Answer:

The correct answer is: supraspinatus.

Explanation:

Many muscles insert in the humerus - in its greater tubercle, where the fracture took place, is where three of the four rotator cuff muscles insert: <u>supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and teres minor</u>. Avulsion of the greater tubercle could result in detachment of any of these 3 muscles but if we take into account that the 15-year-old boy had <u>difficulty initiating abduction of the upper limb, we can infer that the damaged muscle is the supraspinatus because its main action is to start the abduction the upper limb</u>.

Verizon [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is rRNA plays an important role during translation (protein synthesis) of mRNA.

Explanation:

Ribosomal RNA or rRNA are the RNA molecules which build up the site for protein synthesis known as ribosomes.

Ribosome synthesis takes place in nucleolus where two types of rRNA molecules associates with proteins, one in large subunit and one in the small subunit to form ribosomes.

These ribosomes physically moves along an mRNA molecule and catalyze the assembly of amino acids where rRNA molecules performs the catalytic steps of protein synthesis that is stitches amino acids together and makes up proteins.

Thus,  rRNA plays an important role during translation (protein synthesis) of mRNA.
