This figure illustrates 3 hypotheses of how a cancer stem cell may arise: (1) A stem cell undergoes a mutation, (2) A progenitor cell undergoes two or more mutations, or (3) A fully differentiated cell undergoes several mutations that drive it back to a stem-like state.
Scanning electron microscope- this is a type of microscope that uses beams of electrons to view the surface of a specimen. it is used to provide a three-dimensional image of cells
transmission electron microscope- uses beams of electrons to examine the insides of thin slices of materials. it is used to provide a two-dimensional image of cell structures
Answer
Macromolecules in human body
The macromolecules found in human body are:
1. Carbohydrate,
2. Proteins
3. Lipids, and
4. Nucleic acids.
Elements they common share
All these macromolecules have three elements in common which are:
1. Carbon
2. Hydrogen, and
3. Oxygen.
These elements constitute about 95% of human body.
Difference in Chemical properties
Carbohydrate is composed of glucose monomers, which may have aldehyde functional group or ketone functional group. Protein is composed of monomers called amino acids. Each amino acid has carboxylic functional group, amino group, alkyl or aryl group and hydrogen atom. Lipid is composed of fatty acids and glycerol. While nucleic acid is composed of monomer called nucleotide. Each nucleotide is composed of pentose sugar, phosphate group and nitrogenous group. Due to the presence of different functional groups all these macromolecules have chemical properties different from each one
Answer: Inflammation
Explanation: Inflammation, is caused by the dilation of blood vessels which allows the passage of fluid, antibodies and WBC's into the infected body area
Answer: C. Cells in meiosis have unique genetic information
Explanation: Meiosis is the cell division that forms four daughter cells from one parent cell. It includes two successive divisions called as meiosis I and meiosis II. Crossing over during prophase I of meiosis I imparts new gene combinations to the daughter cells of meiosis. Hence, daughter cells formed by the end of meiosis have some new gene combinations, that is, unique genetic information.
