The answer is no, fibrocartilage cannot provide articular surface as smooth as the original hyaline cartilage.

This is because these two cartilages are different in composition (structure) and thus provide  slightly different function.

Fibrocartilage is stiff and contains many collagen fibers type I and II, while hyaline cartilage is a soft cartilage that contains collage fibers type I. Fibrocartilage contains only few chondrocytes in lacunae, while hyaline cartilage has large number of them. As a result, fibrocartilage provide a restricted mobility, while hyaline cartilage enables smooth movements.

Fruit color in a particular plant is controlled by a set of three quantitative traits that work in an equal and additive manner.
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

7

Explanation:

The number of distinct shades of fruit color would be 7. It is given that the color is dominated by a group of three QTL(quantitative traits) with each trait having two alleles(A,a). Out of these two alleles, one represented by a capital letter(A) generates a single dose of yellow pigment while the latter represented by a smaller case letter(a) does not generate any pigment. Since <u>there is no environmental effect, the number of various yellow shades would be 7 through the combinations of yellow and colorless pigments(A/a, A/a, A/a, A)</u>.
