Answer:
c) The presence of an ephiphyseal line
Explanation:
The options should be:
a) the presence of osteoblasts
b) the presence of osteons
c) The presence of an ephiphyseal line
d) the presence of hyaline cartilage on the ends of the bone
Explanation:
In vertebrates, the epiphyseal line is formed once the bone is completely grown. This occurs inside a plate known as the epiphyseal plate.
From the age of 18 to 21, the bone stops growing and the cartilage inside this plate gets replaced by bone. However, bones can keep growing in width until we are approximately 25 years old.
Therefore, the physical sign that indicates that a bone cannot continue longitudinal growth would be the presence of an ephiphyseal line.
Answer:
Transmission of genetic information from parent to offspring is termed vertical gene transfer. Lateral movement, or movement of genetic information from a donor to an unrelated recipient, is called horizontal gene transfer.

Answer:
1. the DNA of which has been modified using genetic engineering methods. In most cases, the aim is to introduce a new trait to the plant which does not occur naturally in the species.
2. GM crops are made through a process known as genetic engineering. Genes of commercial interest are transferred from one organism to another. Two primary methods currently exist for introducing transgenes into plant genomes. The first involves a device called a 'gene gun'.
3. Crops do not damage the environment simply because they are GM. Some farming practices, such as the overuse of herbicides resulting in the excessive eradication of wild plants from farmland have been shown to harm the environment. These problems are similar for non-GM and GM crops.
Plants maintain homeostasis by keeping their stomata open just enough to allow photosynthesis to take place but not so much that they lose an excessive amount of water.
When plant cells use the food they make, the cells respire, taking in oxygen and giving off carbon dioxide.
