If a mutation occurred in the cadherin gene so that the cytoplasmic domain no longer attached to the cytoskeleton, which of the
following would occur? A. Cadherins in desmosomes would no longer be anchored to intermediate filaments
B. Cadherins in adherens junctions would no longer be anchored to microtubules
C. Cadherins in hemidesmosomes would no longer be anchored to intermediate filaments
D. Cadherins in desmosomes would no longer be anchored to microfilaments
A. Cadherins in desmosomes would no longer be anchored to intermediate filaments
Explanation:
Cadherins are Ca dependent molecules (proteins) that are involved in cell-cell adhesion (they are type of cell adhesion molecule-CAM). Cadherins are composed of: a small cytoplasmic component, a transmembrane component, and the extra-cellular part.
There are types of cadherins called desmosomal cadherins which are involved in the formation of desmosomes (structure for cell-cell adhesion) and they bind to linker proteins and keratin intermediate filaments.
Might use the bathroom a lot to get rid of most of the blood because urine is water and if the water changes, the blood changes, so urine might happen if you want to get rid of all of the blood.
Osmosis is the process cells use to move water molecules in and out of the cell through the cell membrane. When cells are put in different environments they will try to maintain an equilibrium with the water concentration outside the cell. Through osmosis the cell will lose or gain water molecules to become equal to the concentration in their environment.
