According to the Endosymbiotic Theory, infoldings in the cell membrane of an ancestral prokaryotic cell gave rise to endomembran

e components, including the nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum and golgi apparatus in what would become eukaryotic cells. The evolution of endomembrane components provided for compartmentalization in eukaryotes, leading to more efficiency in cell processes. The endomembrane system includes the endoplasmic reticulum. Which statement does NOT describe the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)?
A) The ER is an extension of the nuclear envelope.

B) The ER serves as a transport network for the proteins produced in its membrane.

C) The ER provides separate microenvironments for each of the modifications that must take place to proteins.

D) The ER serves a role in protein folding, lipid and steroid synthesis, carbohydrate metabolism and calcium storage

Explanation:

<u>False:</u> C) The ER provides separate microenvironments for each of the modifications that must take place to proteins.

The golgi apparatus comprised of several components called cisternae, these function as different microenvironments, where further modification proteins and lipids into functional biomolecules occurs.

During protein synthesis, transcription occurs in the nucleus, followed by translation within ribosomes, the newly synthesized proteins enter endoplasmic reticulum where they undergo folding and modification. Within the golgi body, the proteins are tagged and parceled into lysosomes for export.

Further Explanation:

The endoplasmic reticulum is a membrane system within the cytoplasm that extends from the outer nuclear membrane. Apart from increasing the surface area within the cell, this continuous system also carries out protein folding, synthesis and transport. In the endoplasmic reticulum or ER, some sections called the smooth ER, do not contain ribosomes, and may contain lipids, enzymes, and other proteins. Other sections bound to ribosomes, are called the rough Er. As a protein destined for the endomembrane system is being synthesized by a ribosome, the first amino acids in the growing polypeptide chain act as a signal sequence. That signal sequence ensures that the ribosome binds to the outer membrane of the ER and that the protein enters the ER lumen. The proteins undergo major modifications and are packed into vesicles.

Golgi bodies are flat, disk-like membranous regions. Proteins traverse the organelle by first having their vesicles bind to the cis face or receiving end. Like a post office, the golgi complex, or golgi body recognizes specific signal sequences, targets and further modifies and packages these compounds into lysosomes for delivery to their final destination.  Proteins here undergo peptide processing and glycosylation

2. Tim and Stephanie are devastated when the
saul85 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

<em>Tim and Stephanie are devastated when they find out their newborn son has hemophilia- sex-linked recessive disease. Tim is shocked because he doesn’t have hemophilia, and figured if his son has it he would have gotten it from him. Is Tim correct in his thinking? Explain. Also explain what their genotypes must be in order for neither parents to have the disease but their son does. Create a Punnett square, and indicate the mother's and father's genotype.</em>

<em />

First of all, the thinking of Tim is wrong. Hemophilia is X-linked and a male (XY) child always inherits his X chromosome from his mother. Hence, <u>the newborn son of Tim must have inherited the allele for the disease from Stephanie.</u>

Now, neither Tim nor Stephanie showed any symptom of hemophilia. It could only mean that Tim is totally free of the hemophilic allele while Stephanie is a carrier for it. Because a man has just one X chromosome, he can either be totally free of the abnormality or affected by it, no in-between. A woman has two X chromosomes, hence, she can be totally free, a carrier, or affected for the disease. Assuming the allele for hemophilia to be h, Tim's genotype would, therefore, be X^HY while that of his wife would be X^HX^h .

The Punnet's square analysis of the cross between Tim and Stephanie is indicated in the attached image.

The infant should receive the long-term care in a home environment because it promotes more family interaction and less of a hospital environment.
