Banking stem cells is a very popular practice in science. This is when stem cells, located in the umbilical cord of a birthed in

fant, are saved and frozen. Why could this be a beneficial practice?
A)Stem cells are already differentiated but can still replace different cells located in the body
B)Stem cells should not be saved because all cells of the body can be used as stem cells
C)Stem cells are undifferentiated and therefore, could be used to grow into any kind of cell of the body
D)In case of an emergency, it is always good to have a lot of cells on hand since they cannot replace themselves

Banking stem cells are located in the umbilical cord of a birthed infant, are saved and frozen.This storage is beneficial because Stem cells are undifferentiated and therefore, could be used to grow into any kind of cell of the body.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

When the zygote is formed it contains only one cell which divides continuously to form a complete organism, on this note the cells that are formed initially are not confined to a single type rather they are undifferentiated and therefore on proper signalling can be differentiated into any number of cells.

How does undestanding the water cycle help us examine the cause of sea level rise?
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

Water cycle is also known as the hydrological cycle. It involves the water in water bodies such as ocean, river, lakes etc being heated up by the sun and then evaporations into the atmosphere. The evaporated water then condenses and falls back as rain into the water bodies.

The water body is always low during summer due to the water being heated and evaporated into the atmosphere and high during spring/winter due to rainfall and less evaporation.

Explain how the Naked DNA exploits vector's DNA ability to make a vaccine.
mixer [17]

Answer:

DNA vaccines consist of DNA vectors or plasmids (small double-stranded DNA rings originally derived from bacteria, but unable to cause infection) into which the genes encoding one or more immunizing proteins of the infectious agent have been inserted causing the disease to be prevented.

Explanation:

Vectors are the functional unit of naked DNA vaccines. Genes that encode the proteins of interest and are of bacterial origin are inserted into these vectors. Bacterial plasmids are circular DNA molecules that self-replicate extrachromosomally in bacteria. The genes encoded in these plasmids are under the control of promoters, almost always of viral origin. When a plasmid is introduced into the cell it translocates to the nucleus, where transcription of the transgene begins; the transcripts are then taken to the cytoplasm and translated there. The newly synthesized proteins are degraded in the proteasome to 8-10 amino acid peptides, which are transported to the endoplasmic reticulum. Peptides of high affinity with their respective MHC I molecule stabilize and enter the secretory pathway, thus reaching the cell surface, where they are coupled with the T-lymphocyte receptor (TcR) present on the surface of T lymphocytes cytotoxic drugs (CD8 +) to induce their activation.

What is transduction? (circle all that apply)
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option- B.

Explanation:

The Transduction is the process of the genetic transfer by which the foreign DNA is incorporated in the genome of the cell using virus or bacteriophage. The process of transduction was discovered by the Zinder and Lederberg in 1952 in the species of<em> Salmonella</em> bacteria. The transduction process is of two types: generalized and specialized transduction.

Thus, option- B is the correct answer.
