Answer:

The correct option is d). The process is called interstitial growth.

Explanation:

The cartilage is composed of chondrocytes, which are located in small spaces called lacunae. Its function is to synthesize the extracellular matrix of cartilage. Its growth occurs through two processes: appositional growth and interstitial growth. When chondrocytes in lacunae divide and form new matrix, it leads to an expansion of the cartilage tissue from within, the process is known as interstitial growth, this happens because the young chondrocytes divide mitotically, forming a group called isogenous, while forming the matrix, each one separates, creating its own lacunae. As a result of the increase of chondrocytes and the secretion of the new intercellular matrix, it causes the cartilage to grow (expand) from within.

Answer:

The correct answer is B. clavicle articulates with the manubrium of the sternum.

Explanation:

The clavicle is an anterior bone whose sternal end articulates with the manubrium of the sternum at the sternoclavicular joint. The sternal end is also anchored to the first rib by the costoclavicular ligament. The medial end, also known as the sternal end of the clavicle, has a triangular shape and articulates with the manubrium portion of the sternum. This forms the sternoclavicular joint, which is the only bony articulation between the pectoral girdle of the upper limb and the axial skeleton.

Anarel [89]

Answer:

This question lacks options, the options are:

A) symbiosis

B) ecosystem

C) community

D) population

E) biosphere

The answer is D) Population

Explanation:

Living organisms in an ecosystem are usually found in numbers living together in a given area. This is termed POPULATION in ecology. A population refers to the group of living organisms that belongs to the same species living together in the same habitat and have the ability to interbreed i.e. mate and reproduce with one another.

This is the case in this question where many sandhill cranes (large flying birds) were observed in a particular area, which represented their habitat. Asides the group of sandhill cranes living together, they were also observed to be interbreeding. This was evident in the observation of two sandhill cranes hopping up and down around their bright orange baby. This shows that members of the population are capable of mating and reproducing fertile offsprings.

This observation completes what a POPULATION is all about, hence, a population was observed.
