What is the relationship between ligaments, bones and joints?​

Biology

Ligaments connect one bone to another bone. Therefore, they allow a joint to form, because joints are where two or more bones connect.

Take your knee joint for instance (***see attached pic***). The knee joint is formed by the connection of the femur (your thigh bone), the tibia (your shin bone), and the fibula (the other long bone in your lower leg). In order for all of these bones to connect there are many ligaments in the knee joint that keep the bones connected and in place.  A well known example of one of these ligaments in the knee joint is the ACL (anterior crucate ligament), which is commonly torn in sports, namely football. Most people have heard of this ligament because it receives a lot of media attention since tearing it can greatly alter or even end professional athletes' careers.

Chargaff's Rule. If there is 20% Adenine in the cell, what is the percentage of Thymine, Guanine, and Cytosine found in the same
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

A= 20%

G= 30%

T= 20%

C= 30%

Explanation:

Recall that the sum of all nitrogenous bases in the DNA nucleotide is equal to 100%. And specific base pairings of Adenine to Thymine (A=T), and Cytosine to Guanine (C=G) must be equal.

So, the percentage of Adenine equal thymine, and that of cytosine equals guanine.

Now, A + T + C + G = 100%

So, if Adenine makes up 20% of the DNA nucleotides, Thymine is also 20%.

Then, 20% + 20% + C + G = 100%

40% + C + G = 100%

C + G = 100% - 40% = 60%

So, divide 60% by 2 to obtain the individual percentage of cytosine and guanine. Each will take 30%

Finally, A= 20%; G= 30%; T= 20%; C= 30%

In what way do the particular proteins in our bodies depend on our DNA.
NISA [10]

Answer:

Proteins are synthesized in the body through a process called Translation. Translation occurs in the cytoplasm and involves converting genetic codes into proteins. Genetic Codes are assembled during DNA transcription, where DNA is decoded into RNA. The cell structures called Ribosomes. Ribosomes help transcribe RNA into polypeptide-chains that need to be modified to become functioning proteins.
