A web of proteins in the cytoplasm is known as what?

Biology
1 answer:
Artemon [7]3 years ago
5 0
<span>The cytoskeleton is a structure found in the cytoplasm that is composed of a web of proteins. It is a network composed of protein microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules. They can be found in all living organisms and are responsible for giving them their distinct cell shapes and coherence. 

Aside from providing the cell shape, the cytoskeleton is also responsible for cell movement, organelle movement, and cell division.</span> <span>It plays a crucial role in cell division because they provide the movement of chromosomes to the daughter nucleus. The absence of these protein filaments would result to different abnormalities and diseases in the genes. </span>

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

120 white individuals

30 yellow individuals

10 green individuals  

Explanation:

Available data:

  • Dominant epistasis: Phenotypic frequencies 12:3:1
  • W allele codes for a dominant white phenotype
  • w allele codes for a colored squash
  • Y allele codes for a dominant yellow phenotype
  • y allele codes for a recessive green phenotype
  • W allele will always mask the phenotype produced by Y or y alleles
  • 160 offspring

F1 Phenotypic Frequency)

White phenotype: 12/16 = 120 individuals

Yellow phenotype: 3/16 = 30 individuals

Green Phenotype: 1/16 = 10 individuals

To know how many offspring are expected to have the white, yellow, and green phenotypes, you can perform a three simple rule. This is:

16 ------- 160 offspring

12 White ------- X = 120 offspring

3 Yellow ------- X= 30 offspring

1 Green --------X = 10 offspring

Which of the following components of the immune system is the target for vaccinations?
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D. the adaptive immune system.

Explanation:

The adaptive immune system is the immune system that takes place after the first exposure to a specific antigen either from vaccination or a pathogen. Adaptive responses are of two types: the cell-mediated and humoral immune response, the cell-mediated immune response occurs with the help of T cells, and where is humoral immune response is B cells and antibodies.

Vaccination targets the adaptive immune system as they produce antibodies against the pathogen provided by vaccination.

Thus, the correct answer is option D. the adaptive immune system.

Why are there species instead of a continuum of various animals?
melamori03 [73]
Because evolution itself is a very slow process. Having said that, the chance of having a continuum of various animals would mean that evolution would have progressed very fast. Because evolution is slow, different species establish themselves for different ecological niches and environments, this enables them to become better through time at a certain environment which then leads to eventual diversification in the number of species.
