What are the genes on the x chromosome

1 answer:

6 0

Any gene on the X, even if it is recessive in the female, will be expressed in males. These are referred to as X-linked genes. Genes found only on the Y chromosome are referred to as Y-linked genes, and expressed only in males. Genes on either sex chromosome can be called sex-linked genes.

Match each type of cell junction with its description.

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Tight junctions - prevent liquid from seeping between cells

Desmosomes - act as rivets to hold adjacent cells together when epithelial tissue moves

Gap junctions - allow movement of cytosol, ions, and small molecules between animal cells

Plasmodesmata - openings through the cell walls of plant cells that allow adjacent cells to share materials

Explanation:

1) Tight junctions are one of the cell junctions found in animal cells. Tight junctions function to prevent the flow of liquid materials between cells.

2) Desmosomes are another type of cell junctions whose function is to form a connection between two adjacent cells. The structure formed by this connection confers strength upon the tissues involved.

3) Gap junctions are the most commonly found cell junctions found in animal cells that connects adjacent cells allowing the passage of cytosol, ions and other small molecules in them from one adjacent cell to another.

4) Plasmodesmata is a cell junction found in plant cells. They are small openings lying across the cell wall of plant cells whose function is to connect the cells and facilitate the movement of materials from one cell to another.

Glucose is broken down in the chemical processes of aerobic respiration.

Papessa [141]

$\bold{\huge{\purple{\underline{ Answer }}}}$

Aerobic respiration :- Aerobic respiration is process of respiration in which complete oxidation of glucose takes place in the presence of oxygen

That is, 

Aerobic respiration is takes place in four stages :-

Glycolysis
The link reaction
The Krebs cycle
Oxidative phosphorylation

In aerobic respiration, Glucose with 6 carbon atoms broken into 2 pyruvic acid each with 3 carbon atom and produces water + CO2 + energy.

<h3>Whereas, </h3>

Anaerobic respiration :- is the process of respiration in which incomplete oxidation of glucose takes place in the absence of oxygen

The end products of glucose in anaerobic respiration is

In human muscles,  Lactic acid + Energy
In yeast, Ethanol + CO2 + Energy

Hence, Option D is the correct answer.

Colony stimulating factors will result in A. platelet production B. fibrinolysis C. white blood cell production D. the productio

____ [38]

Answer:

(C). white blood cell production

Explanation:

CSFs (colony stimulating factors) are glycoproteins that activate intracelluar pathways and promote proliferation of hemopoietic stem cell to form immune cells (white blood cells).

CSFs are released in response to infection and interacts with blood stem cells to produce new immune cells. These resulting new immune cells create an army of cells to fight against the infection and provide immunity.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
