Well, leukocytes and white blood cells are the same thing, and they have a nucleus so you cant rule those out. Nerve cells also have a nucleus that contains genes.. in that case, the answer is <span>erythrocytes.</span>

Answer: erythrocytes

Erythrocytes also called as red blood cells. These are the cells which does not possess nucleus. They exhibit a pigment named as hemoglobin, the heme  component of the hemoglobin has affinity for oxygen. It carries oxygen to all the parts of the body.

Initially the red blood cells are produced in the bone marrow with a nucleus. These red blood cells undergoes a process called as enucleation, this results in the removal of the nucleus from the cells. This process occurs when the cells attains maturity. It is a kind of adaptation that occurs in the red blood cells.  It allows red blood cells to carry more hemoglobin, thereby carrying more oxygen molecules. It allows the cells to have distinctively bi- concave shape, which facilitates diffusion of carbon dioxide and oxygen. This could not be possible in the presence of nucleus.

Which of the following is not true about prokaryotic cells?
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

Prokaryotes lack a true nucleus with well defined nuclear membrane and other membrane-bound organelles. Mitochondria are the double membrane bound organelle and hence is absent in prokaryotes. Mesosome is an extension of the cell membrane presence in the cytoplasm as infolding and serves to increases surface area and as a site for cellular respiration in prokaryotes. Histones are positively charged proteins that serve in the packaging of negatively charged eukaryotic DNA but are absent in prokaryotes.

So, the correct answer is option A.(DNA is complexed with histones).

Hypothesize what potential impact a mutated EGFR allele will have on a cell. Give one possible impact and explain your answer.
NemiM [27]

Answer/Explanation:

EGFR stands for epidermal growth factor receptor. It is a transmembrane protein acting as a tyrosine kinase receptor for epidermal growth factor ligands, which are associated with promoting cell division and proliferation. When epidermal growth factor binds to the receptor, it becomes activated and undergoes dimerization and autophosphorylation.

A mutation could occur making the receptor overactive. That is, it does not require ligand binding to become activated, meaning it is always in an "on" state. This would lead to uncontrolled proliferation, a hallmark of cancer.
