Compare the rates of cell division occurring in your neurons and your hair follicles.

Biology
1 answer:
Firlakuza [10]3 years ago
5 0

Once you finish growing to adulthood, neurons stop dividing. Hair follicle cells constantly divide throughout your lifetime since they are constantly producing cells that become part of the hair itself as they die. So in an adult, the rate of cell division for neurons is zero (although there is some counter-evidence but it is certainly very low) while the hair follicle rate is much higher on the order of once every few days or faster.

The process of mRNA processing eukaryote is modeled above. what does the addition of the poly-A tail provide for the cell?
tangare [24]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

An enzyme called poly (A) polymerase (PAP) is part of the same protein complex that cleaves the pre-mRNA and it immediately adds a string of A nucleotides, called the poly (A) tail, to the 3′ end of the just-cleaved pre-mRNA. The poly (A) tail added protects the mRNA from degradation, aids in the exportation of the mature mRNA to the cytoplasm and helps in binding proteins involved in initiating translation.
