Which statement is true about the cells in multicell organisms?

Biology

scoray [572]3 years ago

Answer:

d They usually have certain special functions

Explanation:

a) They can all turn into the same kind of cell needed - this is false. Cells in a multi cell organism such as humans cannot turn to any type of cell, this functionality is called pluripotency, and only exists in specialised cells called stem cells. These cells are present early in development, and in some tissues where cells are replaced frequently, like the cells of the gut.

b) They are all identical  - this is false. Although they all carry the same genetic information, the cells in a multicell organism are usually very different, carrying out different functions. E.g. the cells of the skin are very different from the cells of the blood.

c) They are prokaryotic cells  - this is false. All prokaryotic cells are single celled organisms, only eukaryotic cells can form part of multi cell organisms

d) They usually have certain special functions - this is true. Cells in a multicell organism usually perform different functions in order to contribute to the entire organism. For example, the function of the cells in the heart is very different from the function of the cells in the brain.

Which of the following if added to this sequence A—G—A—T—G—C—G—A—G—T—T—A—C—G—G might create an insertion mutation? A. a DNA mole
Talja [164]
D. Adding another base pair will re-arrange your DNA sequences and cause an insertion mutation. This will make your codons group of differently, and possibly give you a BAD mutation. However, sometimes the codons still make the same proteins as its supposed to, the mutation will NOT affect you.

Example:

THE BIG FAT CAT ATE THE RAT

Now, if i were to add a letter (X) to this and make the letters group up in three aka the codons:

THE XBI GFA TCA TAT ETH ERA T

As you can you can see, adding a base pair in a DNA insertion will usually have a negative effect, specifically a insertion mutation.
