What is the fibrous covering on the surface of bone that is involved in thickening of the bone called?

sammy [17]4 years ago

The fibrous covering on the surface of bone that is involved in thickening of the bone is called periosteum.
This covering layers over every bone in our body, except for surfaces of the joints, which need to be more flexible and movable than the rest of the bones. It is a very thin membrane and protects your bones and your entire body from any type of injury as much as it can.

​what does the increase in incidents of polar bears visiting human settlements indicate
snow_lady [41]
The correct answer is "limited prey is driving the bears to seek food in human settlements".
Due to the warming of the Arctic waters, the ice is melting, resulting in a serious decline of floating winter ice. Polar bears need these floating parts of ice to hunt, therefore this new situation limits the hunting opportunities of the bears. That is why polar bears are driven to human settlements to look for food.

Why does DNA need to replicate before cells divide?
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

Below:

Explanation:

Replication is an essential process because, whenever a cell divides, the two new daughter cells must contain the same genetic information, or DNA, as the parent cell. ... Once the DNA in a cell is replicated, the cell can divide into two cells, each of which has an identical copy of the original DNA.

Predict what the calf produced in a union between each of these parents might look like. Explain your answers.
Charra [1.4K]
We know that purebred means that the organism contains the same alleles for the trait and hybrid means that it contains two different alleles for the trait. Dominant means that it will be shown in a hybrid and a purebred, but recessive traits will only be shown in purebred recessive organisms.

a) The offspring of a purebred white (recessive) cow and a purebred brown (dominant) bull, would be all hybrid brown (dominant). This is because as I stated above, dominant traits are shown when the offspring has both dominant and recessive alleles for the same trait.

b) The offspring of a purebred brown (dominant) cow and a purebred brown (dominant) bull would all be purebred brown (dominant). This is because if both of the parents have only alleles that code for brown color, the only color that the offspring can be is brown.

c) The offspring of a purebred white (recessive) cow and a purebred white (recessive ) bull would all be purebred white (recessive), for the same reason stated above in part b), the only difference being that the alleles are recessive and code for white color instead of being dominant and coding for brown color.

d) The offspring of a hybrid brown (dominant) cow and a purebred white (recessive) bull would be half hybrid brown (dominant) and half purebred white (recessive). This can be seen best if you set up a Punnett Square, which is a diagram that shows allele frequencies in offspring. This shows you that the chance that the offspring get the dominant allele from the mother cow is 50%, thus 50% would be hybrid brown (dominant), as the father can contribute only a recessive white allele. The other 50% would be purebred white (recessive) because the mother cow would be contributing a white allele and so would the father.

Hope this helps! :)
