A cell biologist treated some cells with a stain. She found that the stain was concentrated within the mitochondria of many type

s of cells. Which conclusion could the cell biologist draw regarding the results of this test? A.The stain could be used to identify mitochondria in living cells B.The stain could be used to determine if cells were alive or dead. C.All stains will be absorbed by mitochondria. D.All mitochondria create stains.

A

B is wrong because mitochondria would likely absorb the stain even if it was dead.(And most cells that have been treated are dead anyway). C and D are just throwaway answers, you usually want to avoid the word "always" when drawing conclusions.

Answer:

Option (C).

Explanation:

Mitochondria is the semi autonomous cell organelle that acts as the energy house of the cell. Chemical like Janus green B can be used to identify the mitochondria in the cell.

A cell biologist has treated cells with stain that concentrates in the mitochondria. The cell biologist can conclude that the stain can be specifically used to stain the mitochondria as the stain is concentrated in the mitochondria of different cells and the stain is absorbed by the mitochondria.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

How sexual reproduction increases genetic diversity in many species of plants and animals
Dafna11 [192]




Sexual reproduction is a process involving the fusion of two gametes to


Gametes are special reproductive cells produced by meiosis. It produces genetically dissimilar offspring. Offspring may inherit beneficial qualities from both parents and there is a greater genetic variation in the offspring, leading to species that are better adapted to changes in the environment.

Which of the statements regarding the cell cycle is true? Group of answer choices It is regulated by cyclins and CDKs. Different
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

All of these choices are correct.

Explanation:

Cell cycle is the process of growth and division of cell. It comprises of interphase and mitosis. In interphase the cell grows, replicates its genomic content and prepares itself for division. In mitosis the division occurs.

Cell cycle is controlled by a group of kinases called as Cyclin dependent Kinases (CDKs). They act by phosphorylating their substrates. They are of various types like Cdk1, Cdk2, Cdk4 etc. They become active when they bind to a regulatory protein called cyclin. They are also of various types like Cyclin A, Cyclin B, Cyclin C etc. Level of cyclin and corresponding CDK increases and decreases according to the stage of cell cycle. For example in S phase of cell cycle concentration of cyclin A and E shoots up. CDK2 is able to bind to these cyclin molecules and hence it becomes active.

Cell cycle has major checkpoints where the condition of cell is analysed before it proceeds to the next stage of cycle. If any abnormality is detected, repair mechanism is activated or the cell is killed. Checkpoints do not allow cell cycle to proceed in damaged cells.

p53 is a tumor suppressor protein which can halt cell cycle when it detects some abnormality in cell. It usually acts in G1/S checkpoint (before the DNA replication starts in cell) and G2/M checkpoint (before the cell division begins). Hence, all of the above statements are true.
