Large opening in a sponge through which water flows out of the sponge. There can be more than one osculum in them while ostia are a series of tiny pores which are present all over the body of a sponge.

Further explanation

Sponge

They are multicellular, heterotrophic organisms which belongs to phylum porifera. There are three types of sponges which are syconoid, asconoid, and leuconoid.

Osculum

It is an excretory structure in the living sponge, a huge opening to the outside through which flow of water exits in the wake of going through the spongocoel. Waste material diffuses into the water and the water is siphoned through the osculum. Sponge siphon pumps huge volumes of water; all in all, a volume of water equivalent to the wipe's body size is siphoned at regular intervals. The size of the osculum is controlled by contractile myocytes. Its size is one of the elements which decides the measure of water moving through the sponge. It tends to be shut totally in light of overabundance residue in the water.

Ostia

They are present in the form of pores on the body of sponge and a single pore is called osteum.

Cells will usually divide if they receive the proper signal at a checkpoint in which phase of the cell cycle? see concept 12.3 (

NeTakaya

The correct answer is the interphase.

The cell cycle consists of three phases: the interphase (G1, S, G2) the mitotic (M) phase, and cytokinesis. The first checkpoint of the cell cycle is G1 checkpoint which is between G1 and S phase when cell checks its size, nutrients, molecular signals, DNA integrity. The second checkpoint is G2, just before the mitotic phase, when cell checks DNA integrity and DNA replication. Those two checkpoints are the ones before division, other like M checkpoint is during the mitosis.

Answer:

The trait is Y-linked

Explanation:

The only plausible explanation behind the inheritance pattern shown by the porcupine trait is that it is Y-linked.

Y-linked traits are limited to the Y chromosome only, a sex chromosome that is peculiar to only the male gender. Chromosomally, females are XX while males are XY. Hence, only the male gender has the genetic capacity to inherit the porcupine trait. This is why only the sons of Edward Lambert, and never the daughters, exhibited the trait.
