The statement above is TRUE.
The osteon is the fundamental functional unit of a compact bone. Osteons are roughly cylindrical in shape and they are typically several millimetre long and about 0.2mm in diameter. The osteon resembles the growth ring of a tree trunk.
The cylindrical structure of osteon is made up of four different parts which are a central tube, a lamellae, a lacunae and canaliculi.

A true-breeding plant with inflated pods and yellow pods is crossed with a plant that has constricted and yellow pods. Draw a

xenn [34]

Answer: Sysy × Sysy i.e. all are genotypically heterozygous, inflated, and yellow

Explanation:

Punnett squares are a diagrammatic means of determining traits of hybrid offspring produced via crosses in genetic breeding. The parental genotypes and phenotypes are usually known, and these typically follow standard Mendelian ratios and inheritance.

Mendelian genetics focus on trait inheritance, or heritability. These traits are packaged out into its own gamete, inherited by themselves and often show dominance, where one's effect may mask those of another trait.

These are called the Law of Segregation, Independent assortment and Dominance respectively.

For this cross...

Parent generation or P generation:

gametes: Y → pod color green dominant (Y), yellow recessive (y)

S→ pod size; inflated dominant (S), constricted recessive (c)

Assumptions...

True breeding plants are homozygous, with identical sets of alleles
The other parent is heterozygous, as it was not said to breed true

P generation: SySy × sysy

yellow, inflated × yellow, constricted

F1 generation: Sysy × Sysy ...(from punnet square)

phenotype: yellow, inflated × yellow, inflated

∴ all are genotypically heterozygous, inflated, and yellow
