Evolution is caused by genetic mutations that become favorable for survival.

For example if a bird has a mutation that gives it a longer beak and it lives in an environment in which a longer beak lets the bird catch more food- the longer beak becomes a favorable trait.

Now the bird is able to survive “better” thus it lives longer(due to its ability to catch more food). Because of this it reproduces more and passes the trait on to its offspring.
Overtime this mutation takes over the population of birds in the area.

What type of joint is represented by the epiphyseal plate in the long bones of young children?a. Cartilaginous symphysis b. Fibr

Andrej [43]

Answer:

D) Cartilaginous synchondrosis

Explanation:

Cartilaginous synchondrosis is a joint in which the bones are joined to the hyaline cartilage or the hyaline cartilage joins the bones.

The synchondrosis is of two types- the temporary and permanent synchondrosis in which the temporary synchondrosis represents the growth plate or epiphyseal plate of the hyaline cartilage which connects the shaft of the bones to the end of the bone.

The thickness of the epiphyseal plate in the children does not change as the bone lengthens.

Thus, D) Cartilaginous synchondrosis is the correct answer.
