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.

Which method(s) can be used to join double-stranded breaks in DNA? (choose all that apply)
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

Option (a) and (d).

Explanation:

The breaks in DNA molecule may occur due to replication error and oxidizing agent. The double-stranded breaks in DNA can be corrected by Homologous end joining and non homologous end joining.

Homologous end joining is used to repair the DNA present in G2 nad S phases of the cell cycle. The homologous sequences of DNA is used to repair the DNA. Non homologous end joining occurs in the cell present at G0 and G1 phase of the cell cycle. The DNA broken ends are juxtaposed and later rejoin together by DNA ligase.

Thus, the correct answer is option (a) and (d).

Why are ganymede and callisto geologically dead while the other two galilean moons of jupiter are active?
kvasek [131]

Ganymede & Callisto are low-density moons with a mixture of ice and rock. They are farther from Jupiter and are geologically dead.

The four largest moons of Jupiter, Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto, are known as the Galilean moons or Galilean satellites. Galileo Galilei initially observed them in December 1609 or January 1610, and in March 1610, he identified them as Jupiter satellites. They were the first discovered extraterrestrial objects orbiting a planet other than the Earth.
