By binding to DNA it triggers the transcription of a specific gene.
Answer:
hydrophilic
Explanation:
Large polar or ionic molecules, which are hydrophilic, cannot easily cross the phospholipid bilayer. Charged atoms or molecules of any size cannot cross the cell membrane via simple diffusion as the charges are repelled by the hydrophobic tails in the interior of the phospholipid bilayer.
We need the options in order to answer
Answer:
A DNA molecule produced by combining DNA from different sources is known as recombinant DNA.
Explanation:
Recombinant DNA (rDNA) can be obtained by coupling DNA fragments from different sources, a process that is performed at the restriction site level and uses enzymes.
Once rDNA has been designed —cutting out fragments of DNA that are then reassembled— it must be brought to a specific location in the cells, to be copied and expressed, using means of transport called vectors.
<u>DNA recombination</u> is performed in biotechnology laboratories specialized in the manipulation of genetic material.
The other options are not correct because:
- <u><em>Mutant or mutated DNA</em></u><em> is a DNA molecule with an alteration of its nitrogenous base sequence
</em>
- <u><em>Hybrid DNA</em></u><em> is a variant of recombiant DNA, in which only two DNA molecules from different sources are used.
</em>
- <u><em>Polyploid</em></u><em> refers to cells containing the genome of different species.</em>
Answer:
Cells in a large multicellular organism communicate with each other by chemical signals. These signals are passed from one cell to another. To receive and respond to a chemical signal, a cell must have a <u><em>receptor</em></u> for that chemical.
Explanation:
To generate a physiological response, all cells in the body have special proteins called receptors. These receptors are involved in detecting a chemical signal and generating a response. The receptors are specific for different kind of chemical signals. For example, a dopamine receptor will bind a dopamine molecule whereas an insulin receptor will be able to bind an insulin molecule. Apart from chemical signals, some cells might also respond to mechanical signals.
