Phenotype is referred to as the expressed trait that is caused by a certain combination of alleles.

<h3>What is phenotype?</h3>

Phenotype is referred to as the expressed trait that is caused by a certain combination of alleles. We will recall that the HbS allele is responsioble for the anemia that results from sickle shaped red blood cells.

This phenotype is both harmfull and benefical in the sense that it leads to the agglutination of the red blood cells in individuals that have this phenotype and eventual crisis. Also, it is beneficaila in that nthose who possess this phenotype do not suffer from malaria in the tropics.

Answer: Lack of energy

Explanation:

Oxygen is needed in a process known as Respiration where it is used to produce energy from glucose. This energy is what the cell uses to continue whatever functions that it carries out which are needed for the body to survive. If the cells don't get oxygen, they can't make energy and if they can't make energy, they die.

Some cells are more important than others and so will need a constant supply of oxygen. The brain for instance requires 20% of the oxygen used in the body. If the body suffers from a lack of oxygen for whatever reason, brain cells begin to die within about 4 minutes.

The brain is extremely important as it directs the body. If the cells there begin to die, the body deteriorates and the body stops engaging in certain processes due to a lack of direction from the brain. This coupled with the other cells dying around the body will lead to even more deterioration till the body dies.

Verdich [7]

Answer:

(b)- zone of hypertrophy

Explanation:

Hypertrophic cells synthesize alkaline phosphatase by calcifying the surrounding area; prevent the diffusion of substances, this causes chondrocyte death; therefore, the matrix degrades and the lagoons converge, then the blood vessels proliferate in the collarete to vascularize the cavity. The primitive periodic cells migrate to the vascular borders to become osteoprogenitor cells which are attached to the cartilaginous spicules leaving the degradation of the calcified cartilage, then they become osteoblasts. The combination of cartilage and bone matrix forms a mixed spicule.

Endochondral bone growth begins in the second trimester of fetal life and goes to adulthood, in it there is presence of epiphyseal cartilage.

The epiphyseal cartilage has several areas including:

<u>Hypertrophy zone</u>: it is composed of large chondrocytes that accumulate glycogen. The matrix is ​​compressed between the hypertrophied cartilaginous columns.
