The correct answer is option B, that is, many canaliculi.
The fundamental unit of a compact bone is an osteon that is also called a Haversian system. The Haversian system exhibits a cylindrical composition, which comprises of four components, that is, the Haversian canal, lamellae, lacunae, and canaliculi.
The lacunae are associated together with the help of minute channels known as canaliculi. The canaliculi offer passages through which nutrients can reach the osteocytes and waste components can leave them.
Answer:
Diffusion. ... Diffusion is the movement of molecules from a region of higher concentration to one of lower concentration. This movement occurs because the molecules are constantly colliding with one another. The net movement of the molecules is away from the region of high concentration to the region of low concentration.
Explanation:
Answer:
A,B,C,D
Explanation:
Since one parent is CC, there is no way to get cc as an outcome from this cross. However, there is also no way that all of the offspring will be CcDd, which is heterozygous for both traits. Therefore, this is the only answer choice that is incorrect.
Answer:
The sickle-cell gene.
Explanation:
The sickle cell mutation is in the gene encoding the β subunit. The sickle cell gene is located on the short arm (p) of chromosome 11, at position 15.5. Sickle cell anemia is a genopathy caused by a single mutation that results in the substitution of an amino acid in the β chains of the tetrameric protein hemoglobin. It characterized by the presence of sickle cells in the bloodstream, which are red cells or sickle-shaped erythrocytes. This form causes difficulty in the circulation of red blood cells. Confirmation of sickle cell anemia is obtained through tests that determine the presence and relative amount of hemoglobin S in a blood sample, that is, by checking the phenomenon of sickle cell disease, in a drop of blood between the slide and covers objects, or the presence of hemoglobin S by means of electrophoresis.
