Answer:

The correct answer is - True

Explanation:

A modified type of stratified epithelium is transitional epithelium. Transitional epithelium tissue provides the ability to stretch to the structure in which they are present.

Transitional epithelium layer is found in the urinary bladder and ureters in the body so due to transitional epethilium these structures get the ability to stretch.

If the urinary bladder is filled with urine then the cell of the transitional epithelium becomes flat like stratified squamous epethilium and when the bladder is empty it gets to relax and cells convert into cuboidal shape.

So depending on the functional state of the bladder, transitional epithelium may resemble stratified squamous or stratified cuboidal epithelium. Therefore the correct answer is true.

The answer is true.

Transitional epithelium of the urinary bladder (urothelium) is a type of stratified (multilayered) epithelium. Layers of epithelial cells in this tissue can contract and expand in order to adapt to the degree of distension needed.

Layer of basal cells (basal layer) consists of cuboidal or columnar cells. Superficial layer, on the other hand, can vary depending on the degree of distension: so, when the bladder is not stretched, the cells are cuboid, but when the bladder is filled with urine, stretched, the cells are squamous.

A large protein that passes through the nuclear pore must have an appropriate A)sorting sequence, which typically contains the p
motikmotik

Answer:

A)sorting sequence, which typically contains the positively charged amino acids lysine and arginine.

Explanation:

Protein sorting refers to the cellular process by which proteins are transported to their corresponding localizations both inside or outside the cell. A nuclear localization sequence (NLS) is a short amino acid signaling sequence that is able to mediate the transport of proteins into the nucleus. The proteins that are 'tagged' by an NLS sequence can pass through the nuclear envelope via nuclear pores. This sequence (NLS) is typically composed of protein motifs consisting of positively charged lysine (Lys) and arginine (Arg) amino acid residues, which are exposed on the protein surface. In consequence, the NLS sequence is recognized by the importin α/β heterodimer receptor, which transports the NLS-tagged protein into the nucleus. It has been shown that the deletion of the NLS sequence disrupts nuclear import, whereas the fusion of non-nuclear proteins with NLS sequences represents a useful strategy to introduce proteins into the nucleus.
