What is a stem cell

Biology
2 answers:
Fantom [35]4 years ago
6 0

Answer: The correct answer is -

Special cells taken from the human umbilical cord.

Explanation:

Stem cell can be described as an undifferentiated cell (that is without being specialised) of a multicellular organism that has potential of giving  more cells of the same kind through proliferation, and from which ultimately specialised cells (such as muscle cells, nerve cells, blood cells) are produced through the process of differentiation.

They are present in embryonic (particularly in inner cell mass) as well as adult stage (such as in blood, bone marrow, and adipose tissue) of an individual.

Blood from the human Umbilical cord during birth is a good source of stem cells, which is also used in research and in the treatment of diseases.

Thus, first option is the right answer.

C.) Special Cells that are present in fetuses, but not babies or adults. This is what makes stem cell research so controversial.

What's the new peptide chain when the new DNA segment is translated?
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is - Methionine, serine, histidine, aspartate, glycine

Explanation:

The new segment of DNA is: 3'-TACAGGGTGCTACCCACT-5', which performs two processes to form a peptide chain, transcription, and translation. In transcription, the DNA segment is encoded to an mRNA molecule which has its complementary sequence to DNA sequence.

New DNA strand: 3'-TACAGGGTGCTACCCACT-5'

mRNA sequence: 3'-AUGUCCCACGAUGGGUGA-5'

The translation of this mRNA would be on the basis of chart

AUG - Methionine (start codon)

UCC - serine

CAC - histidine

GAU - aspartate

GGG - glycine

UGA -  stop codon

The peptide chain would be - Methionine, serine, histidine, aspartate, glycine

DNA has two strands. If the sequence of nucleotides of one strand was known, is it possible to use that information to determine
Tatiana [17]
Yes it is possible to determine the possible sequence of the second strand, as knowing that the strands run in anti parallel manner, the orientation of the deoxyribose sugar and the phosphate groups would be in the opposite direction as compared to the first strand, which is told based on the carbon on the phosphate and the sugar. Also since we know the base pairing rules of DNA, we can determine the nucleotide sequence of nitrogenous bases for the second strand.
