Answer:

The correct answer is: c. A cage made of vimentin fibers protects nuclear DNA from damage during cell migration.

Explanation:

  • The cells that undergo migration from one place to the other, like macrophages, neutrophils, monocytes, etc, tend to move through capillaries.
  • As they move (squeeze) through the fine vessels of the blood or the lymphatic tissue, they need to distort their shape.
  • While distorting their shape, there are chances that the nucleus that contains the genetic material can get distorted too, thereby causing breakage of the genetic material.
  • This is prevented by a protective mesh formed by the structural protein called Vimentin, around the nucleus.
  • The Vimentin protein forms fibres by first forming the Type III intermediate filament structures by the process of homo- and hetero-dimerisation.

What did Darwin conclude about the finches on the Galapagos Islands that later supported his theory of evolution? Check all that
Ahat [919]

Answer:

The finches on Galapagos Islands had different beak

The beaks of the finches changed over time

The Galapagos finches had a common ancestor

Explanation: Darwin's Finches are a good example of natural selection and adaptive radiation of evolution. The different finches in Galapagos Island have emerged from a common  black, seed eating, short beak finches. This is called adaptive radiation, where different species arose from a single ancestor.

Due to changes in the natural environment, food resources, some finches have a long beak. This long beaks help them to eat insects. As a result, the competition will be less and nature selects them to survive in the new environment. This is a natural selection of evolution.
