Why is DNA critical to cell differentiation?

Biology
1 answer:
Svet_ta [14]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Cell differentiation is the process by which dividing cells change their function. DNA is essential in gene expression, which gives the ability of cells that are specializing to be able to adequately perform the role they are trying to carry out. It is generally understand that all the cells in our body contain the same DNA, yet they carry out different functions. The key is understanding that specific parts/combinations of the genome are activated which changes the function and shape of the cell. Additionally, if the DNA is damaged or mutated in certain areas of the chromosome, it can cause certain differentiated cells to not function properly.

How do the diffuse modulatory and point-to-point synaptic communication systems in the brain differ? list four ways?
Vesna [10]

Diffuse modulatory synapses or neuromodulation function different than simple point-to point synapses.

1. Number of postsynaptic neurons

In neuromodulation neuron uses one or more neurotransmitter to regulate several neurons. In Synaptic point-to-point transmission only one particular neuron receives signal from the presynaptic neuron.

2. Neurotransmitter sin neuromodulation (neuromodulators) are not reabsorbed broken down by the pre-synaptic neuron like those in classic synapse. Neuromodulators stay in cerebrospinal fluid.

3. Receptors are also different: the receptors for the neuromodulators are typically G-protein coupled receptors while in classical chemical neurotransmission, they are ligand-gated ion channels.

4. Neuromodulation is a slow process, while classic synaptic transmission occurs fast.
