The different types of cells in a body contain identical sets of DNA molecules. However, the structures and functions of the cel

l types vary widely. Gene expression describes the way in which genetic information is put into action in undifferentiated stem cells, making some cells, skin cells and others, muscle fibers. DNA is first transcribed into mRNA. The codons on the mRNA specify the order in which amino acids are placed to form a protein. Proteins, then play an important role in expressing an organism's physical traits.
Which of these factors does NOT play a significant role in cell differentiation?

A)
Transcription factors bind to regulatory regions of a gene and affect their expression by turning genes off or on.


B)
Certain segments of DNA will be lost in the translation process, rendering certain genes obsolete in particular cells.


C)
Certain genes can be turned on or off by the presence of concentration of transcription factors in the cytoplasm of the cell.


D)
The type and amount of RNA may help determine how a cell differentiates. The process of RNA Interference can even shut down targeted genes, affecting cell differentiation.

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

In cell differentiation, the objective is to differentiate cell on the basis of their functions and organs they are going to form. In this exercise, the cells need to get on an off to define the type of the cell and their function. Hence option A, C is important for cell differentiation. Information from DNA is transferred to mRNA for cell differentiation; hence option D is also correct. While option B has no role in cell differentiation, in fact loss of DNA segment could cause mutation i.e deletion.

Hence, option B is the correct answer

The function of a plasma membrane is to help the cell regenerate.<br> True False
Svetlanka [38]
<span>False. The plasma membrane is the outer layer of the membrane and its primary purpose is to protect the cell from its surroundings. It is selectively permeable to allow ions and other organic molecules to pass through and regulates which molecules are allowed in and out of the cell. It is a phospholipid bilayer that are placed back-to-back.</span>

The bacterium known for causing pseudomembranous colitis, a potentially deadly superinfection, is ________.
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

<em>Clostridium difficile </em>

Explanation:

<em>Clostridium difficile </em>are anaerobic gram-positive rod-shaped bacteria. This species of <em>Clostridium</em> has an incubation period of days to weeks and causes severe diarrhea and fever. It causes antibiotics related colitis termed as pseudomembranous colitis. The epithelial lining of colon undergoes necrosis due to the bacterial toxins. The affected individuals exhibit abrupt diarrhea, presence of blood and toxins in stool.

Both the nervous and endocrine systems control body functions. How are they similar and dissimilar in the way they work, types o
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

Similarity

Both nervous and endocrine system are similar in a way that they perform the regulatory function in the body and act as regulator in various body functions.

Difference

1. nervous  system uses  electrical impulses (neural)for signaling while endocrine system  uses chemical signals called hormones, which travel through the bloodstream and control the actions of cells and organs.

2. The nervous system can respond quickly to stimuli, through the use of action potentials and neurotransmitters. Responses to nervous system stimulation are typically quick but short lived. The endocrine system responds to stimulation by secreting hormones into the circulatory system that travel to the target tissue.
