Which statements describe telomeres and the actions of telomerase?

Biology
1 answer:
docker41 [41]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Option (d).

Explanation:

Telomere may be defined as the repetitive DNA sequence present at the ends of the chromosomes. Telomeres consists of the nucleotide sequence rich in G and consists of vertebrate sequence  AGGGTT.

The mutation in telomerase enzyme can cause the excessive replication of the telomeres. These leads to the excessive cellular proliferation and makes the cell immortal. This extensive growth of telomere is one of the maine reason of the cancer development.

Thus, the correct answer is option (d).

The small cell extensions that beat to create an up-ward current are called microvilli.

<h3>What are microvilli?</h3>

Microvilli are small extensions which are found on the surface of the alveoli of the lungs.

The microvilli play an important role in the lungs as the help to remove particles and mucus that may obstruct the lungs as a result of the upward current they create in the lungs from their beating motion.

Therefore, the paralyzed small cell extensions that beat to create an up-ward current are called microvilli.

What are the lines of evidence that Alfred Wegener used to support the idea of continental drift? Why did scientists of his day
Zanzabum

Answer:

Wegener presented a number of evidence to prove his plate tectonic theory, such as :

  • The matching of rocks on each side of the Atlantic Ocean like a puzzle.
  • His knowledge hat organisms such as freshwater reptiles were found in almost all continents
  • He also identified organisms that live in different continents, and could not possibly cross over to the other continents due to water bodies (oceans) separating the continents.

Wegener's plate tectonic theory caused doubts to other scientists, because of the way he presented his evidence. Other scientists considered his mechanisms unrealistic

In rabbits, black fur (B) is dominant to white fur (b). A purebred black furred male is bred with a female that had the recessiv
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

All the offsprings will be black-furred (Bb)

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for fur length in rabbits. The allele for black fur (B) is dominant to the allele for white fur (b). This means that a rabbit heterozygous for this gene (Bb) will have a black fur.

According to this question, a purebred black furred male (BB) is bred with a female that had the recessive white fur (bb). The parents will produce gametes as follows:

BB - B only

bb - b only

Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), the genotypic proportion of the produced offsprings is as follows:

Bb, Bb, Bb, Bb

All Bb (heterozygous) means that all of the offsprings will be black-furred.

Which force primarily acts on a natural or artificial satellite to keep it in orbit around a planet
rjkz [21]

Answer:

Gravity

Explanation:

When its altitude is matched by the pull of the Earth's gravity, a satellite circles Earth. The satellite will fly off into orbit in a straight line or crash down to Earth without this equilibrium.

By juggling two things, a satellite retains its orbit: its velocity (the speed it takes to travel along a straight line) and the gravitational force on it that the Planet provides. To resist the greater gravitational force, a spacecraft orbiting closer to the Earth needs more velocity.
