Full question:

Which description best identifies the unique attributes of connective tissue?.

A. Connective tissues, unlike other tissues, lack blood vessels and blood.

B. Connective tissues transmit signals from one part of the body to another.

C. Connective tissue is characterized by an extracellular matrix.

D. Connective tissues are hard and inflexible, whereas soft, flexible structures of the body are made up of other tissue types.

Solution:

Connective tissue is characterized by an extracellular matrix. Thus, the correct option is C.

An extracellular matrix distinguishes connective tissue. A histologist analyzes a tissue slide and notices a densely packed parallel network of fibers. Squeezed between the fibers, a few cells can be observed.

<h3>What is connective tissue?</h3>

Connective tissues are those tissue which help in support, protection, and structure. Additionally, connective tissue stores fat, aids in the movement of nutrients and other substances between tissues and organs, and aids in the repair of damaged tissue. Cells, fibers, and a gel-like material make up connective tissue.

Extracellular macromolecules and minerals, includes as collagen, enzymes, glycoproteins, and hydroxyapatite, make up the extracellular matrix (ECM), a three-dimensional network that provides structural and biochemical support to surrounding cells.

Jenner's successful use of cowpox virus as a vaccine against the smallpox virus was due to the fact that ______. (A) the cowpox

irinina [24]

Answer: option C) cowpox and smallpox are caused by the same virus

Explanation:

Cowpox is a skin disease that affects cattle. It is caused by an Orthopoxvirus, with lesions occurring principally on the udder and teats of the animals.

Human infection may occur from touching infected cows, and thus giving immunity to smallpox (an acute infection caused by the same poxyvirus, in HUMANS)

So, Jenner's successful use was because cowpox and smallpox are caused by the same virus

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

It will increase the rate of photosynthesis as there will be more carbon dioxide ... however there may be a limiting factor which will limit the rate to keep it constant... Such as the opening if the stomata to receive more CO2 which in turn causes loss of water by transpiration.

If a father is affected by an X-linked dominant condition and the mother is not, which children can inherit the condition?

kaheart [24]

Answer:

only females

Explanation:

In humans, sex chromosomes in males and females are different. The sex chromosomes found in humans are X and Y chromosomes. X-linked trait is a trait which is inherited on the X- chromosome. According to the question, the trait is passed on a X-linked dominant condition, which means the condition is inherited on the abnormal dominant X-chromosome that will express itself even when in an heterozygous state with a normal X-chromosome.

Hence, a father affected by the condition will have a genotype; XY while a mother that does not have the condition will have a genotype: xx (two normal x chromosomes). Since the Father can only pass his X chromosome to his daughters and never his sons, all his daughters will inherit the condition (see the punnet square in attached image).

N.B: None of the sons will inherit the condition since the mother will pass normal X-chromosomes (x) to her sons.

Which part of a cell is used by a virus to produce its protective protein coat?

Nadusha1986 [10]

A ribosome is the part of a cell is used by a virus to produce its protective

protein coat.

Virus produces a protective protein coat known as capsids which serves as

a means of protection for the organism. The capsids are produced through

the organelle known as ribosome.,

The ribosome acts as a site for protein synthesis in organisms and the

capsids being made up of protein means the ribosome was used to

produce its protective protein coat.
