Which of the following reasons explains a possible advantage of using adult stem cells in therapeutic cloning rather than embryo

nic stem cells?
A. Adult stem cells may be obtained from the patient and would be less likely to be rejected by the patient's body.
B. Adult stem cells must be obtained from another individual before being injected into the patient and would be less likely to be rejected by the patient's body.
C. Embryonic stem cells wouldn't be able to enter the correct tissue of the patient's body, unlike an adult stem cell.
D. Adult stem cells have a longer lifespan in culture than embryonic stem cells and would persist for a longer time in the patient's body.

The right answer is A.

Adult stem cells are undifferentiated cells found in tissues that are predominantly composed of differentiated cells in most adult tissues and organs. These are usually multipotent cells. They are able to give rise to different cell lines of a given tissue. They are the basis of the natural renewal of a tissue and its repair following an injury.

Unlike the use of embryonic stem cells, those of adult stem cells pose no ethical problem as they are not derived from samples of destroyed human embryos.

Answer:

The correct answer would be option A.

Adult stem cells are the undifferentiated cells present in the human body which keeps dividing and differentiating in order to replenish and repair the damaged and lost cells and tissues.

These cells are derived from the patient's body and after specific differentiation, they are re-introduced into the patient's body.

It decreases the chances of tissue or organ rejection as compared to chances of rejection present with embryonic stem cells.

In contrast, embryonic stem cells are difficult to obtain and specific differentiation of these cells into the cells or tissues of choice is much more complex.

It increases the chances of tissue rejection in the patient due to which high doses of immunosuppressants are used.

How do transposable elements and short tandem repeats (STRs) differ? a. STRs occur within exons; transposable elements occur wit
Allisa [31]

Transposable elements and short tandem repeats are different because short tandem repeats make up only a small percentage of a given genome while transposable elements often make up larger parts of a genome. So the correct option is C.

<h3>What are transposable elements? </h3>

Transposable elements or transposons are a class of genetic elements. They can  “jump” from one location to another, in a genome.

Even though they are called “jumping genes,” they have an integrated site in a genome and are maintained there. Also, most of them are eventually inactivated and can not move any longer.

Whereas Short tandem repeats or STRs are short repeats of DNA. They are also known as microsatellites or simple sequence repeats. They have a repetitive unit of 1-6 bp and form a series of 100 nucleotide lengths.

Therefore the correct option C.

Why is the microscope important to the study of microlife?
Sophie [7]
Wait this is highschool biology?! 
Woah... thought it would be harder....


Anyways, see "micro" means really small, so small that your bare eyesight can't take it (or see it, I don't care). A microscope was meant to see things that our eyes can't. Since humans cant see microlife we use a microscope.

A student found a grasshopper in their backyard and wanted to take it to school to show the teacher the next day. Thestudent put
Nat2105 [25]

Answer options:

  • The nucleus was unable to provide instructions for the other organelles in the cells.
  • The mitochondria were unable to undergo cellular respiration and could not produce energy for the cells to function.
  • The lysosomes were unable to remove waste from the cells.
  • The cell membrane was unable to allow substances to enter and exit the cells.

Answer:

  • The mitochondria were unable to undergo cellular respiration and could not produce energy for the cells to function.

Explanation:

Mitochondria are the site of aerobic respiration. This is the process that produces energy in the form of ATP. ATP provides energy for all cellular processes. Without this energy, the cell cannot carry out its functions and will quickly die.

Aerobic respiration requires a good supply of oxygen, which the grasshopper would not have had in a sealed container.
