Answer:

Calculating the age of a skeleton can be done by looking at the number of fused bones (option 3).

Explanation:

The calculation of skeleton bone age takes into account the complete ossification of bones, which occurs at various stages of human development.

In childhood, the epiphyses or ends of long bones are not completely ossified but are formed by cartilage, due to the process of growth. When development is achieved, the growth nuclei and cartilage disappear.

Bone age is a reliable parameter for calculating chronological age, as they are quite approximate.

The other options are not correct because:

1. The length of the femur is useful for calculating height.

2. The shape of the pelvis helps to differentiate the sex.

4. The color of the bones is not a useful parameter to calculate the age of the skeleton.

Describe the structures of proteins and nucleic acids, and then explain the relationship between these two molecules within a ce

barxatty [35]

Proteins are large biological molecules consisting of one or more chains of amino acids. Proteins differ from one another primarily in their sequence of amino acids, which is decided by the nucleotide sequence of their make-up, and which usually results in folding of the protein into a three-dimensional structure that determines its job.
 Nucleic acids are linear polymers (chains) of nucleotides. Each nucleotide consists of three things: a purine , nitrogenous base a pentose sugar, and a phosphate group.
 
Basically Proteins are chains of amino acids, nucleic acids are chains of nucleosides (base+sugar+phosphate), and the sequence of nucleic acid results in the specific sequence of amino acids in the protein, finnally determining its shape and function.
