Answer:

The correct option is C. receptor dimerizaton.

Explanation:

Growth Factors are protein substances found in our blood and play an important role in intercellular communication. These protein substances bind to receptors on the surface of the cell, with the main result of the activation of cell proliferation and / or differentiation.  Many growth factors are very versatile, stimulating cell division in numerous different cell types, while others are specific to a particular cell type.

For the activation of a growth factor, dimerization or oligomerization of the receptor is necessary for kinase activity to occur, triggering intracellular signaling cascades. The dimerization can be between two identical receptors (homodimerization) or between different members of the same family (heterodimerization). The dimerization of the receptor, leads to the activation of its tyrosine kinase and the transphosphorylation of the tyrosine residues, releasing a signal transduction into the cell.

Compare the properties of the parent and daughter cells in mitosis and meiosis and explain the reason for any differences.
katrin [286]
Mitosis - 48 chromosomes (diploid cells)
Meiosis - 24 chromosomes (haploid cells)

Diploid cells. Meiosis is the process of cell division by which involving gametes. Cell division is just the same for sperm and egg cells, but they have distinguishable descriptions and labels in the process. Spermatogenesis is for the males’ sperm cells and oogenesis is the process for females’ egg cells. The cell division of meiosis involves the two phases, respectively meiosis I and meiosis II. Meiosis I like mitosis is the cell division that produces diploid cells<span>. These diploid cells are cells that contain a complete pair of chromosomes which is 46. The result is two diploid cells after the first meiosis. To provide clear explanation, in contrast haploid cells only contain 23 chromosomes and are created after meiosis II which is 4 in number.</span>
