Chapter 35.4, Problem 15SAQ
Summary Introduction

To label:

A limb bone, such as the tibia and to show the regions of articular cartilage, spongy trabecular bone, compact bone tissue, and the marrow cavity.

Introduction:

The long bone consists of two parts: diaphysis and epiphysis. The epiphysis is the wider region at the ends of the bone, whereas, the shaft like structure residing between the two ends of the bone is called diaphysis.

BIOLOGY: HOW LIFE WORKS (HC+LAUNCHPAD), Chapter 35.4, Problem 15SAQ

Fig.1: The parts of the tibia bone.

The outer layer of the bone is referred to as the compact bone. It is composed of the dense tissues (osteocytes). The inside of the bone is composed of same osteocytes, but they are not arranged in an organized manner as in the compact tissue. This results in the spongy trabecular tissue.

The periosteum is the fibrous membrane that covers the outer region of the bone. This membrane has the important nerve cells and the blood vessels that supply nutrition to the compact bone. The ligaments and the tendons are attached to the periosteum of the bone. The periosteum is not present at the region of the epiphysis (linkage of bones to bones). The area at which the periosteum is absent, the articular cartilage is present, which provides resistance to friction.

The marrow content is present in the void space of the diaphysis of the bone. The marrow cavity has a thin layer of endosteum. The growth, repairing and fixing of bones takes place in endosteum.

Conclusion

The structure of bone includes marrow cavity, trabecular tissue, articular cartilage, and compact bone. The bone is divided into two parts epiphysis and diaphysis.

Question #3: In the KeyGene paper, the authors state that it would be useful if pollen from an apomict would transmit apomixis-inducing genes to the female in the cross (assuming the pollen is viable). Assuming there was just one gene conferring gametophytic obligate apomixis, and that the two parents are inbreds, what would be the consequences of such a cross if: a) The apomixis was a dominant trait? Indicate the genotypes and phenotypes (apomict or non- apomict) of the parents, F1 and F2 generations. Remember to include the expected genotypic and phenotypic ratios (or percentages) in the F1 and F2 generations, and to position the female first (left side) in the parental cross. b) The apomixis was a recessive trait? Indicate the genotypes and phenotypes (apomict or non- apomict) of the parents, F1 and F2 generations. Remember to include the expected genotypic and phenotypic ratios (or percentages) in the F1 and F2 generations, and to position the female first (left side) in the…
Question #5: Assume that two genes are identified that confer gametophytic facultative apomixis in soybean. The genes show independent assortment. Recessive alleles at both loci are required for the facultative apomixis. Facultative apomixis is triggered when the temperature at pollination is above 20 degrees C. At temperatures below 20 degrees C, all reproduction is sexual, independent of genotype. A facultative apomict male, capable of producing viable pollen, was crossed with a sexually reproducing female. Assuming the parents are completely inbred, what are the predicted phenotypic ratios (apomict: non-apomict) for the F1, F2, and DH (F1-derived) generations at each of the following temperatures*: a) 15°C? b) 25°C? *for full credit, show crosses and genotypes where appropriate. Remember to position the female first (left side) in the cross. Type your answer here:
