What three distinct elements make up the cytoskeleton in eukaryotic cells?

Biology
1 answer:
natita [175]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Microfilaments, Intermediate filaments and microtubules

Explanation:

Three distinct elements make up the cytoskeleton in eukaryotic cells are:

1. Microfilaments or actin filaments which are composed of actin proteins. The functions of those filaments are: muscle contraction (myosin heads move “walk” on actin filaments), the movement of the cell,  intracellular transport, maintaince of the cell shape..

2. Intermediate filaments which can be made of vimentins, keratin, lamin, desmin… Their functions are: the maintenance of cell shape, anchoring organelles, structural components of the nuclear lamina, cell-cell and cell-matrix junctions…

3. Microtubules are filaments polymers of alpha and beta tubulin. Their roles are in intracellular transport (associated with motor protein dyneins and kinesins),  formation of the axoneme of cilia and flagella, formation of the mitotic spindle.

elena55 [62]

Out of the following give choices;

a. All DNA strands contained only the heavy nitrogen isotope.

b. Half of the DNA strands contained only the light nitrogen isotope.

c. All DNA strands contained both heavy and light nitrogen isotopes.

d. All DNA strands contained only the lighter nitrogen isotope.

The answer is b. Meselson–Stahl experiment demonstrated the semi-conservative model of DNA replication. When DNA is replicated, one strand of the new double helix strand is the parent's strand while the other is the newly synthesized one. This made the semiconservative model stand out over the other two, dispersive and conservative models.

Create an experiment where you would use both a Southern blot and a Northern blot to determine if a newly isolated bacterium con
natta225 [31]

Answer:

■Gene sequences would be used to make Probes for both the Southern and Northern blots.

■The probes will be used to view the presence of each gene with the use of isolated genomic DNA obtained from the isolated bacterium

■Each probes hybridized to the genome shows the pathway is isolated and point of the genes were involved in the substrate catabolism

■The carbon source in the isolate is derived from the substrate inducing the catabolic pathway as RNA determine transcripts present

■Probes hybridizing to the same sequences would be used to determine the gene activity for the pathway as seen in the southern one

■since all the genes present in the genome couldn't be identified, the northern would be important to work on

■Catabolic pathway is determined by the same genes. Hence, the need for gene/transcript probes to hybridize to the transcriptome.

Which of these buildings is most likely to have indoor air pollution
Mars2501 [29]
<span>The building from the list provided with the highest likelihood of air pollution is a tightly sealed house with an unvented water heater. The school with leaks will let air exchange happen so that isn't it, and having a carbon monoxide detector only reports existing air pollution it doesn't prevent air pollution, it could have issues but we don't know. The tightly sealed house with the unvented water heater is a near sure thing.</span>

When a chromosomes undergoes a deletion mutation, information is ?
Readme [11.4K]
Well,

By the word "deletion" we can deduce that information is lost.  Therefore, when a chromosome undergoes a deletion mutation, information is lost.  This can have disastrous effects if it is a human chromosome.
