At the temporomandibular joint, the mandible is movable since the temporal bone is anchored by sutures to the other bones of the skull. During grinding of food, when the posterior teeth are pulled into occlusion, mandible exhibits side to side movement. This lateral jaw movement is observed in animals such as cows and horses during chewing of their food.

name the bacteria found in the root nodules of leguminous plants and state the association of the bacteria with the leguminous p
Alexeev081 [22]
The root nodules of leguminous plants houses nitrogen-fixing bacteria called Rhizobia. Rhizobia has a symbiotic relationship with leguminous plants that allows both to benefit from each other.

By binding to hydrogen, the Rhizobia bacterium is able to  convert or fix nitrogen gas into ammonia , a form that the plant can use. Likewise, the legume plant provides the rhizobia bacterium with carbohydrate which the rhizobia depends on for energy. It is important to note that the carbohydrate sent to the nodules for the rhizobia is also what is used as a source of hydrogen to help the bacterium convert nitrogen to ammonia.

Life as we know it depends on the genetic code: a set of codons, each made up of three bases in a DNA sequence and corresponding
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

5 bases

Explanation:

If there are 17 amino acids and only 2 bases that can be combined in order to make a codon then:

for 4 bases 4^{2} is 16 and it is not enough combination for all 17 amino acids

for 5 bases 5^{2} is 25 combinations (meaning that more than one codon could code for the same amino acid).
