Answer:

False

Explanation:

The glycocalyx is the layer surrounding the plasma membrane of the eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells.

The glycocalyx is composed of the carbohydrates and the protein molecules like the proteoglycans, glycosaminoglycans and the other glycoproteins.

The glycocalyx has been identified in the bacterial cells as a protective layer from the host bu in eukaryotes the glycocalyx helps in the cell to cell interaction and communication.

Since the glycocalyx is not composed primarily of the proteins but of the carbohydrates and the proteins therefore false is the correct answer.

Answer: False. It is not glycocalyx.

Explanation:

Glycocalyx is a carbohydrate enriched membrane bound layer that surrounds the cell plasma of eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells, especially bacteria. It act as a barrier between the cells and its environments. In bacterial cell, it act as protective coat from host factors.

Glycocalyx help in cell to cell interaction or communication in eukaryotic cell. It is involved in diseases development and progression.

What are the "twisty columns" and "rungs" in the DNA?
kolezko [41]
The twisty columns of the double helix are phosphate and sugar(deoxyribose), which are bonded by a covalent bond. Each nucleotide consists of one of each, and also a nitrogen base. The rungs are nitrogen bases, each nucleotide has one base, and one side of the ladder bonds to the other side of the ladder through hydrogen bonding of complementary base pairs.

12. Given the human pedigree to the right, is the trait indicated by
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

Darkened shapes are recessive

Explanation:

In the pedigree shown, we can see that 2 parents that are unshaded shapes have 2 children that are shaded shapes. This would be impossible if shaded shapes were dominant and unshaded shapes were recessive. This is because parents that have a recessive trait have 2 of the same alleles. So if 2 parents that both have a recessive trait have a child, the child will definitely have that trait. But we can see that this is not the case, the parents have 2 offspring that have different phenotype from the parents. This must mean the parents are heterozygous, meaning that they both have 2 alleles that are different. The dominant allele masks the recessive allele, so the dominant allele is expressed. In this case, the children inherited 2 recessive alleles, 1 from each parent, making them have a different phenotype from the parents.
