Answer:
This is because the receptor is in the interior of the cell
Explanation:
When a specific signaling molecule is added to a cell whose cell surface has been stripped off by proteins the cell still responds because the receptor is in the interior of the cell.
Receptors are divided into two categories which are;
- Intracellular receptors or internal receptors which are found in the cytoplasm or nucleus of the cell. They respond to hydrophobic ligand molecules which are able to travel across the plasma membrane
- Cell surface receptors which are found in the plasma membrane
Signalling molecules are necessary for the coordination of cellular responses by serving as ligands and binding to cell receptors.
A type of signaling molecule are the small hydrophobic ligands which can directly diffuse through the plasma membrane and interact with internal receptors unlike the water soluble ligands. This is why the cell still responds after you strip off all proteins on the cell surface.
NOTE: Nitric oxide (NO) is a gas that also acts as a ligand, therefore it can pass through the plasma membrane of the cell and interact with receptors.

Explanation:
<u>a. How many chromosomes does a child receive from its father?</u>
Every person receives half of their chromosomes from their father and half from their mother. For that reason, if humans have 46 chromosomes in each somatic cell, 23 of them come from the father.
<u> b. How many autosomes and how many sex chromosomes are present in each somatic cell? </u>
Each somatic cell has 46 chromosomes in total; of which 22 pairs are autosomes and 1 pair are sex chromosomes. Therefore, 44 chromosomes are autosomes and 2 chromosomes are sex chromosomes (the X and/or Y chromosomes).
<u>c. How many chromosomes are present in a human ovum? </u>
The human gametes (ovum in women and sperm cell in men) have half of a somatic cell's genetic material, so that when they combine in a zygote to create their child, they form an initial cell with 46 chromosomes in total. The ovum therefore has 23 chromosomes: 22 autosomes and 1 sex chromosome.
<u>d. How many sex chromosomes are present in a human ovum?</u>
As I mentioned in the previous question, a human ovum has 1 sex chromosome. That way, when it combines with a sperm cell, which also has 1 sex chromosome, they form a zygote with <u>a pair</u> of sex chromosomes (one that comes from the mother and one from the father).
Chromatid means each of the two threadlike strands into which a chrosome divides longitudinally during cell division. Each contains a double helix of DNA
Answer:
No
Explanation:
A period is when your body produces a layer of tissue and blood to protect the baby. But the period is when your body is like "oops, false alarm" and disposes of the tissue and blood. During pregnancy, the baby is kept safe by the tissue and blood, that is why women don't have periods during pregnancy.
