<span>Similarities and differences between intramembranous and endochondral ossification<span>
Ossification is the process of bone formation. Intramembranous and endochondral ossification are the two main processes of bone formation that occur during fetal development.
</span>Similarities between intramembranous and endochondral ossification<span>; they turn cartilage into bones during bone formation and they both involve bone cells such as calcium, vascular supply and osteoblasts.
</span>Differences between intramembranous and endochondral ossification<span>; In intramembranous ossification, an intermediate cartilage is not involved, rather the bone tissue is directly laid on a primitive connective tissue called mesenchyma while in endochondral ossification, cartilage is used as a precursor for bone formation. Also, in cases of fractures, the healing process by plaster of Paris occurs through endochondral ossification while fractures which are treated by open reduction and internal fixation are healed by intramembranous ossification.

Answer: A. Phenotype
Explanation:
Phenotype: the set of observable characteristics of an individual resulting from the interaction of its genotype with the environment.
Genotypes produce phenotypes.
Turning amino acids into molecules that can be used in the Krebs cycle takes energy, which means that burning protein for fuel is not as efficient as burning carbohydrates. ... When amino acids are used as an energy source, it reduces the reserves of amino acids that are available for protein synthesis.
Determination of specific cells for certain functions changes resulting from induction the occurrence of mRNAs for the production of tissue-specific proteins changes in the size and shape of the cell cell.
Answer:
B. the appearance of lichens and mosses in an area where a glacier has recently melted away
Explanation:
Ecological succession, which refers to the series of changes that occurs over time in an ecosystem, can be of two types namely: primary succession and secondary succession.
Primary succession is a succession that involves an area where no form of life has grown previously, hence, the area of land is barren e.g bare rock. Primary succession is first colonized by species called PIONEER SPECIES e.g. lichens, mosses etc.
According to this question, "the appearance of lichens and mosses (pioneer species) in an area where a glacier has recently melted away" is an example of PRIMARY SUCCESSION.
