Answer:

Menisci are the semi-lunar fibrous cartilage of the knee which could be either medial meniscus or radial meniscus. The meniscus in humans is present in the joints of the knee, sternoclavicular joints, wrist and temporomandibular joints.

These menisci play important roles in these joints as they reduce the friction caused by the bones during movement. They also disperse the weight of the body of the humans as they spread the load of the weight of the body to different bones like the femur and tibia.

Which of the following phrases best describes the function of meiosis?

tiny-mole [99]

Answer: C.) Produces genetically unique haploid cells

Explanation: Meiosis will produce genetically unique cells because they are meant to pass onto offspring, and they are haploid because there are half the number of chromosomes in them. The organism will receive 2 sets, one from each parent, so that is why each parent who's cells undergo meiosis have to produce haploid cells.
