It is important for asexual cellular reproduction so that an organism can heal a wound, grow larger systems such as organs, and replace sick or dead cells.

Mitosis is important for a number of reasons. It's a form of reproduction for some organisms that reproduce asexually, it's needed for growth and development, and also for the repair and replacement of cells. If we didn't do mitosis dead cells wouldn't be replaced, and that would cause some massive problems. For example, if we weren't capable of doing mitosis and you cut your hand, the cut wouldn't heal up because the cells wouldn't be getting replaced.

In which step of protein synthesis does the rRNA make protein?
Inessa [10]

Answer:

Translation is the second part of the central dogma of molecular biology: RNA → Protein. It is the process in which the genetic code in mRNA is read to make a protein. Translation is illustrated in the diagram below. After mRNA leaves the nucleus, it moves to a ribosome, which consists of rRNA and proteins.

Explanation:

Within the ribosome, the rRNA molecules direct the catalytic steps of protein synthesis — the stitching together of amino acids to make a protein molecule. In fact, rRNA is sometimes called a ribozyme or catalytic RNA to reflect this function.

Explain the importance of immunological memory cells. Describe in detail how and when memory cells arise and explain how they fo
Vlad1618 [11]

Explanation:

<em>Immunological memory</em> is the property of the immune system to store information about a stimulus so it can mount an effective response if it encounters the same stimulus again being this second response quicker and stronger even after years since the first encounter.

This kind of response is dependent on many subpopulations within T and B lymphocytes and NK cells. When encountering an antigen, B cells recognize it by membrane antibody specifically binding to the antigen and then being activated to expand rapidly with their progeny clones differentiating into plasma and memory B cells, these last ones have a long life span to remain in the body, ready when another encounter with the same stimulus occurs, this is how the basis for effective immunizations happens.

I hope you find this information useful! Good luck!
