Answer:
Part of the extracellular matrix secreted by osteocytes. (Ans. B)
Explanation:
Cells which are present on bones are known as osteocytes. Bone is composed of extracellular matrix, and cells. There are three types of cells which are present in the bones:
1) Osteoprogenitor cells.
2) Osteoblast.
3) Osteocyte.
Extracellular matrix is composed of organic matrix consisting glycoproteins, proteoglycans, osteocalcin also known as calcium binding proteins, and osteonectin which anchors bone mineral to collagen.
There are four general conditions that must be met for natural selection to occur, these are: variation among organisms of the same species, large production of offspring, variation in individual fitness among members of the same species and variation in heredity. So from the question given above, the conditions that are required for natural selection are option A, B AND D.
