Answer:

According to wolff (German Anatomist and Surgeon),the adaptation shown by a  bone in an  healthy animal or human depends on the loads it bear.Therefore, changes in the structure or type  load the bone bears, will lead to a corresponding change in the bone bearing the load.A practical example is the development of the bone in hand used by a professional tennis player to hold racket.The bones of this hand usually appear stronger and well developed  than the other hand.

When a bony outgrowth, emerges in the mandible close to the surface of the tongue, this outgrowth is called Torus mandibularis. It is commonly found near the premolars, in a bilateral conditions. It is common among the Asian and the indigenous people of  Canada, Greenland and Alaska(the Inuit).

If it is caused by bruxism (teeth grinding)This will create stress on the impacted bone.Therefore based on Wolff's theory, the impact of this  local stress,(teeth grinding) may cause transformation in the shape of the part of the mandible associated with the teeth,an therefore leads to  the  bony outgrowth.

This theory may also be interpreted  with Lamarck theory  of use and disuse.

Derived from a 6 membered ring. Contains Cytosine, Thymine, and Uracil.
dybincka [34]

Answer:

b. Nucleotides  

Explanation:

Nucleic acids are examples of structures formed from nucleotides. And in relation to the composition of DNA, we have the formation of the largest cellular macromolecule, all formed by nucleotides.

The nucleotide is a group formed by the association of 3 molecules - a nitrogen base, a phosphate group and a pentose glycide. Thus, we may have variations within these ligands, such as: in DNA we have the presence of pentose deoxyribose, while in RNA we have the presence of pentose ribose.

The nucleotides have differences in relation to its nitrogen base, which can be purine or pyrimidine. Purine bases vary in Adenine and Guanine, while pyrimidine bases are classified in Thymine, Uracil and Cytosine. Purine and pyrimidine bases are complementary and each have specific binders. Thus, we have that the purine base Adenina, binds with the pyrimidine bases Timina and Uracila, while the base Guanina binds exclusively to Cytosine and vice versa.

For what purpose is mitochondrial genomics used
bezimeni [28]

<span>The mitochondria are famously known as the powerhouse of the cell since it is the one that gives the cells energy that is also used by the human being.  This energy conversion is called oxidative phosphorylation. Mitochondria are found in eukaryotic cells, including humans.  These organelles also had its own genome, or what we called as DNA which is known as mitochondrial DNA, or mtDNA which is present in the mitochondrial matrix.  The role of mtDNA or mitochondrial DNA is to convert the energy from food into any other forms that it thinks the cell can use.  It is containing 37 genes which are all necessary for a normal mitochondrial function.</span>
