The diagnosis was that the extreme eversion and plantar flexion that occurred during the fall resulted in a severe dislocation o

f the ankle joint proper (talocrural joint) and spraining of the ankle at the calcaneofibular ligament. The surgeon stated that she would perform a reduction of the dislocation and then attempt to repair the injured ligament using arthroscopy. Which bones would have been dislocated?
a. Calcaneus, talus, and tibia
b. Talus, tibia and fibula
c. Talus and fibula

Answer:

b. Talus, tibia and fibula

Explanation:

In this scenario, the diagnosis was that the extreme eversion and plantar flexion that occurred during the fall resulted in a severe dislocation of the ankle joint proper (talocrural joint) and spraining of the ankle at the calcaneofibular ligament. The surgeon stated that she would perform a reduction of the dislocation and then attempt to repair the injured ligament using arthroscopy. Thus, the bones which would have been dislocated are talus, tibia and fibula.

Generally, when the anterior cruciate ligament which is one of the key ligaments that stabilizes the knee joint is damaged, a surgeon would have to perform a reconstruction. The tibia bone is a shinbone and it is connected by the anterior cruciate ligament with the femur (thighbone).

Basically, the ankle joint is made up of three (3) main bones and these are the tibia, talus and fibula, thus, they would all need to be repaired by the surgeon through arthroscopy.

In humans, the allele for the dimple trait is dominant over the allele for the non-dimple trait, and the allele for the cleft ch
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

Probability of Dimples and a cleft chin among their offspring = 1/4

Probability of no dimples and a non-cleft chin = 1/4

Explanation:

the allele for the dimple trait D is dominant over the allele for the non-dimple trait d.

the allele for the cleft chin trait C is dominant over the allele for the non-cleft chin trait c.

Mr. Smith has heterozygous alleles for both traits.

Mrs. Smith does not have dimples, nor does she have a cleft chin

Mr Smith DdCc x. ddcc

Probability of Dimples and a cleft chin among their offspring = Dd x dd = 1/2

Cc x cc = 1/2 = 1/2*1/2 = 1/4

Probability of no dimples and a non-cleft chin = Dd x dd = 1/2, Cc x cc = 1/2 = 1/2*1/2 = 1/4.

Why were some bacteria and viruses were radioactive at the end of the Hershey chase experiment?
mojhsa [17]
Radioactive isotopes got scattered in the experiment which contained radion, however, the bacteria didn't have a high amount of radiation. You even eat radiation every day. For Example, a banana has approximately 1/1,000,000 sieverts. in order for that radiation to kill you, you would need the radiation of 2 sieverts, or 2 trillion bananas.
