A) The beaks changed so they could eat different foods.
B) The beaks of each finch species were the result of natural selection.

Bone formation begins when ____________ secrete the initial semisolid organic form of bone matrix called ____________ .
butalik [34]

Answer:

a. osteoblasts

b. osteoid

Explanation:

Osteoblasts are the fundamental cell of bone tissue. They are the cells that synthesize the bone matrix called osteoid from which it is made from the skeleton of bone fish, to the skeleton of humans. Since the bone skeleton is an evolutionary paraphiletic characteristic (it is present in several taxonomic groups that have evolved from the same ancestor).

Osteoblasts are responsible for the development and growth of bones during the juvenile stage of individuals and are also responsible for maintaining adult bone and regenerating bone when it breaks.

Osteogenesis is the process of differentiation of osteoblasts. The cells from which osteoblasts differ are called osteoprogenitors. The differentiation of osteoprogenitor cells, which come from the mesoderm, periosteum or bone marrow, is induced by growth factors called bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), capable of inducing the growth of bone, cartilage or connective tissue. When an osteoprogenitor cell receives a BMP signal, it quickly begins to express the genes to generate collagen, osteonectin and alkaline phosphatase, among other compounds necessary for bone growth. When the bone grows, it ends up wrapping some of the osteoblasts and they lose their ability to replicate, at that time they are dedicated to bone maintenance and not to their synthesis and are called osteocytes.

An advantage of a complete digestive system over a gastrovascular cavity is that the complete system _____.
azamat

Answer: Here is the complete sentence: An advantage of a ................................ is that the complete system HAVE SPECIALIZED REGIONS THAT PERFORM SPECIALIZED FUNCTIONS.

Explanation:

The digestive system is a set of organs that work together to break down food molecules into the forms that the body cells can absorb and use. The gastrovascular cavity is an organ of digestion and circulation in some primitive living organisms. Gastrovascular cavity is an unspeciallized organ with two openings, one of the opening is the mouth while the other one is the anus, through which wastes pass out of the body.

The major advantage of complete digestive system over gastrovascular cavity is that the digestive system comprise of specialized organs which perform specialized functions. For instance, the stomach is a specialized organ that is responsible for churning of food during digestion, it also perform other specialized functions.
