Answer:
Elastic fibers are made of elastin and microfibrils, that are elastic protein structures. The proteins can be stretched and resume normal shape. These fibers are found in parts of the body such as arteries, skin, lungs, connective tissue and heart that require some stretching. Marfan syndrome affects the elastic connective tissues causing symptoms like dilation of the aorta that doesn't resume normal lumen diameter (aortic aneurysm), and curving of the spine (scoliosis).
The lungs are unable to stretch and resume shape normally and this affects the respiratory system. The subjects will suffer from shortness of breath, wheezing and chest pain.
The sheath/endoneurium of neurons is connective tissue. This part of a neuron allows signals to travel effeciently along the axon of the neuron. This means that a person with Mafran syndrome has a slower response to stimuli that ordinary persons.
Answer:
Mitosis is used to produce daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cells.
Explanation:
The cell copies its chromosomes, and then splits the copied chromosomes equally to make sure that each daughter cell has a full set.
Some species we see in Alaska and nowhere else in the Wolrd are:
Bats
Shrews
Bears
Seals
White Wolfs
Sea lions
Racoons
Walrus.
Bears, Seals, White Wolfs and Sea lions survive the cold weather much more than those other animals.
Platelets would help the blood clot, therefore preventing blood loss. White Blood Cells would help protect against infection. So, I believe the answer would be platelets & white blood cells.
