Answer: True

 

Explanation:

The dual energy x-ray absorptimetry is a technique that is used for measuring the bone mineral density. This technique utilizes the two X-ray beams with different levels of energy. The soft tissues are subtracted in this procedure and the beam is absorbed by the bone. This technique is useful for diagnosis of osteoporosis, to check and diagnose the infected, fractured and healing bones.

Fluid retention is a condition in which excess fluid due to capillary leakage or any other reason fills up inside the circulatory system, body tissues and cavities. The following symptoms will appear:

Discolored skin, aches and tenderness in the limbs, stiffness in joints and weight gain.

The retained excess fluid may react with the X-ray beam hence, will interfere in the process of diagnosis. Thus caution should be taken for such individuals.

Which of the following occurs when a cell repairs a double-strand DNA break by the process of nonhomologous end joining? 1.The D
victus00 [196]

Answer:

option 3

Explanation:

In non-homologous end joining, the break ends are directly ligated together without the need for a homologous template unlike the homologous repair. this form of repair uses short homologous sequences of DNA termed microhomologies to direct repair and these microhomologies are seen as single-stranded overhangs found on the ends of double-strand breaks. When the overhangs are perfectly compatible, NHEJ ligates and repair the break. When these overhangs are not compatible, imprecise repair leading to deletion of nucleotides can also occur which is much more common .
