Protect. The immune system protects the body from diseases and harmful pathogens. The skeletal system keeps you upright and supports you with help from the muscles.
Answer:
a rat with rabbit hemoglobin genes
Explanation:
When the genome of an organism is modified in the field of genetic engineering,by transplanting the gene(DNA) from one organisms to another,(by vectors) or alteration of the gene components,the resulting organism produced or formed is called Transgenic organism.
This process of genetic engineering makes use of recombination of genes to alter the genome of the transgenic organism.
Thus by transferring to rat ( the DNA for Hb) as the rabbit Hb,the gene( or genome) for producing Hb in tats has been modified by that of rabbit.Hence Rat is said to transgenic.
Besides animals crop plants are also genetically modified.Thus the genome of some crops are altered to resist herbicides and pesticides. Some species of rice (golden rice)have been modified to add certain vitamins to improve the nutritional values.
Genetically modified bananas as edible vaccines are another example
Answer:
Gated ion-channels
Explanation:
These ion channels are protein molecules that act as a passageway which span across the cell membrane allowing the movement of ions from one side of the membrane to the other. They possess the ability to open and close in response to either chemical or mechanical signals.They possess a fluidic pore, which becomes available to ions after a conformational change in the protein structure has been activated causing the ion channel to open. Based on the stimulus to which they respond, ion channels are divided into three groups: voltage-gated, ligand-gated and mechano-sensitive ion channels. Channels responding to electrical (voltage-dependent ion channels), mechanical, or chemical (ligand-gated ion channels) stimuli open and allow rapid ion movement into or out of the cell, and this movement creates an electrical signals.
The myelin sheath (C) insulates the axons.
The myelin sheath is a fatty substance, hence why it is great for insulation. <span />
