Why is the ulna less movable than the radius?

Biology
1 answer:
vaieri [72.5K]3 years ago
6 0
Ulna is less moveable than radius because it has a hinge joint with the humerus in the process of olecranon. This joint only enable you to extend or flex the lower hand but not rotation. This cause it becomes more stable and less prone to subluxation. Radius joint with the metacarpophalangeal bones in the hand is also a loose one that allows rotation movement.

DNA does all but which of the following?
siniylev [52]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-is read by ribosomes during the process of translation.

Explanation:

The DNA is a nucleic acid made up of nucleotides which serves as a genetic material of the cell. It stores the information required by the cell in the form of codons made up of nitrogenous bases. The DNA after transcription forms a messenger molecule called mRNA which is read by the ribosomes to code for specific amino acid which binds to form the proteins, the building block of the body.  

Since the mRNA is read by the ribosomes during translation and not DNA directly, therefore, the selected option is the correct answer.

The process of translation in prokaryotes can occur faster than in eukaryotes because
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

Transcription and translation occur simultaneously in prokaryotes.

Explanation:

Prokaryotes lack membrane-bound organelles and therefore, do not have a nucleus. Transcription and translation occur in the cytoplasm. As soon as the required length of mRNA is being formed, ribosomes join it and start the process of translation. Prokaryotic genes lack introns. The primary transcript formed by transcription in prokaryotes does not undergo splicing.

On the other hand, the process of transcription occurs in the nucleus in eukaryotes while translation occurs in the cytoplasm. The primary transcript formed by transcription in eukaryotes undergoes modifications to remove introns and to add a poly-A tail and 5' cap. Post-transcriptional modifications and spatial separation of two processes in eukaryotes result in slower translation than prokaryotes.
