Joint cavities are spaces in between the bones that make up a joint. Fibrous and cartilaginous joints naturally have cavities in them. The cavities are encapsulated by articular cartilage and synovial membrane. So, fibrous and cartilaginous joints would be able to perform their functions if they had joint cavities.

The joint cavities are composed of two bones covered by the hyaline cartilage. The joint cavities allow for the movement of the two articulated bones. The fibrous and the cartilaginous bones have no joint cavities as they require little to no movement. These joints are connected tightly by the cartilage, such as in the spinal column. if the joint cavities were present in these joints, then these structures will not be held tightly and hence, they could not perform their function well.

Hence, the answer is 'the fibrous and cartilaginous joints will not be able to perform their function if they had joint cavities'.

Answer:

Part A: The process of sexual reproduction is important because by this process organisms with varied genetic characteristics can be formed. Crossing over and independent assortment allow individuals to be born which are not alike to another and their parents. As a result, genetic diversity is produced.

Part B:

The process 1 is meiosis. The process 3 is development by mitosis.

The reproductive organs form sperm and egg by the process of meiosis. During this process, the number of chromosomes is reduced so that the number of chromosomes of an individual can be maintained.

The zygote converts into an embryo in a process called germinal development. The zygote replicates by mitosis to form into an embryo.

In the six kingdom classification system bacteria are divided into two kingdoms

Pavel [41]

In the six kingdom classification system bacteria are divided into two kingdoms which are known as Archaebacteria and Eubacteria. The archaebacteria are organisms that can dwell in hostile environments like deep sea vents, hot springs, and salt water; while Eubacteria include organisms that can be harmful to humans because they cause certain kinds of diseases like step-throat and botulism.

Which of the following does NOT occur during mitosis? a) Centromeres split, b) chromosomes replicate, or c) spindles form?

Andreyy89

The answer is b) chromosomes replicate

DNA replication occurs before mitosis. So, duplicated chromosomes are already present in mitosis. They are connected by centromeres. During different phases of mitosis, spindles are formed and pull chromosomes toward the opposite poles of the cell so centromeres must split.

in an organism a muscle cell has the same DNA as a nerve cell yet the cells perform different functions this is possible

Darina [25.2K]

This is possible by having different stem cells for different types of cells which then have different genes activated to make cells different
