Where is the scapula in relation to the olecranon?

A. Distal

B. Lateral

C. Ventral

D. Superior

Answer Explanation:

The scapula, commonly known as the shoulder blade, is above the olecranon, commonly known as the elbow. Conversely, the olecranon is distal or inferior to the scapula.

Therefore, the Correct Answer is D.

  • Q #2: Which of the following statements concerning the states of matter is NOT true?

    A. Plasmas are high-temperature collections of ions and free electrons.

    B. Solids are the least compressible due to the more rigid positions of the particles.

    C. Gases have no definite volume and expand to fill their containers

    D. Liquids have no definite shape and no definite volume.

    Answer Explanation

    Liquids have no definite shape, but they do have a definite volume. While the particles of liquids move more freely than those in solids, they do maintain a definite volume.

  • Q #3: What type of mutation is represented by the following sequence? Original: 123456 Mutated: 154326

    A. Breakage

    B. Deletion

    C. Insertion

    D. Inversion

    Answer Explanation

    An inversion mutation is represented in the sequence 1 5 4 3 2 6. An inversion error is a type of mutation where an entire sequence of DNA is reversed. In this case, 2 3 4 5 has been reversed to 5 4 3 2.

    Breakage, choice A, in a gene can mess up its function entirely or lead to a translocation of genetic information. Choice B, deletion, is when a section of DNA is omitted or lost.

    Choice C, Insertion, is when an extra base pair is added to a DNA sequence. Deletions and insertions can lead to a frameshift effect where entire sequences are thrown off because one nucleotide is wrong.

    This could result in coding for the wrong amino acid and non-functioning proteins.
