Answer:

a. osteoblasts

b. osteoid

Explanation:

Osteoblasts are the fundamental cell of bone tissue. They are the cells that synthesize the bone matrix called osteoid from which it is made from the skeleton of bone fish, to the skeleton of humans. Since the bone skeleton is an evolutionary paraphiletic characteristic (it is present in several taxonomic groups that have evolved from the same ancestor).

Osteoblasts are responsible for the development and growth of bones during the juvenile stage of individuals and are also responsible for maintaining adult bone and regenerating bone when it breaks.

Osteogenesis is the process of differentiation of osteoblasts. The cells from which osteoblasts differ are called osteoprogenitors. The differentiation of osteoprogenitor cells, which come from the mesoderm, periosteum or bone marrow, is induced by growth factors called bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), capable of inducing the growth of bone, cartilage or connective tissue. When an osteoprogenitor cell receives a BMP signal, it quickly begins to express the genes to generate collagen, osteonectin and alkaline phosphatase, among other compounds necessary for bone growth. When the bone grows, it ends up wrapping some of the osteoblasts and they lose their ability to replicate, at that time they are dedicated to bone maintenance and not to their synthesis and are called osteocytes.

serg [7]

Natural Selection is when traits are "naturally" selected for, because "survival of the fitttest."  Example would be a species becoming bigger over time, because the smaller animals of that species were more likely to be eaten by predators.  Natural selection is when the "best" trats are passed down due to chance

Selective breeding is if an outside forece (like a dog breeder) "chooses" a triat to be passed down.  Example, instead of breeding a brown dog with a white dog, the breeder breeds two black dogs together in orer for the litter to all have black fur

15. Some Lampreys
erma4kov [3.2K]

Some Lampreys are anadromous from their lake and they migrate up rivers to spawn.

Explanation:

If the adult fish live in the sea and migrate into fresh water to spawn is known as anadromous and if the adult fish live in fresh water and migrate into salt water to spawn is known as catadromous.

An anadromous fish like salmon, smelt,shad spends most of their life in the sea and returns to fresh water to spawn. A catadromous fish like eels lives in fresh water and enters salt water to spawn.

Sea lamprey brings nutrients into fresh water and provide a source of food for various birds, fish, mammals and people. The newly transformed  lamprey can live only for few months in fresh water .

The females deposit a large number of eggs in nest made by males in the streams with strong current. Spawning is done by death of the adults

(03.05 MC)<br> In which of the following ways is DNA replication similar to transcription?
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer: <u>D.  Thymine is used in replication while uracil is used in transcription.</u>

Explanation:

Genetic information is stored in double-helixes of DNA molecules (Doxyribonuclease). In replication, two daughter strands of DNA are copied from the parent strand, while in replication, instructions stored within DNA are copied into a different form, called mRNA  or messenger RNA.

Nucleotides are monomers comprising DNA, a nucleic acid that along with RNA, a ribose sugar-containing nucleotide, acts as a storage molecule to encode proteins. 5-carbon deoxyribose or ribose sugar, phosphate and one of four nitrogen bases are found in nucleotides:

Adenine (A)

Guanine (G)

Cytosine (C)

Thymine (T).  

Uracil (U) found in RNA

While <em>both contain four nucleotide bases, </em> in RNA, uracil replaces thymine... The DNA nucleotides are involved in replication while RNA nucleotides drive transcription,
