Explanation:

1 Genes are contained in chromosomes, which are in the cell nucleus.

2 Sometimes, gene variants (also known as mutations) prevent one or more proteins from working properly. By changing a gene's instructions for making a protein, a variant can cause a protein to malfunction or to not be produced at all.

The method may be easily applied in order to obtain additional information for clinical prescriptions from. By new method, we could easily distinguish gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria in liquid culture media within 10 min. This modest and fast technique may be beneficial for determining the treatment course of patients with UTIs, particularly for those without a prior history of UTIs.

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

A.) The sexual phase can produce variations within the species

You strip off all proteins on the cell surface by using a protease (an enzyme that destroys proteins). Now, when you add a speci
Flura [38]

Answer:

This is because the receptor is in the interior of the cell

Explanation:

When a specific signaling molecule is added to a cell whose cell surface has been stripped off by proteins the cell still responds because the receptor is in the interior of the cell.

Receptors  are divided into two categories which are;

  • Intracellular receptors or internal receptors which are found in the cytoplasm or nucleus of the cell. They respond to hydrophobic ligand molecules which are able to travel across the plasma membrane
  • Cell surface receptors which are found in the plasma membrane

Signalling molecules are necessary for the coordination of cellular responses by serving as ligands and binding to cell receptors.

A type of signaling molecule are the small hydrophobic ligands which can directly diffuse through the plasma membrane and interact with internal receptors unlike the water soluble ligands. This is why the cell still responds after you strip off all proteins on the cell surface.

NOTE: Nitric oxide (NO) is a gas that also acts as a ligand, therefore it can pass through the plasma membrane of the cell and interact with receptors.
