Some strains of cancer cells are used quite often in laboratories because they are considered immortal. What unique features of

cancer cells make them immortal? A. They are have a limitless growth potential, in part due to their ability to maintain telomere length, and in culture will continue to divide indefinitely B. Cancer cells do not require access to nutrients or oxygen, so they can grow indefinitely C. They are resistant to mutation and therefore never die D. They are anchorage independent and never need a surface to grow on E. The DNA in cancer cell is not assembled in chromosomes and has no telomeres, which are used as a measure of the "life time" of a cell, so it will never age and divide indefinitely

Answer:

A. They are have a limitless growth potential, in part due to their ability to maintain telomere length, and in culture will continue to divide indefinitely.

Explanation:

Unlike normal cells, telomeres shorten in every cell division until eventually they become too short to protect the chromosomes and the cell dies. Cancer cells reverse the telomeres shortening, and instead, they  lengthen  them, thus they become inmortal.

What is a beneficial association between the roots of a plant and a fungus?
Gnom [1K]

Answer: Mycorrhiza

Explanation: Mycorrhiza is a symbiotic relationship between a plant and a fungi. Nearly 80 percent of all plants with root systems participate in this mutualistic relationship. In mycorrhiza, the fungus forms a haustoria that penetrates the cell walls of the plant's roots. The fungus absorbs all the nutrients from the roots as they are transported to the plant. In return, the fungus gives the plant necessary chemicals and minerals that it cannot properly reach on its own.

Which statement most correctly describes the role of a connecting protein
Tcecarenko [31]
I remember the secondary structure by visualizing it. Understand that primary structure is just the order of the amino acids. The tertiary structure is the 3dimensional configuration of the whole protein molecule with multiple interactions guiding its fold (disulfide bonds, ionic interactions, hydrogen bonds, van der walls). Secondary structure is a step towards the conformation of the protein where it is made up of either alpha-helices or beta-pleated sheets. The alpha helices look like a spiraling staircase while the beta-pleated sheets look like a repetition of long loops. These two structures hold itself by hydrogen bonds.
