Answer: The correct answer to the question is option C
OSTEOARTHRITIS.
The client has a degenerative form of disease that is evidenced by osteoarthritis.
Explanation: Osteoporosis is otherwise known as degenerative joint disease.
In a healthy joint,a protective cartilage cushions the end of bones(articulating bones) and as well acting as a shock absorber.
In osteoarthritis,these cartilage that acts as a cushion to the bones wears down down or generates with time exposing the joint and the bones predisposing them to mild to moderate friction that occurs as a result of mobility of the bones/joint.
Osteoarthritis mostly affect joints of the hips, hands,spine and knees.
Some of the common symptoms of Osteoarthritis are;pain in the joints of the hands,knees,hips,lower back and neck with crackles,stiffness and tenderness of the joints which often results to difficulty in walking and deformity of the joint if left untreated.

Answer:
The correct option is A. Steroid hormones exert their action by entering the nucleus of a cell and initiating or altering the expression of a gene.
Explanation:
Steroid hormones are derived from cholesterol and regulate multiple biological processes. All steroid hormones exert their action by crossing the plasma membrane and by binding with their respective intracellular receptors. They stimulate cell growth in a very different way, their lipophilic nature gives them the ability to cross lipid barriers, so, without the need for extracellular signals, these hormones can easily enter the cell, cross the cytoplasm and reach the nucleus. There they bind to specific receptors that are associated with DNA promoter regions, modifying their structure and promoting the expression of the genes under their control.
Answer:
The correct answer is option a. "Double-stranded regions of RNA typically take on an B-form right-handed helix".
Explanation:
Most of the native double-stranded DNA is on an B-form right-handed helix, following the structure proposed by Watson and Crick with about 10–10.5 base pairs per turn. However, double-stranded RNA does not follow this structure, and most regions have an A-form structure. The A-form right-handed helix have slightly more base pairs per turn, which makes it 20-25% shorter than B-DNA.
