Answer:

(1) they keep toxic substances out of the cell; (2) they contain receptors and channels that allow specific molecules, such as ions, nutrients, wastes, and metabolic products, that mediate cellular and extracellular activities to pass between organelles and between the cell and the outside environment; and (3) they separate vital but incompatible metabolic processes conducted within organelles.

Hope this helps!!! Good luck!!! ;)

Define independent assortment within the framework of meiosis. What impact does homologous recombination have on the principle o
Paul [167]

Answer:

The law of independent assortment states that the different genes get separated independently of each other and gets assorted into gametes to produce different combination of genes.

It was formulates by famous scientist G. Mendel based on his work on peas.

For example, in a traditional dihybrid cross of true breeding round and yellow seed plant with wrinkled and green seed plant, F2 generation show four different combinations of phenotype:

  • round and yellow
  • round and green
  • wrinkled and yellow
  • wrinkled and green

It shows that genes for round and yellow were independently inherited and genes for wrinkled and green were independently inherited. Else, new combinations could not be observed.

Homologous recombination is an event that takes place in prophase I during meiosis. The genetic material is exchanged between the non-sister chromtids of homologous chromosomes. It adds into the genetic variation within a population by producing more combination of genes in the gametes.

It does not violate the law of independent assortment as the genes were independently assorted. It only helps in producing more combinations of genes.

disa [49]

Answer:

The original phagocyte secretes cytokines that attract other phagocytes

Explanation:

Before phagocytosis occurs and with the presence of an original phagocyte at the scratch site mostly a macrophage (also a phagocyte), chemical signals signals are given off to attract phagocytes to the scratch site.

These chemical signals may be cytokines that are given off by macrophages located in the tissue near the infection site etc. These cytokines produced can then stimulate the recruitment of phagocytes including the neutrophils and monocytes from the blood.
