Imagine an earthworm that has no chaetae. how would the lack of chaetae affect movement of the earthworm?

The worm would be unable to burrow and dig through the soil. Chaetae are involved in the locomotion of the worm by giving the worm grip and tools to burrow through the soil. Chaetae are made of chitin project from the body wall on each segment are arranged in 4 pairs and are sited on the ventral surface - two pairs of ventral chaetae are found just either side of the midventral line and two pairs are further out in the ventrolateral position (that is just ventral of the side of the worm).

Which of the following enzymes listed below are responsible for cancer cells ability to prevent aging of the cells and contribut

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

Telomerase

Explanation:

Repetitive regions at the ends of Chromosomes are known as telomeres and these are crucial for chromosomal stability. There is no gene present and they provide protection to internal parts of chromosome. The telomeres are eaten up slowly by ‘DNA REPAIR MECHANISM’ after many division cycles, which is considered as ageing. That why, a cell can divide only certain number of times.

Some cells have ability to express an enzyme telomerase that maintain the length of telomere. The telomerase enzyme contributes to cell immortality by rebuilding the damaged telomere. Thus telomerase enzyme is necessary for cancer initiation and survival of tumor. Telomerase enzyme can make its own DNA by using its RNA as template . It extends the overhang strands of DNA by using a comlementary DNA.
