Actin filaments have polarity. This means that the two ends can be identified due to structural differences. The plus end is the

end to which subunits are added more rapidly. True or False
Biology
1 answer:
Naily [24]3 years ago

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Actin is a globular protein which can polymerize to form long filaments called actin filaments. These filaments are abundant in muscle cells but are also found in other places.

While polymerizing, the new actin monomers always join the existing filament in the same orientation hence the filament becomes polar. It has a barbed end and a pointed end. Barbed end is also called plus end because monomers are added to this end five to ten times faster than the minus or pointed end. As a result, the filament overall grows in the plus end direction. Hence, the given information about actin filament is true.

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

Yes, it is a reasonable conclusion.

Explanation:

The long lasting gas that kept sunlight from penetrating the atmosphere was the key factor that promote a disturbance on the chain food. Without sunlight, plants could not produce their own energy, therefore they could not resist to this environment condition and die. That way, the herbivores could not feed and die as well. Also the carnivore could not survive because their supply of food of herbivores are not alive anymore. This scenario would promote a mass extinction of every dinosaur.

Sometimes a mutation is beneficial to an organism’s fitness and can be passed on to offspring. What is likely to happen to the m
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

The mutation will become more common in offspring and increase the genetic variability in the gene pool.

Explanation:

If the mutation is beneficial to the organism and this organism breeds its offspring may carry this gene, if it´s really beneficial and for example makes an organism to have more access to females the mutation may spread faster.

The only way for a mutation to spread to other organisms is reproduction (eukaryotes)

A mutation may also spread to other organisms in prokaryotes in which bacteria may take plasmids (DNA fragments) from the environment.
