Answer

Discovery

              In 1928 Kotlzuf observed a network of fibers extended through out the cytoplasm with hep of light microscope. It was confirmed by Cohen when studying it under electron microscope in 1972.

Structure

            It is a network of protein fibers that extend through out the cytoplasm. It is also called as skeleton of cytoplasm.  

Composition

            It is composed of different types of proteins, like actin, troponin, myosin etc.  

Types

         Cytoskeleton is of three types, these are

1. Micofilaments

2. Microtubules

3. Intermediate filaments.

Function

1. Cyclosis

              It is the streaming movement of cytoplasm which is controlled by cytoskeleton. It help in the transport of different organelles like ribosome and mitochondria to those area where they are needed.

2. Amoeboid movement

             Cytoskeleton help in amoeboid movement through which amoeba move towards sunlight or any other thing needed as food.

3. Maintain cell shape

            Cytoskeleton help in maintaining shape of cell.

4. Spindle fibers

          Cytoskeleton also help in the assembly and disassembly of spindle fibers during cell division.

.....culturing viruses that requires a human host

Answer:

Diploid cell culture lines, developed from human embryos, are widely used for culturing viruses that require a human host

Explanation

Viruses can not thrive in a non-living host or artificial media.They  are intracelular parasites  which needed living host to replicate . Cultures lines from Human embryo  in are therefore used for culturing viruses of human host, so that its mode of replication and gene expression can be studied, and therefore its virulence can easily be studied.

This method have the advantage that;

1.there is no need to make use of the whole animal rather,on a tiny tissue needed can be isolated for culture.

2. the cells growth is continuous,and can be preserved in liquid Nitrogen and renew for future culture

3. cells can be grown in different containers,  with ability to decide the number of cells needed.

Temperature is kept at optimum for human in the culture at  37 degree centigrade, nutrients are provided, NaHC03 as buffers for C02, and  the medium is humidified.

The heterozygous birds phenotype would therefore be black and white because both parent genes are dominant so they would be fully expressed,none would overpower the other(no dominant or recessive) this is known as Codominance and and example of this is with the blood types.

Where does transcription take place in the cell
bixtya [17]

In a prokaryotic cell, transcription and translation are coupled; that is, translation begins while the mRNA is still being synthesized. In a eukaryotic cell, transcription occurs in the nucleus, and translation occurs in the cytoplasm.

Hope This Helps!    Have A Nice Day!!

The disease osteoporosis often results from insufficient intake of dietary calcium salts. Of the three samples of bone you teste
Fittoniya [83]

The correct answer is the one that shows a bone having the most porous appearance inside.

Osteoporosis is a disease of the different types of bone tissue that make up bone ("cortical bone" and "trabecular bone").

It is a disease that is related to a decrease in the amount of bone tissue in the bones and / or an alteration of its structure: thinning of the cortex and bone trabeculae that become porous.

The cause is an imbalance between the deficit activity of osteoblasts and normal osteoclastic bone resorption.
