The central lumens of thyroid follicles are filled with colloid, which consists of the protein thyroglobulin, a molecule that binds and stores thyroid hormone.
Thyroglobulin is a protein produced primarily by the thryroid gland. The thyroid gland is mainly made up of tiny, round shaped structures called follicles that produce and store thyroglobulin. Thyroglobulin acts as a substrate for the synthesis of the hormones (thyroxine and triiodothyronine) and also the storage of the inactive forms of thyroid hormone and iodine. Thyroxine and triiodothyronine assist in the regulation of the utilization of energy by the body.
Malignant tumors are classified according to the type of cells that give rise to them.
Answer:
a. The spindle apparatus is present in cells undergoing <u>mitosis and meiosis. </u><u> </u>the spindle is crucial for chromosome sorting.
b. Chromosome replication occurs just prior to <u>mitosis and meiosis I. </u> DNA needs to be copied during S fase to have enough DNA and transfer it to the daughter cells.
c. The cells resulting from <u>mitosis </u>in a haploid cell have a ploidy of n.
Mitosis produces identical cells.
d. The cells resulting from <u>meiosis II </u>in a diploid cell have a ploidy of n. meiosis is the only process that causes chromosome reduction (assuming no errors).
(e). Homologous chromosome pairing regularly occurs during <u>meiosis I.</u> Each daughter cell needs 1 chromosome of each kind
(f). Non-homologous chromosome pairing regularly occurs during <u>none</u>. This is kind of an error.
(g). Physical recombination leading to the production of recombinant progeny classes occurs during <u>Meiosis I </u>
(h). Centromere división occurs during meiosis II and mitosis
(i) Non-sister chromatids are found in the same cell during <u>meiosis II</u>

The ends of a chromosome are called telomeres. They prevent chromosomes from joining together when they are not supposed to.
