Why do adult urochordates (tunicates) lack notochords, even though larval urochordates have them? Larvae use notochords to _____

.
A) aid in swimming; adults are sessile and thus no longer propel themselves.
B) stiffen their bodies; in adults, the notochord is replaced by a column of bone.
C) induce tissue differentiation; in adults, tissue is already differentiated.
D) organize their nervous systems; adults' nervous systems are fully developed and do not change.

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

A tunicate is marine invertebrate animal  which is a part of chordates. They have notochords and dorsal nerve chord. The subphylum of the organism is called as Urochordata.

The adult urochordates lack notochord but the larval stage of the urochordates have notochord. This is because it helps in swimming of the organism which is required only at the larval stage.

The adult stage of the tunicates is sessile and they do not swim so they do not require notochord.

What is pollination? Identify three ways pollen can be transferred. How is cross-pollination different
Stells [14]

Answer:

The transfer of pollen to a stigma, ovule, flower, or plant to allow fertilization. It can be transferred by things that feed from what has pollen. Self-pollination occurs when the pollen from the anther is deposited on the stigma of the same flower, or another flower on the same plant. Cross-pollination is the transfer of pollen from the anther of one flower to the stigma of another flower on a different individual of the same species.

Critical protein-protein interactions within the CARMA1-BCL10-MALT1 complex: Take-home points for the cell biologist
dolphi86 [110]

Protein-protein interactions within the CARMA1-BCL10-MALT1 complex:

  • The T-cell receptor and B-cell receptor-dependent NF-B induction and lymphocyte activation are mediated by the CBM complex, which is made up of the proteins CARMA1, BCL10, and MALT1.
  • Each of the proto-oncoproteins CARMA1, BCL10, and MALT1 is a somatic gain-of-function mutation or chromosomal translocation, and dysregulation of CBM signaling is a characteristic of numerous lymphoid malignancies, including Activated B-cell Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma.
  • Moreover, a number of immunological dysregulation diseases have been linked to both gain- and loss-of-function germline mutations in CBM complex proteins.
  • Over the past ten years, careful examination of the interactions of CBM components has yielded a wealth of detailed structural knowledge.
  • Here, we discuss important discoveries about the molecular nature of these protein-protein interactions that have helped the research develop a detailed understanding of how these proteins come together to form high-order filamentous CBM complexes.
  • Approaches to therapeutic suppression of the CBM complex have thus far centered on obstructing MALT1 protease activity in order to treat lymphoid malignancy and/or autoimmunity.
  • The structural effects of MALT1 protease inhibitors on significant protein-protein interactions are also reviewed in detail.
