Desmosomes

Desmosomes are cell junction that acts as anchors and distributes tension through a cellular sheet and reduces the chance of tearing when it is subjected to great mechanical stress.


Desmosomes are cell structure by which two adjacent cells are joined. Desmosomes are specialized for cell to cell contact and strong adhesion. The inactiveness of desmosomes can lead to diseases of the skin and heart. Desmosomes are found in tissue that undergo high mechanical stress, such as bladder tissue, epithelial, and cardiac muscle tissue.

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

11km

Explanation:

The total distance travelled is the sum of the distance as follows:

- from home to friend's house

- from friend's house back home

- from home to the mall

According to this question;

* I walked from my house to my friend's place and covered 0.5km

* I walked back from my friend's house home in the same 0.5km

* I drove to the mall from my house and covered a distance of 10km

Hence, the total distance covered is 0.5 + 0.5 + 10

= 11km

Where do the storms hit the hardest in europe?
Annette [7]

Answer:

The effects of tropical cyclones in Europe and their extratropical remnants include strong winds, heavy rainfall, and in rare instances, tornadoes or snowfall. There are only two modern cyclones officially regarded as directly impacting mainland Europe while still fully tropical or subtropical: Hurricane Vince in 2005, which struck southwestern Spain as a tropical depression; and Subtropical Storm Alpha in 2020, which made landfall in northern Portugal at peak intensity. Hurricane Debbie in 1961 may have still been tropical when it made landfall in northwestern Ireland, but this is disputed.[nb 1] In 1842, it is believed that a hurricane struck Europe.

What is the chance that a human zygote will receive one X and one Y sex chromosome during fertilization?
Ne4ueva [31]

The right answer is 50% (a half).

The sperm that fertilizes the egg (X chromosome carrier) can carry both an X chromosome or a Y chromosome, so the chances are equal, which means that there is as much chance that fertility gives birth to a girl (two X chromosomes) than to give birth to a boy (X and Y chromosome).
