Answer:

Since testosterone is responsible for bone mass and muscle development, lack of this in male causes joint damage and muscle pain.

Explanation:

In a male body, the role of testosterone is not only linked to sexual behaviour but also to several other vital functions such as development of bones and muscles, hair growth, voice deepening etc. Thus, when a male is reported with the issue of low testosterone, there are high chances of this individual experiencing muscle aches, joint pains and reduced bone mass. This lack of testosterone in later stages causes arthritis in old age male.

Answer: Low levels of testosterone has been linked to joint pain and may cause rheumatoid arthritis in the long run. Rapid growth can lead to joint damage as the accelerated bone growth disrupts the supply of blood to the cartilage, causing bone death and regrowth.

Hope this helps!

Look at Figure 19–7 p.544. Which of the following explains why the edges of Africa and South America fit together like two piece

Ymorist [56]

This question is incomplete. However, the answer to this question is Continental Drift. Approximately 300 million years ago, there were not separate continents, only one giant super continent that we call Pangaea. Over time, scientists realised that the Earth's outer shell slides over the inner mantle through plate tectonics. Around 200 million years ago, Pangaea began to break up through the process of continental drift. Gondwana, incorporating present-day Africa, South America, Antarctica, India and Australia, split from Laurasia (Eurasia and North America). Approximately 150 million years ago, Gondwana started to break up into the present day continents

If adenine didn’t always pair with thymine and guanine didn’t always pair with cytosine, the new DNA ladders wouldn’t always be

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

they wouldnt be identical because for example Guanine could be paired with thymine in the original DNA strand but could decide to pair with adenine in the replication DNA. that would make a different type of DNA.

Explanation:

DNA replication is a beautiful process. In DNA replication adenine only pairs with thymine and guanine only pairs with cytosine. this ensures that a replication of the DNA will be the same type of DNA.

Replication works like this. Helicase splits open the DNA and each side is copied by DNA polymerase. If let's say the nucleotide bases for side 1 are ATGCGA then the DNA polymerase will pair these with the matching bases TACGCT which will make the same DNA but if each base could pair with any base they want that could create a few different variations of the original DNA. ATGCGA could very well be paired with TCGACA or CGACTA which would created two different types of DNA.

Answer:

B- lysosomes

Explanation:

Hydrolotic enzymes are enzymes that break down fat, lipids, etc... which help aid lysosomes in there job since the lysosomes break down waste products.

Using the genetic code below, what protein sequence does the rna sequence cuagcucgauaucuc code for?

mixer [17]

If CUAGCUCGAUAUCUC is a mRNA sequence then the codes are:
CUA - Leucine
GCU - Alanine
CGA - Arginine
UAU - Tyrosine
CUC – Leucine
This means that the protein synthesized during the translation is going to have a sequence LeuAlaArgTyrLeu.
