A researcher is using a modified version of FRAP. She has devised a technique that allows her to label all the peripheral membra

ne proteins with a fluorescent tag, and has bleached a specific area of the cell membrane. After 24 hours, she notices that fluorescence has returned to the bleached area. What can she deduce from this experiment?A. Peripheral membrane proteins are akin to integral membrane proteins.B. Peripheral membrane proteins may not be permanently associated with the cell membrane.C. Peripheral membrane proteins—like transmembrane proteins—are located within the cell membrane.D. Peripheral membrane proteins can move freely within the cell membrane.E. Peripheral membrane proteins can both move freely within the cell membrane and are akin to integral membrane proteins

Answer:

The correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

FRAP or Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching refers to a method of finding the kinetics of diffusion in living cells, generally with the assistance of fluorescence microscopy. The method comprises the labeling of a particular cell constituent with a fluorescent molecule, imaging that cell, photobleach a small section of the cell, then image the recovery of fluorescence with time.  

In the given question, as the fluorescence has recovered back to the bleached region. The scientist can come to the conclusion that the membrane of the cell and the peripheral membrane proteins do not always belong together.

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

relies on the evaluation of dreams and the unconscious desires.

Explanation:

Genetics can be defined as the scientific study of hereditary in living organisms such as humans, animals and plants.

A trait refers to the specific features or characteristics possessed by a living organism. It is essentially transferred from the parent of a living organism to her offspring and as such distinguishes him or her. Some examples of traits in genetics are colorblindness, handedness, curly hair, height, complexion, weight, hair color, dimples, tongue-roll, etc.

This ultimately implies that, the manner in which living organism such as humans look and behave is largely dependent on both the traits inherited from their parents and the environment in which they grew up or stayed.

Hence, the behavioral genetics approach relies on the evaluation of dreams, unconscious desires, twin, family, and adoption studies which are used to investigate the gene possessed by living organisms or their environment interactions.

Chloroplasts and mitochondria have something in common that supports the theory of endosymbiosis. What is it?
Vilka [71]

Answer: A) Mitochondria and chloroplasts are found in prokaryotes.

Explanation:

Both mitochondria and chloroplasts contain their own DNA and ribosomes.  The first endosymbiotic event occurred: The ancestral eukaryote consumed aerobic bacteria that evolved into mitochondria. In a second endosymbiotic event, the early eukaryote consumed photosynthetic bacteria that evolved into chloroplasts.
