The sole reason why red blood cells are unable to replace damaged proteins is that red blood cells lack DNA and cell organelles such as nucleus, ribosomes and mitochondria which are crucial for protein synthesis, assembly and repair. In other words they lack both the information and the machinery for making or repair of proteins.
Due to lack of DNA and cell organelles, red blood cells cannot be able satisfy the central dogma which summarizes synthesis of proteins as DNA → RNA → proteins.
DNA has the genetic information on how proteins should be made, RNA is responsible for transferring the information from DNA in the cell nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm, then translating or decoding this information, which results in the making of protein.

Hi there!
Using the image below, you can see that all of the boxes are Tt, or heterozygous. Therefore, 1 = Tt, 2 = Tt, 3 = Tt, and 4 = Tt.
Hope this helps!! :)
If there's anything else that I can help you with, please let me know!
Answer: The European Union's most important water pollution act is called Water Framework Directive.
The demand for clean lakes and rivers, coastal beaches and groundwater by the environmental organizations and the citizens the commission made water conservation a chief priority under which the Water Framework Directive was made. The Water Framework Directive has some of key objectives like expansion of the scope of water protection for all types of water sources, water managements on the basins of rivers, ensuring proper quality standards, involvement of citizens and correct pricing etc.
Answer:
1. Nerve impulse
2. Neurons
Explanation:
Neurotransmitters are compounds with low molecular weight. They are secreted by axon terminals of the neurons. The released neurotransmitters then bind to the receptors located on next neuron or on the surface of muscle cell.
The function of neurotransmitters is to carry the nerve impulse from presynaptic neuron to the postsynaptic neuron or from neurons to the effector organs such as muscles and glands.
For example, neurotransmitters are released into the synaptic cleft to transmit the nerve impulse between neurons.
