Answer: False

T-cells get their name from the endocrine gland (thymus) in which they are stored, not from the thyroid gland.

T cells belong to a subtype of white blood cells known as "lymphocytes", that is why T cell are also known as T lymphocytes. The "T" stands for "thymus" -- the small endocrine gland in which these cells mature. It is responsible for a variety of other immune responses.

The given image is a flow chart representation of the process of the protein synthesis from the DNA molecule by a two-step process that is combinedly known as the central dogma.

The first step is a transcription in which an RNA molecule (mRNA) is synthesized from the DNA molecule in organism nucleus (in eukaryotes only). The second step is to making a polypeptide chain of amino acid with help of rRNA, tRNA, and mRNA, this process is known as translation and represented in the image as C and B is the protein that formed.

Thus, the correct answer is - B is protein

C is the process of translation

Describe the different body senses and how they function.

Anit [1.1K]

Those senses are sight, smell, hearing, taste, and touch. We see with our eyes, we smell with our noses, we listen with our ears, we taste with our tongue, and we touch with our skin. Our brain receives signals from each of these organs and interprets them to give us a sense of what's happening around us.

So basically, Hydrogen and Deuterium; an isotope of hydrogen
