Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The connective tissues are of various types that include blood, bones and cartilage tissue. They form a layer or network of the fibrous tissue outside the cells namely osteocytes, osteoblasts in the bones, blood cells like white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets in the blood vessels and a matrix of cells in the cartilaginous tissue. The other cells in this tissue include the macrophages, mast cells, and fibroblasts. A layer of fibrous network of the connective tissue is present outside the layer of the cells in the matrix.

Answer to Problem 1TYU

Correct answer:

The connective tissue consists of several types of tissues like blood, bones and cartilaginous tissue. The cells include the osteocytes and osteoblasts inside the spongy tissue of the bones, blood cells like red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. A layer of fibrous material is present outside the matrix of these cells in the connective tissue. Therefore, option (B) is correct.

Explanation of Solution

Reason for the correct statement:

The connective tissue forms a network of fibrous tissue outside the matrix of the cells. The cells include the osteocytes and osteoblasts inside the spongy tissues of the bones and blood cells inside the blood vessels.

Option (B) is given as “connective tissue”.

As, there is a fibrous network of the connective tissue present outside the matrix of the cells containing osteocytes, osteoblasts and blood cells inside the blood vessels supplying nutrients and gases to this tissue”, it is the right answer.

Hence, option (B) is correct.

Reasons for the incorrect statements:

Option (A) is given as “epithelial tissue”.

The epithelial tissue forms the outer covering of the layers of cells in the digestive system and respiratory system. They help in the absorption of the food in the digestive system. It does not form a material outside the cells. So, it is a wrong answer.

Option (C) is given as “muscle”.

It is made up of protein fibers like actin and myosin, which help in the locomotion and movement of the body. It does not form a material outside the cells. So, it is a wrong answer.

Option (D) is given as “nervous tissue”.

The nervous tissue consists of the brain. It does not form a material outside the cells. So, it is a wrong answer.

Hence, options (A), (C), and (D) are incorrect.

Conclusion

The connective tissue forms a network of the fibrous material outside the cells of the matrix like osteoblasts and osteocytes in the bones, blood cells in the blood vessels and other cells like fibroblasts and macrophages.

Your goal is to produce black seeds resistant to mold. So you make the same cross again (between a homozygous black seeded, mold susceptible parent and a homozygous white seeded and mold resistant parent), and, again, advance progeny by SSD to create 100 F10 generation plants.   Based on the information you obtained from your first crossing experiment (Question #4), how many F10 plants would you expect to have black seeds and be resistant to mold? Assume that a toxin produced by the mold fungus has been isolated. Only mold resistant seeds will germinate in the presence of the toxin. Could you use this toxin screening procedure to have segregation distortion work in your favor in the F2 generation? Explain your answer. Info from Question 4 a. P Locus (Seed Color): Hypothesis: The null hypothesis (H₀) is that seed color is controlled by alleles at a single locus. Observed Data: Total white seeds: 45 (resistant plants) + 6 (susceptible plants) = 51 Total black seeds: 7 (resistant…

Using Punnett Squares Punnett squares are one good way to predict the outcome of genetic crosses. Punnett squares use mathematical probability to help predict the genotype and phenotype combinations in genetic crosses. The number of possible alleles from each parent determines the number of rows and columns in the Punnett square. Independent Assortment KEY QUESTION How do alleles segregate when more than one gene is involved? Mendel wondered if the segregation of one pair of alleles affects another pair. For example, does the gene that determines the shape of a seed affect the gene for seed color? This type of experiment is known as a two-factor, or dihybrid, cross because it involves two different genes. Single-gene crosses are monohybrid crosses. Visual Reading Tool: Two-Factor Cross: F₂ The Punnett square shows the results of self-crossing the F, generation of a cross between round yellow peas and wrinkled green peas. 1. List the different genotypes in the F, generation. What is the…
