Why does compact bone have canaliculi, but spongy bone does not?

Biology
1 answer:
stich3 [128]3 years ago
4 0
Canaliculi are tiny canals in bone between osteocytes containing osteocyte cell processes. A spongy bone, also known as a cancellous bone, is a bone with latticelike appearance. A compact bone is a bone that is denser and has fewer spaces than cancellous bone. A compact bone has canaliculi but the spongy bone doesn't, because compact bone tissues form the outer layer of the bone while the cancellous bone tissues form the inner layer of the bone and it does not have osteons. Anosteon is a single central canal, with its contents, and the associated lamellae and osteocytes surrounding it.

A scientist wants to determine whether a mutant phenotype is due to the loss of gene C or gene D, which are both deleted in a mu
klio [65]

Answer:

a transgenic copy of the gene C is sufficient to restore normal eye development

Explanation:

In genetics, there are diverse approaches to determining a gene's function. For example, it is possible to use a complementation test to determine loss-of-function recessive mutations when it is unknown if such mutations fall in the same or in different genes. Similarly to the generation of loss-of-function phenotypes, it is possible to insert a gene and thus produce a gain-of-function mutation that restores normal gene function (i.e., to restore the wild phenotype). Moreover, transgenic organisms refer to genetic engineering techniques by which any foreign or modified gene is inserted in the genome of an organism, which can also be used to study gene function. In this case, the restoration of the normal phenotype (wild-type eyes) is associated with the expression of the transgenic gene C, thereby evidencing that the gene C is required for normal eye development. In the last years, transgenic models have shed light on developmental pathways and on gene function.
