Answer:

c. Base substitutions and base deletions

Explanation:

A mutation is any change in the DNA sequence (i.e., the genome) of the cells of a particular organism. Mutations may result of 1-substitutions of one of the four nucleotide bases (Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine and Guanine) by other nucleotide bases (for example, when Adenine is replaced by Cytosine), 2-deletions, where one or more bases are removed from the DNA sequence, and 3-insertions, where one or more nucleotide bases are added to the DNA sequence. Insertions and deletions are collectively referred to as 'indels' (insertion/deletion) mutations.

Janis tore a ligament in her ankle. Until the injury heals, she is at most risk for which of the following? dislocating bones lo
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

The correct answer is ''dislocating bones.''

Explanation:

When the bone " pops out" or dislodges from its place (joint), a dislocation occurs. An ankle dislocation, like any other joint, occurs when the 2 articular surfaces of the ankle separate, in this case when the talus ( together with the rest of the foot) " pops out of place" and is no longer in contact with the surface of the tibia-fibula. This leads to the complete breakdown of the ligaments that hold the joint in place, causing the bones to " pops out." Producing significant deformities in the affected joint.
