Answer: 75% probability that the child will not be a carrier.

If you were a house, a contractor who hired two sub-contractors to help work on the house would be most like which type of bone
GaryK [48]

Answer:

A contractor who hired two sub-contractors to help work on the house would be most like to osteoblast.

Explanation:

Osteoblasts are cells that build bone, just like contractors build a house. They are cells capable of synthesizing the bone matrix, allowing the formation and growth of bone.

As bone-forming cells, osteoblasts have a large number of mitochondria and a developed Golgi apparatus. They can multiply until they are covered by the bone matrix, becoming known as osteocytes.

The other options are not correct because:

  • <em>Osteogenic : related to bone.</em>
  • <em>Osteocycle : bone cell in its mature shape.</em>
  • <em>Osteococlast : cells capable of remodeling the bone, breaking it and allowing the action of the osteoblasts.</em>
