The number of major histocompatibility (MHC) protein combinations possible in a given population is enormous. However, an indivi
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

The correct answer is "each of the MHC genes has a large number of alleles, but each individual only inherits two for each gene".

Explanation:

In normal conditions, an individual has only two different alleles for a given gene: one inherited from his mother and the other from his father. However, this does not mean that among humans, there are only two different alleles for each gene. The major histocompatibility (MHC) genes are a clear example of this, since there are multiple combinations for each MHC class. For instance, there are 40 very similar alleles only for the HLA-B27 subtype.

Patches of fibrocartilage formed in the healing of a fracture are called __________, whereas the bony collar formed around the f
SashulF [63]

Answer:

Patches of fibrocartilage formed in the healing of a fracture are called <u>soft callus</u>, whereas the bony collar formed around the fracture is called <u>hard callus</u>.

Explanation:

In the fibrocartilage or soft bone callus phase, the necrotic bone is removed by osteoclastia and dead soft tissues are being removed by macrophages. The fibroblasts are activated and a granulation tissue is generated that supposes the appearance of new vessels and, with them, the arrival of more connective tissue cells. A tissue called fibrous callus or fibrocartilage begins to form, composed of a poorly structured amalgam of fibrous tissue, cartilage, and amorphous bone.In hard callus, bone and later cartilage are deposited in the growing historical mass. The two collars of callus,  fixed to the bone at some distance from the fracture, they grow upwards and towards each other, forming an arc  on focus.
