Answer:

stimulate blood vessels to develop within cartilage

Explanation:

Most connective tissue, cartilage includes have a very inadequate blood supply because it has no blood vessels innervations in it. It relies on diffusion for nutrient supply of the chondrocytes cells. This is why the chondrocytes divide very slowly compared to other cells. This is exactly the same reason why healing of cartilage takes more time to heal. In addition, due to the chondrocytes fixed position in lacunae, they cannot migrate to a  scar to begin the healing process. Cartilages attempt to repair themselves usually by fibrocartilage scar tissue that is not ideal for restoration of movement at a joint.

Given the number of blood vessels in the retina, why do you suppose that you are not able to see them normally
AysviL [449]

Answer:

You can't see the blood vessels themselves because vision depends on a process that makes it impossible to see things that are stationary with respect to the retina. Light receptors in the retina respond only to changes in light reaching them, not to a steady image.

Why does transcription occur in the nucleus and not in the cytoplasm in eukaryotes?

The mRNA is then used to generate proteins by a process called translation which occurs in the cytoplasm. Transcription occurs in the nucleus because DNA cannot leave the nucleus.

Red-green color blindness is inherited as an X-linked recessive (Xc). If a color-blind man marries a woman who is heterozygous f
skad [1K]

Answer:

25% colorblind daughter: 25% colorblind son: 25% carrier daughters with normal vision: 25% normal son.

Explanation:

The genotype of a color-blind man is X^cY and the genotype of the heterozygous carrier female is X^cX. A cross between X^cY and X^cX would produce a progeny in following ratio=  

25% colorblind daughter: 25% colorblind son: 25% carrier daughters with normal vision: 25% normal son.

Therefore, the couple is likely to have 50% normal son and 50% affected son. Likewise, the couple is likely to have 50% normal daughters and 50% colorblind daughters.
