Answer:

menisci

Explanation:

Some synovial joints such as that of knees have crescent-shaped pads. These pads are made up of fibrocartilage and are present between the articular surfaces of the bones. These cartilaginous pads are attached to the fibrous capsule and are called articular discs or menisci.  

The function of the menisci is to serve in shock absorption and minimize the wear and tear of the joint. Meniscus also allows the articulating bony surfaces to fit properly and facilitate an adaptable surface for combined movements. Meniscus serves to distribute the weight over a greater contact surface and thereby makes the joint stable. It also spreads the synovial lubricant across the articular surfaces of the joint.

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

3

Explanation:

Male ; EeHh

Female ; EeHh

Then,

possible gametes for each = EH / Eh / eH / eh

where,

                            EH                    Eh                   eH                    eh

EH                      EEHH               EEHh              EeHH               EeHh

                     <em>   One eye            One eye         One eye          One eye</em>

<em>                         One horn          One horn        One horn        One horn</em>

<em />

Eh                      EEHh                 EEhh               EeHh                Eehh

                       <em>One eye              </em><em>One eye</em><em>         One eye          </em><em>One eye</em><em> </em>

                        <em>One horn            </em><em>Two horn</em><em>       One horn         </em><em>Two horn</em>

eH                     EeHH                  EeHh              eeHH                eeHh

                        <em>One eye             One eye         </em><u><em>Two eye</em></u><em>          </em><u><em>Two eye </em></u>

                        <em>One horn            One horn        </em><u><em>One horn</em></u><em>        </em><u><em>One horn</em></u><em> </em>

eh                     EeHh                   Eehh                eeHh                eehh

                      <em>One eye              </em><em> One eye    </em><em>      </em><u><em>Two eye</em></u><em>          </em><u><em> Two eye </em></u>

<em>                       One horn              </em><em>Two horn </em><em>       </em><u><em>One horn</em></u><em>         </em><u><em>Two horn </em></u>

<u><em /></u>

Therefore,

One eye, one horn:One eye, two horn:<u>Two eye, one horn</u>:Two eye,two horn

is,

9 : 3 : <em><u>3 </u></em>: 1

This ration proves that the above working is correct and is dihybrid cross.
