NISA [10]

Answer:

<h2>Differential gene expression </h2>

Explanation:

1. Cell specialization occurs due to the differential gene expression, it is the process which is responsible for the production of cells with different traits at different positions and at different time. This process changes cells  from simple to more specialized in  both structure as well as in function. This is all due to the differential gene expression where all cells beside containing the same gene, express different genes in different cells.

2. Cell differentiation is very important among almost all multicellular organisms. This process results in the  formation of a complex organism with different types of tissues and cells from a zygote.

Hormones are specific. Explain how a receptor results in the cell being able to respond to only one specific hormone.
Vadim26 [7]

This is because the active site of the receptors on the cell and the hormone are akin to lock and key respectively. The conformations of the receptor’s active site and the hormone allow them to interlock with specificity. The receptor (which is a transmembrane protein) is connected to second messengers inside of the cell that triggers a biochemical cascade in response to the hormone.

Water present in soil is drawn by the roots of a plant through the xylem to the leaves of the plant. Plants like the large sequo
Solnce55 [7]
<span>Transport of the water from the roots to the leaves is driven through the vascular tissue called xylem. Water gets absorbed from the soil by osmosis and it must cross several cell layers (filtration system) before entering the xylem. The method used in the upward movement of water through the xylem is determined by the cohesion-tension theory (capilarity+transpiration). The transport is passive and it occures thanks to the primary force that creates the capillary action (adhesion between the water and the surface of the xylem and cohesion between individual water molecules) movement of water. Transpiration is also an important factor in the upward water movement. Transpiration in leaves creates tension (differential pressure) and because of this tension, water is being pulled up from the roots into the leaves.</span>

What is Transcription, Translation, IN YOUR OWN WORDS
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

Transcription is the process of making an RNA copy of a gene sequence. This copy, called a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule, leaves the cell nucleus and enters the cytoplasm, where it directs the synthesis of the protein, which it encodes.
