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.

How do the geography and geographical features of your area affect the temperature?
kogti [31]

Answer:

An area's latitude on the surface of the Earth affects the weather because it changes the intensity of the sun's light that the area receives. Things like mountains affect the weather by directing air currents, which can send storms to you, or keep them away. If you live in a place with lots of vegetation, it will be more humid, and warmer, because the plants retain the heat.

How does mutation effect genes
Harman [31]

Answer: When a mutation alters a protein that plays a critical role in the body, it can disrupt normal development or cause a medical condition. A condition caused by mutations in one or more genes is called a genetic disorder. In some cases, gene mutations are so severe that they prevent an embryo from surviving until birth

How are the lytic and lysogenic cycles similar and different in terms of process and infection?
ELEN [110]

Answer:

<h2>Lytic cycle: involve that there is rupture( lysis) of the host cell and release many copies of virus. </h2><h2>Lysogenic cycle:  involve the insertion of the nucleic acid of a bacteriophage into host genome, known as prophage. </h2>

Explanation:

There are many  similarities and differences between lysogenic and lytic cycles that;

1. Lysogenic cycle of bacteriophage :

i)  in lysogenic cycle:  bacteriophage insert its DNA with that of a host, known as prophage and it replicates with host.

2. Lytic cycle of bacteriophage:

i) lytic cycle is that it results in many copies of the virus very quickly and the cell is ruptured and many copies of virus are released.

4. Similarity is that in both cycles bacteriophase inter into the host and use their machinery.
