Epithelial tissue as she scrapes the top few layers of skin

Answer: Epithelial tissue.

Explanation:

<u>Epithelial tissue is one of the four basic types of tissues</u>, along with nervous tissue, muscle tissue and connective tissue.

Epithelial tissues form the covering of all surfaces, line body cavities and hollow organs. Therefore they are widespread throughout the body.

This type of tissue serves several important functions, such as:

  • Barrier: it prevents foreign materials from entering the body
  • Protection: it protects structures or tissues deeper in the body.
  • Sensation: Sensory nerve endings embedded in this tissue transmit sensations from the outside.

<u>An example of epithelial tissue is the epidermis, which is the outermost layer of the skin</u>. When Elaine fell off the bike, the most exposed tissue is the epithelium (skin) of her hands, and it's the tissue that was damaged.

Classify each description as true of introns only, exons only, or both.A-present in eukaryotic genomesB-generally absent from ba
maxonik [38]

The right answers are:

A-present in eukaryotic genomes ==> Both exons and introns

B-generally absent from bacterial genomes ==> Introns

C-part of the final mRNA strand ==> Exons

D-code for an amino acid sequence ==> Exons

E-removed from initial mRNA strand prior to translation ==> Introns

F-present in the DNA used as the template for transcription ==> Both exons and introns

In the genes of eukaryotic organisms, the exons are the segments of an RNA precursor that are conserved in the RNA after splicing and that are found in mature RNA in the cytoplasm. The segments of the RNA precursor that are removed during splicing are called in opposition to introns. Exons are mainly found in messenger RNAs (mRNAs) encoding proteins. Some mRNAs may sometimes undergo an alternative splicing process in which one or more exons may be excised or some introns preserved in rare cases.
