Answer:

Cartilage has a flexible matrix that can accommodate mitosis of chondrocytes. True

Explanation:

Cartilage is a tissue, and there can be three different types: fibrous, hyaline and elastic. The cells in each one are in different positions and all theses types can be found in different parts of the body. The cartilage's matrix is made up of glycosaminoglycans, proteoglycans, collagen fibers and, sometimes, elastin. The chondrocytes are specialized cells that produce collagenous extracellular matrix, abundant ground substance that is rich in proteoglycan and elastin fibers.
