Answer:

Junctions among epithelial cells lining the digestive tract. (Ans. B)

Explanation:

Tight junction are defined as a barrier is form where the membrane of two adjacent cells join together. Cell membrane of two adjacent cells connected by two main proteins claudins and occludins (trans-membrane proteins).

Tight junction helping to prevent molecules to passing between the cells and helping to maintain the polarity present in the cell with the help of bind cells together.

Tight junction have several functions:

1) Tight junction are present in the epithelial cells, these cells lines the body cavity and the surface which is present in the body. They are helping to separate epithelial cells from the nearby environment and also helping to separate from the surface which is present in the body.

2) Most important function of the tight junction is to help in forming a barrier which prevent molecules from moving around.

Answer:

1) A double Helix with complementary bases in the middle. The backbone is made of sugar and phosphates. The middle is bases

2) To hold the genetic info for the cell

3) To bring the genetic info from the nucleus to the ribosomes as DNA can't leave the nucleus

4) To bring amino acids to the ribosomes to help build a protein

5) A chain of amino acids held together by peptide bonds

6) Ribosomes

7) Because those are the bases that are complementary in DNA so they must be equal

8) It could lead to a mutation as it would cause the mRNA to code for a different amino acid and thus a different protein will be made

9) DNA is the blueprint for mRNA which will travel to the ribosomes and code for specific amino acids which will eventually build a protein
