What is the major difference between a somatic cell and an egg cell?

Biology
1 answer:
kiruha [24]4 years ago

In humans, a diploid cell has 46 chromosomes. Gametes are sex cells, so the egg and sperm. They are considered haploid because each gamete contains half the number of chromosomes that an organism's somatic cells will have. Produced through meiosis, human gametes each have 23 chromosomes.

In a study on the biological bases of learning, lab rat a is given a drug that blocks dopamine activity in its brain. thereafter
Anvisha [2.4K]
We should expect that the rat will have have more difficulty in learning the task compared to a normal rat. This is because the rat has been injected with a certain drug that oppresses the dopamine activity. And then the rat is placed in an operant chamber where a lever-pressing task is shaped through positive reinforcement.

The metabolic fate of fatty acids is dependent on two enzymes, carnitine acyltransferase i and acetyl-coa carboxylase. carnitine
zvonat [6]

The correct answer is the last statement.

If the regulatory serine is mutated to alanine, then acetyl-CoA carboxylase will get activated spontaneously and will produce malonyl-CoA. The increased concentrations of malonyl-CoA will obstruct the oxidation of fatty acids by preventing the entry of fatty acids into the mitochondria.

It is because the AMP-activated protein kinase phosphorylates the serine residues of acetyl-CoA carboxylase to inactivate it. If a mutation occurs in such residues, then the AMPL cannot phosphorylate acetyl-CoA carboxylase and this enzyme will get activated spontaneously.

In such a situation, there will be more than sufficient production of malonyl-CoA, which will inhibit the admittance of more fatty acid getting inside the mitochondria; this will indirectly prevent the oxidation of fatty acids.
