Answer:

The best explanation for the increased lymphocyte levels in Kaya is that she was not tissue typed prior to her surgery, and her body is mounting an immune response.

Explanation:

When performing an organ transplant, it must be verified whether the organ to be transplanted is compatible -by tissue typing- with the recipient, since it is recognized as a foreign body by the body and can be rejected.

One of the immunological responses to organ rejection is called cell rejection, involving T-helper and cytotoxic lymphocytes.

It is very likely that in Kaya's case the tests have not been performed correctly, and she is experiencing rejection of the organ she received. The progressive increase in lymphocytes may be an indication of this.

The other options are not possible because:

Administering antibiotics should not raise lymphocyte levels.
There is no evidence of antigen attack.
Immunosuppressant drugs do not increase lymphocyte count.

Which of the following enzymes listed below are responsible for cancer cells ability to prevent aging of the cells and contribut

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

Telomerase

Explanation:

Repetitive regions at the ends of Chromosomes are known as telomeres and these are crucial for chromosomal stability. There is no gene present and they provide protection to internal parts of chromosome. The telomeres are eaten up slowly by ‘DNA REPAIR MECHANISM’ after many division cycles, which is considered as ageing. That why, a cell can divide only certain number of times.

Some cells have ability to express an enzyme telomerase that maintain the length of telomere. The telomerase enzyme contributes to cell immortality by rebuilding the damaged telomere. Thus telomerase enzyme is necessary for cancer initiation and survival of tumor. Telomerase enzyme can make its own DNA by using its RNA as template . It extends the overhang strands of DNA by using a comlementary DNA.
