Muscle is the part of the body that is attached to the bones and are responsible mostly for body's locomotion. There are three types of which: (1) skeletal, (2) cardiac, (3) smooth. 

This part of the body is compact and thus has a greater density because it occupies larger mass for a given volume. 

                         density = mass / volume

Because it has great density then, the mass is also large. Thus, this accounts for a large portion of the body mass.

In 3-5 sentences, construct a summary of the process of gene expression, starting with DNA and ending with proteins.
sveta [45]

The mechanism of gene expression initiates with the process of transcription in which the genetic information in the DNA is into genetic codes in the form of messenger RNA.

<h3>What is the process of gene expression followed by transcription?</h3>

The process of gene expression followed by transcription is processed through the messenger RNA which then undergoes some processing such as modification of tails and removal of non-coding sequences before the genetic codes are translated to their respective amino acids in a process known as translation.

The amino acids are typically associated together by peptide bonds and the resulting primary protein structure is folded in specific ways depending on their functions.

Zarrin [17]

An antibiotic is a medicine, which is used to treat the infections caused by the bacteria. The antibiotics kill the bacteria generally by rupturing heir cell membrane or destroying their genetic materials, so that they cannot reproduce.

The structure of the bacteria and the viruses are completely different. Due to the difference in the structures of the bacteria and viruses, the antibiotics cannot work on viruses. So, the antibiotics are ineffective to cure the viral infections.
