Answer:

C. Lack of parotid gland secretion

Explanation:

Based on the scenario being described within the question it can be said that this injury could cause a lack of parotid gland secretion. This is because parasympathetic preganglionic fibers that exist within the lesser petrosal nerve go into the otic ganglion, here they start to synapse which causes posterior parasympathetic fibers to join the auriculotemporal nerve which therefore supply the parotid gland for secretion of saliva. Which may otherwise not happen if the petrosal nerve is damaged.

Answer: Question 1 answer: Skin cells continually replicate

Explanation: The cells in the superficial or upper layers of skin, known as the epidermis, are constantly replacing themselves. This process of renewal is basically exfoliation (shedding) of the epidermis. But the deeper layers of skin, called the dermis, do not go through this cellular turnover and so do not replace themselves.

Question 2 answer: Heart cells undergo terminal differentiation

Explanation: Different cell types (e.g., neurons, skeletal and heart myocytes, adipocytes, keratinocytes) undergo terminal differentiation, in which acquisition of specialized functions entails definitive withdrawal from the cell cycle.

Question 3 answer: DNA replicates in the nucleus

Explanation: DNA replication occurs in the cytoplasm of prokaryotes and in the nucleus of eukaryotes. Regardless of where DNA replication occurs, the basic process is the same. The structure of DNA lends itself easily to DNA replication.

Question 4 answer: The ability to reverse terminal differentiation might affect gene expression in a complex organism

Question 5 answer Cytoplasm replicates during mitosis

Explanation: This process involves replication of the cell's chromosomes, segregation of the copied DNA, and splitting of the parent cell's cytoplasm. ... The outcome of binary fission is two new cells that are identical to the original cell.

Wittaler [7]

Katie has a rare neurological disease in which her neurons can receive new information and process it, but some of them just cannot pass the information along. This disease most likely affects the axon of the neurons. Since axon is the signal transmitting end of the neuron, if the fusion of the vesicles containing the neurotransmitters with the cell membrane around the synaptic cleft is hampered, then the signal transmission gets disrupted.

Darwin realized that the often exquisite fit of species to their environment is primarily the result of
bagirrra123 [75]
Natural Selection.
An easy and important way to remember this is by thinking of a species - let’s say a bright white moth. For ages, these moths have survived beautifully, matching perfectly with the white tree bark they live on, until one day, a smoky building begins pumping its soot into the air. This air begins to change the color of the tree bark to black and the once hidden white moths are now plainly visible to birds who eat them easily. Fortunately, every now and then a moth is born who is darker than the rest - black as soot even. And so, the birds keep eating the white moths but missing the soot-colored ones. As time goes by, the soot-colored moths produce more and more similarly colored moths, who are well hidden from the birds AND after enough time, the only moths that remain are soot-colored. This is why so many species “fit” exquisitely into their environment. They have ALL adapted in some way similar to the soot-colored moth.

Which statement about plasma membranes is correct?
diamong [38]

The statement that is correct about plasma membranes is that both plant cells and animal cells have flexible plasma membranes (option C).

<h3>What is the plasma membrane?</h3>

Plasma membrane is the semipermeable membrane that surrounds the cytoplasm of a cell. The semi-permeability of the plasma membrane means it allows some molecules through but blocks other substances.

The plasma membrane is the cellular structure that protects and encompasses the cell's content.

All living organisms possess the plasma membrane, which is also called cell membrane.

Therefore, the statement that is correct about plasma membranes is that both plant cells and animal cells have flexible plasma membranes.
