The cystic fibrosis is a condition, in which the secretion of mucus in some vital organs such as lungs, pancreas, and stomach becomes sticky and thick.

This condition is caused by the inheritance of the recessive gene responsible for the development of the cystic fibrosis.

The thick and the sticky mucus gets lined up on the walls of the organ and causes the clogging of the tubes and the ducts, hence, instead of providing lubrication they act as clogging agent and causing major damage to some vital organs, especially, lungs and the pancreas.

What class of enzymes are involved in triggering events in the cell cycle?
ASHA 777 [7]
Kinases. Kinases add phosphate to molecules, and the modification can serve as a "switch" to turn events in the cell on or off. CDKs or cyclin dependent kinases regulate the cell cycle.

The  complete question is

Compared to the amount of genetic information contained in a normal human body cell, the amount contained in a normal human sperm cell is

A. the same

B.twice as much

c. one-half as much

D. one-fourth as much

One-half as much. Thus, option "C" is correct.

<h3>How, explain your answer?</h3>

The amount of genetic information contained in a normal human sperm cell (23 chromosomes) is one-half as much as the information contained in a normal human body cell (46 chromosomes).

Sperm cells are produced during meiosis, a specialized division process that reduces the number of chromosomes in half, generating haploid daughter cells.

Thus, option "C" is correct.

In the fluid-mosaic model of the plasma membrane, the phospholipid molecules are oriented so that the _____________ heads are fa
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

Hydrophilic heads facing exterior

Hydrophobic tails facing interior

Explanation:

In 1972, the fluid mosaic model was proposed to describe the structure of the plasma membrane. This model describes the plasma membrane to possess components including phospholipids, cholesterol and proteins. The phospholipid component is composed of glycerol, two fatty acids and a phosphate-containing head, which are arranged in two adjacent layers forming the phospholipid bilayer in the membrane of biological organisms.

Phospholipids have both the hydrophilic and hydrophobic region. Hence they are said to be AMPHIPATHIC.

The head of the phospholipid is negatively charged due to its phosphate content, making it polar and hydrophilic i.e. water-loving. This hydrophilic head faces the exterior of the cell in order to interact with fluids.

The tails of the phospholipid are long fatty acids that keep away from water i.e. hydrophobic. Due to their water-fearing nature, they avoid water and face the interior of the cell, where each tail face each other.
