Answer:

Different genes are expressed in different cells

Explanation:

The instruction is provided to the cell by the genetic material in the form of genes. Genes are the physical segment present on the DNA which can code for a specific protein.

The genes are present in the cells in the condensed form called chromosome which is present in all the cells of the body.

Although all the cells contain the same type of chromosomes or genes but they differentiate to perform different functions.

The differentiation process involves the expression of different genes in different cells as a result of which different proteins are formed in different cells and they perform different functions.

What would be the most likely outcome if the ribosomes of a cell were damaged and stopped functioning?
galben [10]
Fundamentally, the cell would cease to function and possibly die. Proteins are used for cellular repairing and chemical processes. Ribosomes are one of the most important organelles in the cell, mostly part of the rough endoplasmic reticulum. It manufactures enzymes such as proteins which will be utilized by many organelles in the cell. Microtubules are one, responsible for the framework and acts as a skeleton of the cell –cytoskeleton needs proteins, also cytoplasm and other organelles of the cell. For a prokaryote or a eukaryote cell to survive, they need protein.

ElenaW [278]

Answer: Eat more nutrient-dense foods

Reduce intake of saturated fats

Eat more fruits and vegetables

Explanation:

Eat more nutrient-dense foods: The food rich in fibers, proteins, and other nutrient-based food will provide strength to the body and will also support the weight loss by stopping the tendency of frequent eating by increasing the mass of food that one eats.

Reduce intake of saturated fats: Saturated fat tends to increase the low-density lipoproteins or bad cholesterol in the body. This LDL will increase the cholesterol level in the body and will cause an increase in weight gain.

Eat more fruits and vegetables: Fruits and vegetables are a good source of fibers, which will keep the stomach full for a long time. Thus will reduce the dependency on high fat-containing food.
