What would happen to an egg that had a nonfunctional chorion?
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

a. The embryo would suffocate or dehydrate.

Explanation:

Chorion is one of the four extraembryonic membranes that cover the embryo inside the egg. Chorion develops into the part of placenta-derived from the fetus.

Trophoblast develops into chorion during pre-embryonic development. Once formed, the chorion develops villi that are required for the exchange of material, specifically the respiratory gases, between the mother and fetus.

If an egg had nonfunctional chorion, the developing embryo will not get the supply of gases. In the absence of gas exchange between mother and embryo, the embryo will die of suffocation.

Chorion is also involved in the development of the placenta which in turn is the organ of the exchange of nutrients and gases and removal of toxic material.

Nonfunctional chorion would not support the placenta formation and the embryo will not get the supply of nutrients and water.

The knee ________.
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

The correct answer is: C) has ligaments present inside as well as surrounding the articular capsule.

Explanation:

<u>The knee joint is a hinge (ginglymus) type synovial joint</u> that is formed by three different bones: the femur, the tibia, and the patella.

Given the nature of the hinge joint, it should only allow flexion and extension, but it also grants a small degree of internal and external rotation. For this reason, the knee joint cannot be considered a multiaxial joint, since it only fully moves in one axis and slightly moves in a second one (this is why most people consider the knee joint a uniaxial joint, but some others say it is actually a <u>biaxial one</u>).

The knee joint isn't completely enclosed by a strong articular capsule. The knee joint is rather thin and it contains the patella, menisci, bursae, and ligaments of the knee.

The knee is not the simplest joint in the body. It is formed by three bones and there's also the menisci, which are fibrocartilaginous structures that help increase the stability of the joint and act as shock absorbers as well.

The knee does have ligaments both inside and outside the articular capsule. The intracapsular ligaments are two cruciate ligaments (one anterior and one posterior), which hold the tibia in place; the transverse ligament that connects both menisci; and the posterior and anterior meniscofemoral ligaments. The extracapsular ligaments are the patellar ligaments (connects the patella to the tibia), the two collateral ligaments (medial and fibular, one on each side of the knee, connecting the femur to the tibia and to the fibula, respectively), and the anterolateral ligament.

When examining cells in the laboratory, you notice that a particular cell has half as much DNA as the surrounding cells. It appe
kow [346]

Answer:

G1 checkpoint

Explanation:

The cell cycle consists of the series of activities that occurs from the replication of DNA to the actual division of the cell in an organism's cell. However, the cell has been internally programmed to ensure that all conditions are in place/favorable before allowing progression into the next stage of the cell cycle. This internally controlled mechanism ia called CHECKPOINTS. This checkpoint occurs at three main stages of the cell cycle;

after G1 phase, G2 phase and during M phase.

In the G1 checkpoint, the cell ensures that the cell is in the right shape to proceed into the Synthesis phase of the cell cycle where it will double it's DNA. The checkpoint checks majorly for damage or change to the DNA before replicating it. If any error is found, that cell is halted and prevented from proceeding to the S-phase of the cell cycle.

This is the case in the question, the cell has been halted and prevented from entering the S-phase. Hence, its DNA is still the same as it started. However, the DNA of the cells surrounding it has been doubled as they have undergone DNA replication during S-phase.
