In what way does healing of cartilage occur in adults (a person who has stopped growing)

Biology
1 answer:
Elden [556K]3 years ago
5 0

In the adults, the growth rate slows with age. The healing mechanism of the different cells if damaged is different than that of the younger ones. If a cartilage is damage in the adults, the chondrocytes which are still surviving secrete more extracellular matrix in order to heal the damaged cartilage. The chondrocytes cells are present in the cartilage, and they function to maintain the cellular matrix of the cartilage.

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

Phenotypic plasticity

Explanation:

Humans have evolved over thousands of years to adapt to various environmental changes. For example, when we are in an environment that requires certain level of adaptation our off spring often formalizes epigenetic traits that lows them to overcome small changes in the environment. Over time certain genes that are turned on may remain on and eventually the ones that are off remains off. This give rise to some genes that "don't work"  after millions of years of such evolution we end up with a complex genome with more DNA than "working genes".

Sergio039 [100]

In this cross the trait of long tail fins is associated with the “Y” chromosome of the male.  

Thus the alleles  of the male are represented by XY” where X chromosome has no trait of long tails find  

And the allels of the female are represented by XX, as they do not have long tail fins.  

When these two are crossed , the following punnet square is produced

X     Y”

X X X    X Y”

X X X     X Y”

The XX is the female while the XY” is the male offspring.
