The mandible develops in the same area as which cartilage?

  1. Meckel's

  2. Hyaline

  3. Elastic

  4. Fibrocartilage

The correct answer is: Meckel's

The mandible develops in the same area as Meckel's cartilage, which is a precursor to the mandible in embryonic development. Hyaline, elastic, and fibrocartilage are all different types of cartilage found in various parts of the body, but they do not specifically develop into the mandible like Meckel's cartilage does. Therefore, they are not the correct answer to the question.
