Answer: Cell body, Soma, or Perikaryon.

Explanation:

Neurons can vary in morphology but they keep 4 well-defined regions with distinct functions, they are: the Axon, the Axon terminals, Dendrites, and the cell body. To answer the question we are going to analyze the cell body. Because it contains the nucleus and other organelles, in this region we have the synthesis of practically all neuronal proteins and membranes, which gives it importance. Special transport processes involving microtubules move proteins and membranes from their sites of synthesis in the cell body down the length of the axon to the terminals.

Where do light-independent reactions occur?

murzikaleks [220]

The light-independent reactions occur in the storm of the chloroplast<span>. The light- independent reactions are "independent" from light so they can happen else where. The light-dependent reactions happen in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast where the light is absorbed, and the reactions depend on the light.</span>

Recombinant DNA technology has produced medically useful products. Most of these products are _______ that are normally present

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

proteins; purify; expression

Explanation:

One of the products of recombinant DNA technology is antibiotics. To have penicillin, we used to have to breed fungus that produces the drugs. With recombinant DNA technology, you can extract the DNA that needed to produce penicillin, then put it into a bacteria using an expression vector. This technology will allow us to produce a specific protein (whether its enzyme, hormone, or anything) easier.

In cellular reproduction, ___ ALWAYS occurs in 5’ to 3’ direction

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

DNA replication

Explanation:

DNA replication is the process whereby the genetic material (DNA) duplicates itself into two identical copies. This process must occur prior to any cellular division (meiosis or mitosis) in order to ascertain that each daughter cell gets an even and correct amount of DNA.

The process of DNA replication begins with the unwinding of the double stranded DNA molecule into two single strands of DNA. One strand called leading strand runs from 3'-5' while the other strand runs from 5'-3'. However, DNA replication proceeds in the 5'-3' direction.
