Biology Question on Animal Tissues
Given below are two statements:
Statement I: Ligaments are dense irregular tissue.
Statement II: Cartilage is dense regular tissue.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Both Statement I and Statement II are false.
Statement I is true but Statement II is false
Statement I is false but Statement II is true
Both Statement I and Statement II are true
Both Statement I and Statement II are false.
Solution
Statement I is false - Ligaments are not dense irregular tissue. Ligaments are dense regular connective tissue that connects bone to bone and provides strength and stability to joints.
Statement II is false - Cartilage is not dense regular tissue. Cartilage is a type of connective tissue that is more flexible than bone and provides structural support to various body parts.
Ligaments are dense regular connective tissue while cartilage are specialised connective tissue.
Therefore, the correct option is (A): Both Statement I and Statement II are false.
