The correct answer is B. Preventing friction between bones

Explanation:

Cartilage is a soft, and elastic tissue that protects the end of bones in articulations; although this tissue also forms structures such as the ear. In the case of cartilage in bones, the main function of this is to act as a protector for the bones by reducing the friction between them. For example, cartilage is found in the joints. This is necessary because bones are hard structures and direct friction between them would lead to deterioration of the bones. According to this, the main function of cartilage is preventing friction between bones.

For fertilization to occur in humans, only one sperm is needed to weaken the barrier that surrounds the egg.
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Approximately 200 out of 200 million sperms ejaculated during intercourse reach the general vicinity of the egg.  They sperms must undergo capacitation during which dilute inhibitory factors fluids of the female reproductive tract weaken the membrane of the sperm head so that head of the sperm can be broken easily when it came in contact with the egg.

The first sperm to reach an egg isn’t the one to fertilize it because the egg is surrounded by a gelatinous membrane called the zona pellucida. Outside this layer, a layer of small granulosa cells also present.

Therefore, it requires numerous sperm to clear a path through these barriers before one of them can penetrate the egg and fertilize it.
